Ranking our list

[snaps truly]

You're a nice person snaps, you did a extra two rankins after 35 just so you could fit JON in. :hihi

Didn't want him to feel left out DD !

OK my ranking is as follows based on what I think of four attributes.

Nice work Djevv, lots of work has gone into that. Your obviously a big fan of Vickery’s and not a big fan of Titch

I haven't seen a lot of Vickery so Im really rating him on one game, thought he was athletic and smart for an 18yo >200cm. I thought for a first game for a ruck size junior it was pretty good!

For some players (like Richo) the whole seems to be greater than the sum of the parts - probably Simmo as well. Perhaps Edwards is in that category too.

Why are so many people rating Simmonds so high ? I think he would be in the lwr half of our top 10.Doesn't anyone notice the way he misjudges centre bounces ? If your a ruckman & your main fault is centre bounces i fail to see how he is our most important player

He is rated so high to the RFC because we don't have any other proven or promising young ruckmen ready to go in 2009. If he goes down we be crossing our fingers our youngsters will manage to come close to breaking even.

33 Hughes, Cleve 3 4 3 1 11
34 Edwards, Shane 3 2 4 2 11
35 Graham, Angus 2 2 3 3 10

I havent rated player I have seen little of. Please excuse the formatting.

Gee, I hope Patto, Hughes, Edwards & Graham don't read Djevv's post. They'd be shattered.
I personally would rate JON poor in all areas as 1 (poor). He is scrawny, hesitates, makes wrong decisions, turns it over constantly. He is athletically capable but he doesn't use it so another poor in that field.

No, simply put, if Simmo goes down we are stuffed.
