Brisbane Broncos vs. Sydney Roosters Player Ratings

Player Ratings:

Corey Norman - 5 - Kept fairly quiet in attack however his defence is improving from week to week.

Antonio Winterstein - 4.5 - Not enough delivery to have an impact. Caught out of position twice in defence but ran hard and closed the gap each time.

Alex Glenn - 5.5 - Did what he could in attack and defended well.

Ben Te'o - 5.5 - Hard running in attack and for a player defending out of his normal position, held the line very well.

Mitch Rivett - 5.5 - Solid debut, like the rest of the outside backs he didn't get enough ball to be effective in attack. Made a few rookie mistakes but showed enough positive signs for the future.

Darren Lockyer - 5 - Quiet game from Locky. Fifth tackle options were poor and it looks like he's rushing the game. Probably feeling pressure fielding such a young side. Quality kicks in the last 20 mins reminded us of what he can do.

Peter Wallace - 6 - Quiet game as well however his defence was what we have come to expect from our number 7.

Scott Anderson - 6.5 - Good game from the prop, defended well and ran hard when he was on the field.

Andrew McCullough - 5.5 - Will be remembered for some awful handling errors in the first half. To his credit he came back in the second half to score our only points - quite a good dart from dummy half.

Nick Kenny - 6.5 - Another solid game from Nick, ran hard and defended hard.

Ashton Sims - 6 - Quiet game from Sims, possibly needed some more game time I felt as we needed experienced heads on the field.

Sam Thaiday - 7.5 - Man of the Match for the Broncos. Busted his gut in work rate and had no luck whatsoever. Might be playing himself into a starting QLD jersey.

Matt Gillett - 7 - Worked hard and continues to impress with his footwork and gusto in attack.

Gerard Beale - 4 - Came off the bench and did nothing.

Lagi Setu - 4 - Brain explosions from Setu were awful to say the least. Needs to be reminded that if you break the line to make a hit, you NEED to actually put a hit on. Redeemed himself slightly with hard running in second half.

Ben Hunt - 5 - Brought off the bench to play as Hooker and did quite well. Error free game and also provides an additional attacking option.

Josh McGuire - 6.5 - Great game from the young forward. Got himself involved and was fairly dangerous in attacking runs.
