Lomax - some nice touches, bad defence for the Kiwi try. Got some competition for his World Cup place.
McGillvary/Hall - happy with both, would expect one of the Wigan wingers to join them in the squad next year.
Watkins - his 'days' are so few and far between, extremely frustrating when we've seen what he's capable of. Looks more of a flat-track bully I'm afraid.
Percival - two poor handling errors on the rare occasion he got some good ball against the Aussies. Centre not a great position for us though, hopefully Shenton can come back to his best.
Sarginson - makes the wrong decision time and again, with and without the ball. Hall could have had 4 tries against NZ if Sarginson had any idea about centre play. Be interesting to see how he goes next year - providing he gets an opportunity in the NRL I'd expect him to improve ten-fold.
Brown - yesterday's man, kicking game was terrible.
Gale - poor, but could still have a role to play given the lack of talent in this position. Thought Hodgson ran him out of the game on numerous occasions.
Widdop - as above, some decent aspects to his game without really standing out.
Williams - I'd like to see a bit more faith shown in him from now on, very talented player who should be our 6 for the next decade.
Graham/Hill - both did well, we know what to expect from these two.
George/Tom - a notch below the other two but have a big role to play in the future. Taylor & Cooper belongs in this category aswell and there are a number of alternatives not in the squad, prop is a very strong position for us.
Hodgson - was very disappointed personally, he's been far better than that in the NRL. Needed to be more direct - he 'crabbed' all around the ruck constantly, running across the halfback and ruining plays. Gale was visibly frustrated with him on numerous occasions.
Clark - criminally under-used and inexplicably dropped - he can cause havoc around the ruck and with the forward-oriented game Bennett wanted us to play it makes no sense not to have him in the team. Will have a big part to play moving forward.
Whitehead - another I expected more from. Currie and Ferres both far better for me and would expect them both to be involved in future.
Bateman - did pretty well and he's another with his best years ahead of him.
Farrell - telling that he wasn't picked for the two most important games and I agree with the call - size matters at the highest level and he'll never have it, talented though he is.
Sam Burgess - for someone of such obvious ability and character he doesn't half make some stupid errors and decisions. We need far better from our captain in the future and I'm sure he knows it.
Wayne Bennett - There hasn't noticeable improvement in the team from last year under McNamara IMO, but that's to be expected given the chopping and changing he's made to the halfbacks. Hopefully he's a decent idea of his best partnership now. I'm glad he's taken steps to improve his access to the squad for next year with the Samoa Test and January camp. We need to prioritise the national team over the club game if we are to make any kind of improvement.
