Yes we have had a terrible year with injuries(but that's another thread)…I thought I'd share my thoughts on which players has taken their game to another level this year and which players have remained static or gone backwards.
Tedesco - is having a steady year...He has proven he's NRL standard and is getting better the more games he plays.
Nofo - definitely NRL standard and has exceed all expectations.
Ayshford - has neither improved or gone backwards...In my view will battle to hold his spot in 2014.
Lawrence - last two games has been his best all year...I can see him continuing to improve and whilst he may not recapture his 2010-11 form he will hold his spot.
Simona - definitely NRL standard and has exceed all expectations.
Marshall - gone backwards...and try to play a more controlled, mistake free game. His last 2 games have been steady,
Sirronen - definitely NRL standard and has met expectations. A future backrow star
Woods - taken his game to another level in career best form.
Farah - In career best form.
Blair - steady...still not showing his true worth but has improved considerably since moving to the front row.
Buchanen - Has exceeded expectations.
Sue - Has exceeded expectations. Would like to see him be our permanent no.13
Ava - has exceeded expectations. Will only improve the more he plays NRL.
Pettyborne - has not met expectations.
Thompson - has not met expectations.
Anasta - Has not really met expectations...still dont think we need him
Koro - has not really kicked on. But will improve the more he plays....
BMM - has not kicked on this year...gone backwards IMO....
Reddy - has taken his game to another level this year.

I haven't covered everyone...but IMO most of our players are playing better than I expected them to perform...despite our low position on the ladder...I think Potter has done an outstanding job given the circumstances.
