Zak 7 good defence but not quite there in attack yet but good involvement for Farrell try. Davies 5 looking a shadow of the player of last year Gildart 7 very lively when he moved back to the left Sarginson 7 was having a great game until injury Marshall 6 played ok but no real running chances Williams 8 some nice kicks but too many of them and not varied enough Leulaui 7 improved from last week, offered a bit more in attack if not spectacular Flower 7 put in 2 decent shifts, good work for his try Powell 7 worked hard but still not offering enough in attack Clubb 7 did his job Farrell 7 very lively but still looks awkward on the right Greenwood 7 looked threatening, did ok O'loughlin 9 Looks so much fitter this year and looked a class above everybody else, controlled everything when on the field.
Bullock 7 Same as last week some big runs initially but faded Hamlin 7 very lively, did ok but needs to be a bit more composed at times Isa 6 did ok to cover centre Navarette 6 not as effective as last year.
Overall we did enough to beat a poor Leeds side but we seem to be very slack in defence and look a bit scrappy in attack. Im not convinced yet but its early days. HUGE improvement needed for next week especially in defence otherwise it could be embarrassing if Roosters take it seriously.

I have to say I agree with every one of your ratings

I thought it was an average performance but good enough to beat a poor one from Leeds. They let us off the hook countless times and we got a big chunk of luck for the Flower try.
Difficult to see us getting past Sydney next week - I don't think we have the firepower. Hopefully we've kept a few tricks in our back pocket.
Defensively we’ve been worrying. I expect a change in attacking structure to lead to some teething issues but we look very loose in defence and a better side would’ve hurt us tonight.
I’d have had Williams and Greenwood as our best two tonight. Good to see Navarette improve also. We need more from a couple of senior lads like Leuluai and Clubb and Tom Davies needs to work on his basic handling as it’s turning in to a problem for him.

If Tony Clubb is a 7 then Farrell and Greenwood would be 11s and George a 12!
Never a starting prop and when he went off after 15 mins I predicted we wouldn't see him till last 10 (Think it was 9 actually) as if he came back on any sooner he'd need to go back off again. Must have missed 4/5 tackles in first 15 and was targeted by Leeds at the back of the ruck.
Apart from the early drop Davies did ok and nowhere near a 5.

Lockers a 9? Really?
I don't think anyone was outstanding but if Farrell gets a 7 then a lot of others get a 6 or less. I thought he had a better game then Greenwood for example and I don't think Powell deserves the same rating as either of them just for effort. I think your ratings are a bit too uniform. I am not saying anyone deserves higher but I think some deserve lower.
I don't know how to rate outside back when they hardly got a descent pass all night.

I thought Davies was poor. Although both wingers got no service.
And Clubb did a good job pressuring the halves from marker.
