Shaul, makinson, shenton, gelling, carney, burns(hate him but cant deny him this), sneyd, hill, clark, taia, whitehead, westy, team has been class individually from wheb ive seeb each one.

By your logic, Matt Cook at London would be running him close!! I'm not slating westerman, he was outstanding first few rounds, In my opinion , pretty average since. Paull Gallen as only played 7 games for cronulla this year, making over a 1000 meters and scoring 2 tries! oh and a couple of origin games!

There hasn't been a more consistent loose forward than Westerman so far this season.

O'Loughlin, on his day, would be a shoe in but he only seems to play the 'big' games this season.

Shaul, like most full backs, needs to do some serious work on his defence.

Great in attack but weak in defence.

Would have Escare as the more consistent player this season and Hardaker slightly ahead of him as well.

Matty Bowen has had his moments also.

As you say there are very few decent fb defenders in our league, hardaker being the exception. Bowen seems very inconsistent.

Hardaker's defence probably comes from him being a centre throughout his career up until the last 18 months.

One thing that has impressed me about Shaul is I can only remember him dropping one high ball all year.
