My End of Season Player Ratings

[Thirteen]

Are you trying to bring me out of retirement? I will consider giving the true player rating ..lol.This is bullshit

Give us what you got old man.

Tedesco was the player of the year closely followed by Walker , Watson , Crichton and Toops

You need players ratings to be 7 and above - some of the interchange players may not achieve that rating because of limited minutes they may play i.e Sandon Smith

Collins , Manu and Lenui's form dropped off during the mid to latter part of the season for reasons unknown - sure Manu had the hand injury but he went from best centre to back in the pack.- Needed more from Collins and Leniu both SOO players. Brandon Smith needs to be fitter to play the required minutes expected of a dummy half - if seen as an impact player then dummy half is not his role.

Be interesting to see how Whyte and Wong go in 2025 especially with starting 13 spots in the pack up for grabs - Whyte started strong but faded and Wong never really got going although his NSW Cup running metres and minutes played were outstanding when playing mostly prop.

• Tedesco - 9
• Toops - 8
• Suaalii - 7
• Pauga - 6
• Manu - 6
• Young - 7
• Keary - 7
• Walker - 8
• Collins - 6
• Brandon Smith - 5
• JWH - 7
• Leniu - 6
• Crichton - 8
• Nat Butcher - 7
• Radley -7
• Watson - 8
• May - 7
• Whtye -6
• Wong - 5
• Sandon Smith - 6
• Sitili - 6

I’d have Radley at 8.5 and Young at 8 because his speed makes up for his mistakes.

I think the Top 3 for 2024 were (in order)

1. James Tedesco
2. Sam Walker
3. Angus Crichton

• I love what Terrell May brings, he has a high-quality offload, is superb in defence and just brings something different to the team than most forwards
• I think Wong has to be in FG next year he looked good in his limited FG appearances and he is so much better than someone like Nat Butcher
• I think Nafahu Whyte has real potential to really kick on and be great, I just wish Robbo would stick with him and Wong like he does with Butcher etc. (otherwise we'll lose them and regret it)
• Rads has really matured this year with his leadership and discipline, he is no longer a loose cannon and I think would be a great co-captain with Teddy

Most disappointing in 2024

1. Luke Keary - I love everything he has done for our club, and he is a solid gold human being, but he was for the most part terrible this year (played like he is preparing us for the arrival of The Chad in 2025)
2. Nat Butcher - He tries hard and seems like a great bloke, but he really doesn't offer us much and strikes ZERO fear into opposition teams
3. Joey Manu - Again I love Joey as a player and a person. But talk about going from the Golden Boot to a Lead slipper. He looked uninterested for most of the year and when he did have a go was too individual, going for the highlight reel play.
4. Lindsay Collins - I have a lot on man love for Lindsay, but this year he looked like he wouldn't pull the skin off a custard with his runs. He is a quality player and I hope he just struggled a bit juggling footy and fatherhood and fires back in 2025.

Top 3
3. teddy (may get another Jack Gibson medal)
2. Angus - great comeback just slipped in the last month
1. Watson
special mention - walker as the 4th best
I loved the wings getting over 40 tries, young has some heart racing moments but his pace and try scoring ability is awesome to see
great to see rads back playing consistently

dissapointing
Manu - just wasn’t there this season
suaali - until the last month
Keary
Nat butch
