The Wallabies have got a win on the board for the first time in 2019, defeating Argentina in a scrappy affair 16-10 last night at Suncorp Stadium.
The Aussies were a long way from playing perfect rugby, but at the same time, one can hardly argue the scoreline wasn’t a significant improvement over last week’s debacle against the Springboks.
How much improvement did the Australians really make? Perhaps the best way to answer that question is to look closer at the individual performances.
And so we’re opening up our DIY Player Ratings to you, Roarers. Have a vote and let us know what you thought of each player’s performance.
If you’ve not done our DIY player ratings before, it’s a simple enough process. Hit up the form below and rate each player from 1 to 10 based on their performance. We’ll keep track of the results and publish our findings tomorrow.
You’re free to rate players as you like with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest – or toss an NA on any player not worth rating – but if you’re looking for a bit more detail than that, our handy little guide might help you make your judgments…
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.

the first test against the boks is the first time in a long time (years) that roar did not offer the forum members a vote on player performances. Instead they provided the immensely inflated ratings by Tom English

You assume this isn't how they assess the players? For lack of any other evidence I assume that this is exactly how they will assess the weekend's game

Great concept, the DIY system. Taking an "average" of all the Roarers ensures some sort of objectivity as opposed to one punters opinion. I suppose it would be interesting to be privy to Wallaby coaching staffs' ratings but that'll never happen !
