End of Year Report Card

[rugbywhisperer]

I thought I'd start this off, mainly as I have had to eat a bit of crow regarding a few players.
In past lives, I have not (and I am man enough to admit it) considered Hynes, Ioane and Mitchell as full time Wallabies. I have been rather critical of the Hynes and Ioane, however on this tour we have seen a development and maturity in their play that I believe has transformed them from half decent S14 / borderline internationals to true contenders for the wing positions in the wallabies.
I also am totally enraptured with the performances of Brown, Alexander and Robinson with all three showing greatly improved skills and abilities.
Steven Moore and Baxter also have outdone their previous reputations and will come home far better players than when they departed our shores.
So for a mark out of 10 for improvement (not overall ability), any mark above 0 is a plus.
Moore 6
Baxter 4
Hynes 7
Ioane 7
Mitchell 4
Sharpe 4 (Over recent performances)
Mumm 5
MMM 5
Chisholm 4
Burgess 0 (current, can redeem himself against Wales)
Robinson 4
Alexander 4
Giteau 4 (taken control at no 10 while never being a 10 - thank God your here)
Mortlock 0
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 0
Smith 0
Waugh 0
Pocock 3

I think we need some negative marks

I didn't want to be down too much on some, anyway their life in the green and gold is limited.
