Player Ratings: Eels vs Roosters
Wade McKinnon - 6
Well contained by the Roosters
Ashley Graham - 6
Played a hand in both Eels tries and made a try-saving one-on-one strip on Ryan Cross.
Luke O'Dwyer - 5
Scored a try but didn't have a lot of opportunities.
Luke Burt - 5
Had little impact.
Matthew Peterson - 3
Ridiculous pass to McKinnon was the start of the end for Parramatta. Also got pushed into touch on a couple of occasions. Dissapointing way to end what has been a great back half of the year.
Chris Thorman - 3
A defensive liability. Missed four tackles and had little impact in attack.
Michael Witt - 5
Another good bomb produced a try and short kick ahead almost resulted in another. Long kicking game was fair but was outplayed by Finch.
Corey Pearson - 5
Caused the Roosters forwards no concern. Did well to lob the ball to O'Dwyer for first try.
Lee Hopkins - 5
Didn't get much game time after suffering concussion but looked the Eel most likely to spark something when he was on the field.
Michael Vella - 4
Dropped a ball and was unable to get any go forward happening.
Nathan Hindmarsh - 8
God knows what the score would have been without Hindmarsh.
Nathan Cayless - 8
Did plenty of work in attack and made some unbelievable offloads.
Daniel Wagon - 5
Fell of Michael Crocker to concede a try.
James Webster - 4
Didn't provide much spark when he came on.
Dean Widders - 4
Had no impact
Adam Peek - 4
Spilled the ball on his second touch and was, like all of the Eels props, ineffective.
Justin Tsoulos - 4
Made a good hit or two but wasn't able to turn the game around at all
Totals and season rating tomorrow.
