Villa's gone okay.
But you can add Monty and Toopi to that list. Possibly Francis Meli. Tevita Latu is another one who went completely off the boil.
You're right though, anyone who is dragging Simon Mannering down is beyond contempt. Deadset, what is he, 18-19? He's played his entire career at centre/backrow, and Tony Kemp shoves him out as a makeshift winger against the red hot Eels.
He got caught out badly on several occaisions, it was a very poor performance, and one you'd seriously drag the one fella over the coals for -.... if he was, or pretended to be a winger. Winger is a very difficult position to defend at, you're the last man along the chain, and worst, a lot of the time positionally you're only as good as the bloke inside you allows you to be, and even on that night, Jerome Ropati was no saint.
His other appearances at centre have been very solid. Good defender technically, on his NRL debut came on and cemented a game for the Warriors - all be it against the Broncos who at that stage were on fire. First touch set up a try, two/three minutes later stopped a promising movement by putting Hodges over the sideline.
... Back to the topic at hand, worst players for mine are Clinton Toopi, Epalahame Lauaki and Ben Czislowksi.
