Player ratings 24

[Munky]

The 2024 Panthers do not need mere numerical ratings.

2024 was about gears and they should be evaluated accordingly.

Edwards - Only knew top gear before getting injured in Origin 3. Gradually shifted back to it game by game leading into the grand final.

Turuva - The cogs were rusty all year before meshing late.

Alamoti - Ratios were all wrong at the Dogs. Transmission was purring by the finals.

Tago - Stuck in reverse until the finals. Must have discovered that clutch pedals are real after doing some research online.

To'o - Transmission looking a little worn this season. Still did a job before a cog took some damage in the GF.

Luai - Either lowest or highest gear during the season. Thankfully mostly in the highest.

Cleary - High performance low durability transmission. Was serviced and ready to go when it mattered.

Leota - Only wants to change out of first on the final straight.

Kenny - Changes were less slick than expected given improvement in 2023. Clunky but the cogs were always spinning.

JFH - Had just enough grip on the teeth before being tranferred to a lower performance vehicle.

Martin - see Leota

Sorro - making horrible noises and sounds like the transmission is about to fall out. Still made it to the destination.

Yeo - Is direct drive and doesn't need gears. Power is consistent and available at all times. Has both economy and performance modes that can switch at any time.

Schneider - knows everything there is to know about the inner workings of transmissions. Doen't know how to drive though.

Garner - Added new gears this season.

Smith - Like a 90s Corolla five speed. Gets the job done.

Henry - On his Ls, grinding the gears all season.

Yeo's is wrong, his is a gearbox that used on most jet airplanes and submarines, no grinding, just sitting in god mode on autopilot

I enjoyed the post Girds and agree with most of your ratings, but what's with calling him Alamonti?

Just a typo mate. I post off my phone so often theres a few spellings/grammatical errors etc.

Im not going to do them in depth all but just mention a few.


Yeo - 9.9 - as close to a perfect season as you will see from a player.
Luai - 9 - Given the circumstances he stepped up wonderfully and then slotted back into his usual role for the finals with Nathan back.
Dyl 9 - He has been a 9 for at least the last 3 years.


Lindsay - 8 - Kicked on after a rock solid rookie year.
Henry - 8 - Rock solid rookie year
Fish and Leota - 7 - each of them were below their best for most of the year. Showed up when it counted though.
Bizza - 7.5 - was quiet for parts of the year when compared to his best. Showed up with his best in the finals.
Kenny - 8 - possibly controversial to some but besides 1 or 2 games where he couldnt pass threw a barn door he was a rock.

Basically everyone else 7 besides tago and turuva who ive got at 5 and 6 respectively.

Nathan when he played was 8 or better but didnt play enough. Garner also was probably an 8 across the games he played but missed a lot.

 

[Panther Pete]

Yeo - 10!!!
Every other player - 9.5 because they all played out of their skin when it mattered to win us 4 comps in a row!

And if they can do the same thing next year some of them will need to work out if they can fit a ring on their thumb.
