OK... time to decide which 3 of todays team were you men of the match. Tough one I grant you given the result today but lets have a go.

Same as last week, most votes get 3pts, 2nd gets 2pts and 3rd gets 1pt.

Heres mine for starters:

Langley
Scrutton
Orford

Given that its a Sunday game I will end voting on Wednesday at 12pm.

Only 3 players turned up today Scruton, Whitehead and Halley.

Orford was shocking.

Whitehead
Scruton
Hall

Scruton
Hall
Lynch

Scruton
Whitehead
Halley

If there had been a 4th place then Lynch also put in a fair stint. But utterly abysmal display.

Hall
Scruton
Whitehead

MOM = Halley
2nd = Scruton
3rd = Whitehead

Menzies also wasn't too bad, but the 3 I mention are the only ones really deserving of it IMO.

Scruton
Halley
Whitehead

Langley to some extent. But we just play one man rugby every time, its predictable. Saints were running in 3's and 4's, then offloading with ease.

Orford and the rest were awful. Our kicking game was shocking!!

Whitehead 3
Scruton 2
Hall 1

Very disapointing today. At least last week we could argue we were rusty. Today we were awful

1 - Scruton (easily)
2 - Whitehead
3 - harder...one from Halley, Lynch & Hall, although there were times when some others looked lively esp Beaver. Lets give a back a shout...Halley, by a whisker.

1 - Halley
2 - Scruton
3 - Beaver

Langley
Hall
Halley

Scruton
Whitehead
Kearney


Followed closely by Langley.


Lynch wasn't at his best by any means today.

I've gotta ask the question now. After this call and your one on another thread that Kearney is a better 6 than Pryce.

What are you basing this on?


Don't get me wrong, I'm all for giving him time to settle in and everything, but I really haven't seen anything yet to suggest the sort of praise you seem to aim his way and I genuinely was wondering why?

Halley
Whitehead
Scruton

Whitehead should be in the team in front of Worrincy every week. He did 10 times the work of a so called established first teamer.

His effort is why I put him third today, he was always chasing back, always getting back in the defensive line asap and you could tell by how he was playing that he wanted to win it.

I am backing Kearney to be a better 6 than Pryce from what I saw of him in the NRL in 2008 - even at full back-, although I do admit Pryce was much better today.

Can't fault Halleys effort today and I know the heavy ground doesn't help him, but has he beat a man on a kick return in the last two games? I might have missed it if he has.

He did indeed. I didn't see Worrincy make a carry for the first 15 minutes he was on.

Whitehead and Donno should both be in.
Anybody know why Donno wasnt?

Kearney isnt a six. Wont be long before Macca gets him to FB if Halley continues like he is.

Maybe McNamara is rotating between them?

Should be playing both and leaving the useless sack out. Saints' second try today was once again due to a large gap left by "Worrlord" flying out of the line.

While Worrincy obviously isn't the only one playing badly at the moment, he is quite obviously the worst of our forwards. How he still gets in the team is beyond me.

Possibly, but I hope not. Both have put better efforts in than Worrincy in 1 game compared to 2 and that would be rewarding MW mediocrity if he continues to do so.

Agree with both of you, the younger lads obvously have the passion and effort, put them on the pitch and they'll do a better job than that useless waste of space.

I don't understand why Worrincy doesn't make more metres when running the ball in, he's heavier than Hall ffs.

None of them - 3 points
Scruton - 2 points
Halley - 1 point

Reardon - sack him. What an utter lack of commitment.
