7 from me, in the context of what he achieved when having next to no knowledge or instinct for the game. He used his size, reach, competitiveness and ability to learn on the job in a fearce competition where noone else has had to do what he has done, and finished the year with his head held high. He wasn't supposed to be playing, he is an international rookie. Even as a rookie Tadgh didn't do what he managed to do with the limited arsenal he had. And that is why I gave him 7.

Admire what he has achieved, though apart from his tapwork he was crap.
Look through the trees, rating on his year and he gave nothing during games.
Being big and athletic means nothing if you dont get it during games

"Apart from his tapwork he was crap". Never was a truer word said. However, his tapwork was the primary reason he was in the team, and his tapwork was very good, genuine senior ruckman standard. So to say he gave us nothing and giving him a 1 is really quite unfair.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
