1 - Wellens 8/10. Very good
2 - Makinson 7/10. Very solid Leeds got no change out of him
3 - Meli 10/10. World class centre. Yup world class. Had he played centre all his career, he'd be an all time great now
4 - Shenton 8/10. So willing to work and get involved. Feels like he's been a Saint forever
5 - Foster 9/10. I'm in love
6 - Gaskell 10/10. Take a bow son
7 - Lomax 9/10. Fantabulous
8 - Graham 8/10. Lazy, disinterested, argumentative as ever
9 - Roby 8/10. Man of Steel. We're gonna miss him for the next 8 weeks
10 - LMS 7/10. Very good
11 - Wilkin 9/10. I would have his children
12 - Soliola 9/10. Best game in the v. Superb tonight

15 - Dixon 6/10. Head the other side next time
16 - Maggennis 7/10 Solid

Wello 7/10 did ok.
Makinson 7/10 solid game and Leeds tried it on in first half with him.
Shenton 7/10 looked for work as ever but still not had enough good ball.
Meli 8/10 showed how good of a centre he can be.
Foster 7/10 cool calm points machine.
Gaskell 8/10 does the simple things so well and top kicking game.
Lomax 8/10 works so well with Gaskell and such a threat with the ball.
Graham 6/10 not the best but don't have to many bad games so can't knock him.
Roby 8/10 worldclass
LMS 8/10 I thought the first half was his best in saints shirt.
Wilkin 9/10 he was my man of the match. Passion and worked his ass off.
Sia 9/10 best game in saints shirt.
TP 7/10 did well on his first game back in such heat.

Moore 7/10 good to see him back. Aggressive as ever.
Dixon 6/10 ok
Magennis 6/10 some good runs
Eastmond - not on long enough.

Wello 6/10 For the first time tonight I could see the case for a replacement, Some good moments, but sometimes he was nowhere near the kicks to give any return.
Makinson 6/10 Solid and only a handful of games so far but would need to show more to displace Gardner.
Shenton 7/10 Very solid defender, still not seen the best of him in attack.
Meli 10/10 Ok may seam over the top, but devastating in attack and no glaring whoopsies today, this guy is my marmite I love him and hate him, he'd be in my squad every week and dropped every week.
Foster 8/10 A winger who can really run the touch line, solid in defence and returns kicks well, can't fault him.
Gaskell 9/10 I'm biased I'm a huge fan of his kicking game, I also think he has a little quickness about him, does not look it because of the long legs but he seams to cross the ground pretty fast, was there in defence when we needed him.
Lomax 8/10 Got MOM, looked good in D and ball in hand, has good upper body, but I think he has even more to come.
Graham 6/10 Solid and dependable.
Roby 9/10 got bonus points for the bravery, but had to knock 1 off for the duff pass.
LMS 7/10 looks solid in every aspect, runs hard always looked like he could bust through a tackle, just never did.
Wilkin 9/10 Played very well, involved through out even from the 2nd row.
Sia 8/10 big hitter, good go forward, and held the line better tonight although did miss one tonight, there was no ill effect from the miss.
TP 6/10 Trundled it up ok, and tackled like a trooper, I've seen him better though hence the score.

Moore 7/10 Had a few mad moments holding the players down a bit ,but great in the tackle.
Dixon 5/10 I was a fan last year, but not so sure any more
Magennis 5/10 Played a role but like dixon did not stand out for me.
Eastmond - 3/10 What did bailey say to him, looked like a comedy fight was on the cards.

How can you give Kyle 4? If you are starting everyone at 0 when they start playing it's okay, but on a normal scale it would suggest he's played badly. He got stuck in during the 8 minutes he was given.

Re: Player ratings : Sat Jun 04, 2011 12:41 am  

Well my scale is different, he did not have a chance to do much, he hardly touched the ball, and gets a 4 from me. I don't start with everyone on 5's . A 5 would be a solid game for someone, Eastmond did not have the chance to show a solid game. Besides I can score however I like. Just for that I'll knock him down to a 3.

Re: Player ratings : Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:08 am  

I think Wello is right off form at the moment. His positioning has gone west, he has fumbled a few balls of late, he just doesn't look himself. It's a shame, as apart from anything else we need him to be firing like he was doing prior to his injury. I hope he finds his form again.

Ooooooooooooooooh..........

Re: Player ratings : Sat Jun 04, 2011 9:59 am  

Wellens was brilliant tonight, positioning was good, and the way he creates overlaps by joining into the attacking line, created at least 3 tries last night!!!!

WELLENS - BEST FULL BACK IN THE WORLD!!!!

Thought Wello did OK, don,t recall any fumbles or bad positioning last night especially in offence could have had 2 try's instead of one.
Noticed Royce is trying to do cross over plays with Wello and the wingers but I think they are playing safe and doing it with minimum risk.
