1. Hunt 8/10: Superb job, didnt make a mistake, made alot of metres on the kick returns.
2. Tate 5/10: Decent game, made a few mistakes and got caught out defensively at times.
3. Bell 4/10: Really went missing, didnt get involved enough, looked slow out there.
4. Hodges 5.5/10: Wasnt his best game, made some decent metres in attack,
5. Inglis 9/10: Great finishing, broke tackle, made metres, overall very good.
6. Lockyer 6/10: Pretty poor performance by his standards, wouldnt surprise me if he is about 80%, missed some tackles.
7. Thurston 7.5/10: Slow first half, great kicking game, controlled well with Lockyer missing.
8. Petro 7/10: Typical workman like game from the big fella, made metres and did what was neeeded.
9. Smith 8/10: Great game, tackled well and dominated from dummy half, outplayed Buderus easily.
10. Price 9.5/10: What can be said about the guy? Easily the best prop in the game.
11. Carrol 6.5/10: Did his job, made some metres, solid effort.
12. Myles 4.5/10: Was meh, like his whole season, shouldnt be there.
13. Johnson 9/10: Outstanding in defense, but what do you expect.

14. Berrigan 6.5/10: Had decent impact and was strong in defense, if QLD had lost theres no doubt in my mind he loses his spot to Bowen.
15. Lillyman 6.5/10: Was good with limited time, a great future prospect.
16. Costigan 7.5/10: Impressive debut, made some nice hits and ran the ball hard.
18. Kafusi -/10: Unfortunately his debut got cut short, he will be back tho and will be a regular when petro and price retire.

Spot on, no arguments. I would have given Carroll a 7.5 though, apart from that no drams! And you were very kind to Bell!

[Eddie.]

Inglis made a couple of errors but is a proven classy finisher.

Price was simply inspirational. 10/10 for him.

 

[Ghoulies]

You're a touch generous to Thurston there Charlie. If tonight was a 9 from him he must have pulled out half a dozen 10/10s through the course of the regular season so far.

[Big Pete]

1. Hunt 8/10: Safe as a bank at the back, made a lot of good runs that got QLD on the front foot, proved all the doubters wrong!
2. Tate 5.5/10: Decent game, didn't get a whole lot of oppurtunities but sound defensively and in attack.
3. Bell 4/10: Really went missing, didnt get involved enough, looked slow out there.
4. Hodges 5/10: Looked a bit slow out there Hodges, needs to get that knee operation ASAP.
5. Inglis 6.5/10: Mixed game from Inglis, some mistakes in attack and defense but scored 2 tries to his credit and is always a danger.
6. Lockyer 6/10: Poor in the first half and pretty poor defensive effort, his ankle looked to of troubled him from the get go.
7. Thurston 8.5/10 Great game! Lead the guys well and put in some decent kicks.
8. Petro 7/10: Typical workman like game from the big fella, made metres and did what was neeeded.
9. Smith 8/10: Great game, tackled well and dominated from dummy half, outplayed Buderus easily.
10. Price 9.5/10: What can be said about the guy? Easily the best prop in the game.
11. Carrol 7/10: Good attack and good defense got under the skin of a lot of NSWs players whch was needed.
12. Myles 5.5/10: Showed that he's Origin material, good runs and good defense.
13. Johnson 8/10: Superb in defense tonight! Set the tempo early with his crunching tackle on White!

14. Berrigan 5.5/10: Decent game from Berro who looked to of created some impact coming onto a role that I believe suits him and he should have for Australia.
15. Lillyman 5.5/10: Impressive made some good hits and some decent carries too, needs to keep developing but could be something special soon.
16. Costigan 6/10: Impressive again, the good Costigan came out tonight. Strong carries and some strong hits. The only poor aspect of his game tonight was his poor decoy running.
18. Kafusi 5.5/10: Before his debut was cut short looked decent out there, nice little offloads and runs. Could be a future player.

well you gave him an 8 and big pete gave him an 8.5. 9 isnt such a stretch considering the heat and pressure of Origin.

 

[McCrud]

I thought Costigan was outstanding in his debut.

Was very aggressive in defence and attack.

Hunt has the No.1 sewn up for life IMO - he was fanatstic, I think smaller players like Slater or Bowen could have dropped the pill or simply been 'bashed up' if they were placed in similar situations.

 

[Coaster]

I personaly think Myles and Lillyman and Costigan played well above what you guys are given them.

I thought at 30 minutes into the first half the best players for Qld were the 3 mentioned

 

[nqboy]

Hunt 8.5 8 Minichiello
Tate 6.5 6 Hayne
Bell 6 6 Lyon
Hodges 6.5 6 Cooper
Inglis 7.5 6 King
Lockyer 7 6.5 Anasta
Thurston 8 6 Mullen
Price 9 5 White
Smith 8 6.5 Buderus
Civ 8 6 Kite
Carroll 7 6.5 Mason
Myles 6.5 6 Hindmarsh
Johnson 8 6 Ryan

Berrigan 6.5 5.5 Kidley
Lillyman 6 6 Tupou
Kaufusi 5 6 Simpson
Costigan 6.5 6.5 Bailey

QLD 120.5 104.5 NSW

The ref kept it close.

 

[The Original Eye]

1. Hunt - Thought Slater was the go, but Hunt played well.
2. Tate - Trys hard.
3. Hodges - Overrated
4. Bell - Slow & Solid.
5. Inglis - Athletic , positionless.
6. Lockyer - Classy.
7. Thurston - Kicked NSW asleep.
8. Civo - Good engine, soft
9. Smith - Very good
10. Price - Good engine , soft.
11. Myles - Average.
12. Carroll - Good job he can tackle.
13. Johnston - Good job he can tackle.

14. Berrigan - A bit thick.
15. Lillyman - No Bob Lindner.
16. Costigan - Plenty of potential
17. The Tongan - Garbage.

As for NSW, I thought Anasta was their most dangerous player, while Mullen was crap.

The forwards had zero aggression - what does A Ryan do exactly ?

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

How is Kaufusi garbage?

 

[bronco_buddy]

Whats with all the low scores for Petro?

That was one of the best front row performances of all time!!!!

When was the last time Petro ran at a halfback? ala poffta bailey???

 

[Hallatia]

Price is a legend and I loved how he said that his focus is the Warriors now, that guy deserves to be immortalised in origin and rugby league folklore

 

[JJ]

Price should have been MoM.

The guy is the total package on and off the field - absolute champion.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Inglis probably a 5 or 6 imo. Thus far in his Origin career, while he's scored a few easy tries, his hands have been worse than Manu Vatuvei's.

 

[lockyno1]

No-one is worse than Vatuvei. IMO what did Inglis do wrong..not his fault Steve Bell had a shocker!

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

No-one is worse than Vatuvei. IMO what did Inglis do wrong..not his fault Steve Bell had a shocker!

At least 2 unforced knock-ons come to mind, same as his 2 try debut. Vatuvei is usually only good for 1 a game

 

[CharlieF]

No-one is worse than Vatuvei. IMO what did Inglis do wrong..not his fault Steve Bell had a shocker!

Whats Steve Bell go to do with Inglisses hands??

 

[lockyno1]

Steve Bell was inside him..and he was f**king crap to say the least!
