I’m assuming you will be doing yours once origin is over...... @callmack1
I shall start with the outside backs player ratings for mine:
Latrell: Had a bit of a slow start finding his feet at the back and had a few games with far too many errors and discipline was an issue at fine especially when he was suspended for those 2 weeks it really cost us. Now for the good Latrell kept growing as the season went on and his passing game is sublime and he was second in the NRL for try assists and line break assists before he got injured. His kick returns also got better as the season went on he’d make very good metres starting our sets off on the front foot. I think as the season went on his positional play got better too. Latrell is only gonna get better for mine in 2021. For this season I give him a 7/10.
AJ: Top tryscorer once again what an achievement. I am so glad we have kept him and he’s staying on unders. His hat trick against St Merge was phenomenal as was his 5 try performance against the Rorters. Things AJ struggled with were sometimes in defence and on kick returns he would go missing and not make the tough metres. I wanna see him bulk up a bit more this off season. For this season I rate him a 6.5/10.
Roberts: Did not see much of him in 2020 due to his mental health at first and then injury. I don’t mean to be rude here but in his games he did play I have to be honest he was underwhelming. For this season I rate him a 3/10.
Burns: I think he only played 8 games and in those his defence was an issue and he wasn’t backing himself. Also he wasn’t getting involved in the shit work as much as he should and he had some errors in him too. He did in a couple of games show his potential though and I think he scored a couple of good tries. Keeping fit has been his big issue as we know and the injury toll has no doubt affected his confidence. For this season I rate him a 3.5/10.
Campbell: Due to Roberts and Burns injuries Campbell got to play centre which he has mainly played coming up through the juniors and boy he didn’t disappoint. Easily his best season yet and he keeps maturing. Most games he was in it all doing the shit work out of our own end he was always there and he scored some great tries and made some big plays in defence. His defence was still a bit iffy at times but much more consistent. I lost count this year the amount of times I said great tough run Campbell or what a step for a try or what a tackle that was crucial...... Unfortunately towards end of year he was playing injured for about a month hence his form went down and then he couldn’t play in the prelim a real shame and boy did we miss him in the prelim. For this season I rate him a 7.5/10.
Gagai: Easily his best year with us by far he started off well on the wing and his carries out of our end didn’t go unnoticed he was a workhorse getting down and dirty and in defence he improved too and made some trysavers and took a few intercepts. He also found his way to the try line more. Then due to injuries he had to move back to centre and he lifted there as well with high energy and his work rate didn’t go down and he still scores tries. His kick chase was on song and consistently he’d be down there to make the tackle in the corner just after the opposition player took the bomb. He did have a few games at centre though where he got found out in defence with arm grabbing. For this season I rate him a 7/10.
Allan: Well we didn’t need him til Latrell down and Allan came in and didn’t disappoint. He took a couple of games to find his feet but once he did wow. He was solid and direct on kick returns and his ball playing was very good as was his support play , he also made good metres and did some shit work and found his way to the try line and if he wasn’t doing that he was creating try assists. What let him down was his positional play and he had some errors in him. Was a good back end of season from him though. I rate him a 6.25/10.
Paulo: Well he was pretty good for us in his first season of first grade, when injuries hit quite early in the season he came in and did a job. Strengths in his game were he as busy on kick returns and getting through tough yards coming out of trouble. He also scored some good tries as well. Things he needs to work on are his defence as he was found out in this department quite a bit and in some games it let us down where he rushed in where there was no need too. At other times after making a good run instead of coming in field he’d go over the sideline and kill the momentum. I guess these are things most young players need to work on as well as his first up contact. For this season I rate him a 5.5/10.
Marsters: Well it was great seeing him score in his debut game, he has some size about him that’s for sure and there is talent there which we all saw. Things he needs to work on are his fitness including his body shape as he’s carrying too much weight, also his defence as seen in NSW needs work his reads are all over the place, also his discipline needs to improve stopping the silly penalties as well as showing some urgency and commitment in defence. Also doesn’t do enough work coming out of trouble for mine, his workrate must lift. I rate him a 3.5/10.
