James Tedesco (Fullback) Wests fans will be in a sombre mood tonight. 214 run metres and a try assist: 7.5/10
Daniel Tupou (Wing) Has returned to the form which saw him represent Australia and New South Wales. Scored an early try: 7.5/10
Latrell Mitchell (Centre) The Greg Inglis comparisons won’t stop anytime soon, especially now that he’s earned a premiership ring: 7.5/10
Joseph Manu (Centre) Recorded five tackle breaks and was solid in defence: 6.5/10
Blake Ferguson (Wing) Gave his all in his final match for the club with an astonishing 21 hitups: 7/10
Luke Keary (Five-Eighth) Man of the match and rightfully so. Took on full responsibility of the side with Cooper Cronk playing busted: 9/10
Cooper Cronk (Halfback) Despite playing with one arm, Cronk’s leadership and big game experience was invaluable for the Roosters: 6/10
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (Prop) Put the Roosters on the front foot from the very beginning of the contest: 8/10
Jake Friend (Hooker) Almost as influential to the outcome of the contest as Luke Keary was: 8.5/10
Siosiua Taukeiaho (Prop) Dominated the Melbourne Storms middle third early on in the contest with some strong carries: 7.5/10
Boyd Cordner (Second Row) A typical Boyd Cordner performance. Will be one of the first names selected on the teamlist for the Australian Kangaroos in the coming weeks: 8/10
Mitchell Aubusson (Second Row) Wasn’t spectacular but did his job, which pretty much sums up Mitch Aubusson: 6.5/10
Victor Radley (Lock) As strong in defence and attack as he was throughout the entirety of the 2018 season. Fortunate to win a premiership in his first full season of first grade: 7.5/10
Isaac Liu (Interchange) Had the more game time than any other man on the interchange bench. Ran hard and tackled hard, something Isaac Liu has become known for. A no-frills player: 6.5/10
Dylan Napa (Interchange) Say what you will about Dylan Napa but he now owns the moniker of premiership winning front rower, having already represented his state and country: 5.5/10
Zane Tetavano (Interchange) Being thrown a life-line from Easts last season, Tetavano has proved his worth. Didn’t let his side down tonight: 6/10
Ryan Matterson (Interchange) As was the case with the remaining Roosters contingent who came off the bench – Matterson did his job – will be a great signing for the Tigers next year: 6.5/10
