Do we have to?

[milkshake]

Can we give negative points?

[sparky]

None of the forwards that’s for sure.

[ARHS]

Only 2 contenders today. Telea and Cam

Third vote hard, I guess Will Jordan didn’t do much wrong.

@sparky

Jordan was ok made a couple of try savings tackles, made some ground on the run.

[mariner4life]

Telea easy
Whitelock was a standout when we were under the pump, and won a defensive lineout
Jordan was a constant threat

Honourable mention to roigard who scored a try, ran with purpose, cleared well, and put in the biggest AB kick in years

[mariner4life]

Astounded Ardie is getting votes. Ineffective in the tackle, no run impact, nothing at the ruck.

[Nepia]

Roigard, Telea, Rieko (got the didn't make as many stuff ups as other players award).

Yeah his poorest performance for some time. In fact the whole back row had a night to forget.

[kidcalder]

I feel we missed Frizzell - no dominant tackles the boks knew they would make ground everytime.
If no Frizzell we need a beast at 6 and LJ isn't that (he didn't get much of a run admittedly) he is more a workhouse than a cruncher, Finau could be that guy but needs tests v the best.

The standard he sets for himself and on which he delivers most matches is the reason he is always mentioned as ‘best in position’ ‘first on the team sheet’ etc

He didn’t meet those lofty standards last night but was still head and shoulders above the rest

Did a lot of the dirty work that gets unseen
