3- Lolohea (3 try assists where he did most of the work, caught everything that was kicked to him, mad a ton of metres. Clear winner today
2- Luke (the talk this week seems to have cleared the air with him. Back to his best
1- RTS (showed his class)

No minus scores today, even Robson earned his keep with his defence and hitting some holes though Lolohea's performance has to be asking questions about him.

Hard to argue with that list, however I think Robson is quite a liability. He's good for one or two bad dropped balls a game, and is very slow and leaves holes in defence.

My take:

3. Lolo - just brilliant in every way today. A true game winning player.
2. Mutts & Lilly - we needed strength up the middle and they gave it
1. RTS - showed up against his old squad

Big honourable mentions to: Luke & Kata

So happy to see Luke looking the goods now.

3 Matulino. Did he play the whole game?Think so. Always rules.
2 Luke. Best game for Warriors
1 Johnson. Getting some confidence back and did score two tries and some goals

everyone played well against a good team who were desperate, except Robson, a reserve grader if ever I've seen one. Come on down T Leulauai

I feel bad bagging Robson (except when he drops the ball) because tries his guts out, tackles well and seems to have a decent footy brain... he just doesn't have the talent to cut it properly.

A lot like the guy he replaced, who is going pretty well at the sharks.

3- Lolohea
2- Lillyman
1- Matulino

hon mentions- Kata, RTS, Luke

EDIT- thought about it over night. Matulino is my favourite player and for that reason I am often reluctant to give him points for doing what he does. In saying that, what he did yesterday deserved points.

I don't think RTS can get anywhere near points for MOTM with his shocking defence in Orbison's try.

3. Tui
2. Mutts
3. Luke

This for me.

Lillyman close...wish he had just a bit more poke his nose through ability. That angle in run and pop ball into the empty space for Johnson wrap was pretty damn classy!

Robson lol...poor fella he does try so hard but is so limited, particularly with plod speed and basic dropsies.

Kata good again. He is a demon at the burrow over try and his defence has come on leaps and bounds.

RTS, great on the run and some excellent distribution today which is a real positive, but yep his defense is just all over the place. Pretty concerning considering that full back tackles are usually try savers.

Roosters were rotten. But these last two games are seeing us gel better on attack and forwards going well...if we can finish our sets better and cut out the silly errors things can go onward and upward. Still look the dumbest team in the NRL though. Two perfect positioning sets for dropgoal winners and me make a dogs breakfast of it - luke taking the tackle meaning Vete? passing to Johnson? wtf was that lol

3. RTS - Key to us dominating the edges, particularly the (defensively) terrible Ferguson. His passing game was sublime.
2. Lolohea - Great game, no mistakes, only RTS edged him.
1. Luke - The more he runs, the better we play. Simple as that.


edit: hon mentions; lots of people, lillyman, johnson, kata, hoffman, matulino (as always), gubb etc etc... just not robson. when's leuluai back, or can we get some hingano up in hurr??

And who left for completely non-football related family reasons that the Warriors had nothing to do with, so no point in worrying about that, is there.
Wow, there has been some revisionism over the abilities of Townsend since he left.
