Tigers 3, 2, 1

[Captain Apollo]

3 points: Latrell Mitchell. Only ran the ball 7 times, but made nigh on 200 metres, had 2 try assists, scored 3 tries, kicked 7 goals and saved at least 2 tries with some great last ditch defence. Amazing display.

2 points: Daniel Tupou. Scored a nice try, but his 22 runs for 260 metres is just mind blowing.

1 point: James Tedesco. 20 runs for 235 metres gives him my last one, although I did consider Boyd Cordner. Just Teddy looked dangerous whenever he had the ball, and was comfortable fielding kicks to boot.

 

[Tommy Smith]

3. Latrell. One of the greatest individual Roosters performances ever. What a freak.
2. Tupou. In career best form. Solid as a rock and his kick returns have been brilliant.
1. Cordner. Could have been Teddy but I wanted to give a forward some love. His runs, and even the threat of him receiving the ball, gave the Tigers right edge nightmares and is partly responsible for giving Keary, Ted and Latrell the space they need to wreak havoc. Cords lines just constantly force the defence into making so many decisions and when they get it wrong it's good night.

 

[Valheru]

Same as Apollo

On Tupou, what has happened to him since 2017? He is back to his 2013 form and one of the best wingers in the comp.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

3. Trell
2. Cords
1. Toops
Great defensive effort by the boys yet two soft tries let in, otherwise a perfect night.

 

[Headless Chook]

3. Latrell. Thought he was just ok. Seriously, wow, what a night out he had. He was brilliant and for just 13 possessions all game, but they were all pure class.

2. Cordner

1. Toops
