Player Ratings: Eels vs Bulldogs

Jarryd Hayne: 8Wasn't dominant and won't be happy with the Josh Morris try but set up one try and was always a handfull for the DogsLuke Burt: 7.5Nice wingers game, bar for the one time he came off his wing and probably cost us a try. Was put away a number of times down the flank and always produced the right play when confronted with cover defenceKrisnan Inu: 8Was dynamic in his return. Made big metres and the Bulldogs constantly struggled to bring him to groundJoel Reddy: 6.5The opportunities didn't come his way, but did a great job defending against Josh MorrisEric Grothe: 717 valuable hit ups always helped us to get out of troubleDaniel Mortimer: 7Gutsy performance. Was always there abouts in support and was rewarded with the final tryJeff Robson: 8His best game in the NRL. Really took control and led the side around the park impressively. If only he had another yard of pace.Nathan Cayless: n/aDidn't get enough game time to fairly receive a ratingMatt Keating: 6.5His usual slick work out of dummy half, but has gone on reportFuifui Moimoi: 9Engaged in brutal trench warfare with the Bulldogs pack and came out the other side the victor making nearly 200 metres from 200 hitupsNathan Hindmarsh: 8.5Tackle on Michael Ennis was one of those typical game-saving tackles that we now take for granted from Hindy. The man is a legendBen Smith: 8.5As good a defensive performance as I've seen for a long time. On any number of occasions he came up with big tackles that stopped the Bulldogs defence and prevented them from getting their trademark role on. Did plenty of running and some good offloads as well.Todd Lowrie: 6.5Didn't have quite the same impact as in recent games but produced a solid, dependable performanceKevin Kingston: 7I thought he really lifted the tempo in the second half, making a number of good darts from dummy half and can take a lot of credit for our fine performance in the second halfFeleti Mateo: 7.5Constantly threatened the Dogs and added an extra dimension to our attack when he came onto the fieldTim Mannah: 7.5Really stepped up with Captain Cayless off the field and constantly got up over the advantage line. Was rewarded with his first try in the NRL thus avoiding the dreaded nudie runJoe Galuvao: 8Really worked his guts out. Had to take a lot of responsibility he's not really built for, but never shirked the task.
