The Roar‘s DIY player ratings is back in force, this time for both the Wallabies and the All Blacks after a cracking encounter in Game 1 of the Bledisloe Cup.
Australia may have the Rugby Championship in its hands, but the Bledisloe Cup is still a victory at Eden Park away. As far as distances in rugby go, that’s a fair way.
But to the game, where the Wallabies and All Blacks smashed each other to little bits in the first half, rebuilt all the little bits at half time then managed to play some seriously attractive rugby in the second.
Roarers, it’s up to you guys. What did you make of the game? Who played well? Who was terrible. Your votes will be counted and tallied and released later in the week, in another post.
Today, you’ll be rating both sides, which is an exciting development in DIY player ratings – sure to go down in the history of our ratings system.
Now, the rules, for those who don’t know how DIY player ratings works around these parts.
Here’s how the game works:
1. Fill out the form below, giving a player a rating between 1 and 10.
1.5. Tell me why my process sucks, or why my haircut is bad in the comments section.
2. I collate the votes over the day.
3. Tomorrow, the results will be out, and you all get to see exactly how bad our ratings are, and can lambast me for it.
Fun for the whole family.
Due to popular demand, I’ve put together a brief description of what I think the ratings should reflect. Use it as a guide, rather than a set of rules I stand by rigorously.
1. Had he not played, the team would have been better off. Negatively affected the performance of the side. May God have mercy on his soul.
2. Anonymous. Was he even there?
3. Did some things that you expect a player to be able to do, but did a whole bunch of other things that sucked.
4. Was passable in patches, but not up to standard in a squad of such depth.
5. Performed his role without anything really noticeable happening.
6. Good
7. Pretty good, actually
8. Very good
9. Excellent
10. Might as well have been John Eales
Happy voting everyone!
