PLAYER RATINGS:
Kalyn Ponga: 8
Threw the pass for two of Enari Tuala's three tries and was always a threat.
Enari Tuala: 8
Was unlucky to give away the penalty try and could not have done more, scoring a hattrick.
Kurt Mann: 5
Took some tough second half carries but rarely sighted and not a factor in the game.
Bradman Best: 7.5
Didn't see any open space but 19 possessions for 152 metres with work-rate enormous.
Hymel Hunt: 7
Scored a first half try and heavily involved, always putting his hand up for a carry to take the pressure off his forwards.
Jake Clifford: 7
His first finals game and looked composed and played his part. Grubbered for a Tuala try.
Mitchell Pearce: 6
Wasn't one of the veteran half's better games but never stopped competing.
Jacob Saifiti: 6.5
Made some telling tackles but not the impact with the footy we've been used to.
Jayden Brailey: 7
Didn't get out of dummy half all game but tirelessly made 56 tackles.
Daniel Saifiti: 7.5
Tireless in first game in 4 weeks. Made 174 metres from 18 carries and came up with 36 tackles.
Tyson Frizell: 7
Was on the receiving end of some big hits and bravely came back on after being concussed. Busy.
Mitch Barnett: 7
Hardly saw the ball in the first half but far more prominent in attack after the break. Tackled everything that moved near him.
Jesse Sue: 4
Played just 26 minutes so didn't see a lot of the action. Limited impact.
INTERCHANGE:
Connor Watson: 7
His last game for the club and could not put his stamp on it in attack but it wasn't through lack of trying. Did a heap of defence.
David Klemmer: 7
Carried a painful rib injury into the contest and you couldn't fault his bravery. Ran strongly.
Josh King: 6
Didn't see a much game time after spending time off the field for a HIA but came up with some quality defence in his final game.
Brodie Jones: 2
Came on for Frizell in the first half but lasted just 13 minutes before a HIA.
