Took a point off Cudjoe for making a mistake in 2 of the Aus tries.

Mossop - 5

Ablett - 5
Widdop - 4

From the Australians, I thought Morris, Boyd, Cronk, Scott, Smith, Tamou, Fifita, Lewis & Parker were all only 5/6 out of 10, very ordinary. The difference today was simply down to Thurston & Slater.

Thought Tomkins looked ineffective and would only give him a 7, Hill very good for a debut would give him a 7.

Tomkins was a constant threat IMO, and the Australians always had to make sure he was covered. He also put in a huge shift.

Whilst Hill did little wrong, he looked totally outclassed and didn't offer anything but simple (and easy to defend) drives in, and fairly solid defence. Perhaps I'm unfairly comparing him with the impact that Graham would have had.

I thought Hill played pretty well.

I thought Hill was superb with George Burgess at the beginning of the game, then when Tom Burgess came on and made 2 errors we seemed to lose it a bit. However it's unfair blaming the shift in the game on him.

I assume rating Tom Burgess's performance higher than Roby's is a typing error?

Tomkins - Ineffective = 7
Hill - Very good = 7

That's some St Helens logic right there.

You either don,t play any golf or you think Hill is a world cup full back.
