The results are in for the Wallabies player ratings entered in by Roarers over the last 24 hours.
Thankfully, you all answered with your feet the question of whether to release them on Tuesday or Wednesday, with around 1000 responses in a day. Very good Roarers… Very good indeed.
I’ll put two sets of ratings in there – one for the mean of all the votes tallied together, and one for the mode, which is the most voted for option of each player. I’ve rounded the mean vote to one decimal place
It’ll give you the best idea of how everyone rated each player’s performance.
Of course, there were a few people who decided to dish out 1s and 2s where they perhaps weren’t warranted, but mostly sanity prevailed. Good stuff all round.

Comparing this data brings out some interesting results. Some players, when you take the mode, are really pulled up, where some are pulled down.
A lot of people gave Quade Cooper 1s and 2s, meaning that the mode score for him isn’t as bad as his average score.
There’s a similar story to Will Genia and Michael Hooper, the latter of whom most thought had an excellent game (8 was his most selected option) but he had ten scores of 1, which brings his mean down.
David Pocock and Tevita Kuridrani were the opposite, with many giving them perfect 10s, but their mode score was an 8 and a 7 respectively.
Anyway, interesting figures! What do you reckon Roarers? Keep this going throughout the season?
