3. Foz - Hes still our best number 6
2. Ruben - So much admiration for this bloke. Its hard to believe so many of us were calling for his head two years ago. Myself included. Playing busted and still giving it is all.
1. Koula - really liking what i see here. Still a work in progress but offering so much more than Harper.

The Morgan Harper performance of the week goes to Marty. Just let him go now to the Cows.

Honourable mention to Burbo. Had a good dig in some decent minutes. Has to improve his one on one defence but that'll come.

 

[Will on the hill]

3 Foz. Ball playing was good again but his effort areas were amazing tonight. Kick chase and scramble defence were the best by far.
2 Shoe. Looked the most dangerous ball player we had.
1 Jake. Absolutely busted his guts tonight almost did the work of 2 players

3 - Foran
2 - DCE
1 - Garrick

Reuben Garrick has to be not only the most improved player at Manly but damn near in the whole NRL.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

3. Reuben. Man, he's been great for us this year. All effort, plenty of metres and tough carries.
2. Tippytoes. Again, plenty of metres. And the best offload of the night, even though it was called forward when it clearly wasn't.
1. Koula. Again with the metres. Bonus points for some tough defence in a very difficult position.

3 - Foz. Can't believe I thought his signing was a mistake. He was enormous.
2 - Garrick. Didn't put a foot wrong and made some great runs.
1 - Koula. Every bit an NRL player. Great defensively and tough as nails.

Special mention to DCE. He busted his arse trying to get us going. Played a great game.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I get the praise for Cherry's game and people giving him points here, but I just can't bring myself to forgive him for that ridiculous pass he threw over the sideline when we were hot on the attack and really could have put the fear deep into the bowels of the Bunnies. That killed our momentum, and the next thing thing you know, Souths were back in the game. Yeah, they probably would have overrun us regardless, but it's moments like that in DCE's game that offset (and often more than offset) the good things he can and does do.

3. Lawton
2. Tapau
1. Keppie

And if we are being serious...

3. Koula... all effort... hits hard in D - can't wait to see him given some decent ball in space
2. Schuster.. was obviously underdone but created plenty and will only make us more potent in the coming weeks
1. Garrick... just a solid citizen who gives it his all - credit where credits due (I was 1 of a few calling for his head previously)

Great efforts from Koula, Tippy toes & Keppie

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Unbelievable last week it was john holmes this week lawton we can’t get a break.

 

[JakeyB789]

3 - Koula - has potential to one of the best centres in rugby league IMO
2 - Foran - having a fantastic season
1 - Schuster - so good to have him back out there, a bit hit and miss but our most dangerous player out there

 

[frank stokes]

Hard week... most of the boys played their backsides off...
3 - Foz... he was great
2 - Frog... thought he was brilliant in the middle
1 - Tippytoes... hard to miss his efforts, really strong hitups and great finish to the try...

3. Foz & DCE- for their efforts in all areas, they really led the way,
1. Shoe- the kid‘s got some real class about him

Honourable mentions to: Jake(tireless as ever), Sanga(brave effort to play busted), Hank Scorpio(ditto and for lasting as long as he did), Pepsi for another impressive performance and Tippytoes went very well tonight as well.

and in the best traditions of QI

-3. Marty, one really moronic play, a bad miss and a general lack of effort; Marty, at your age and pay grade, you should have stood up to be counted tonight and shown the young boys the way.
-2. Not awarded
-1. Not awarded
0. Karl, you let your team and yourself down badly but the look of dejection and remorse on your face in the sheds, tells me that you already know that, so chin up and when they let you play again, ensure you make it up to everyone.
