Its that time of year again, just past the halfway point of the NRL competition, so it's time to rank the ‘duds’ of the year so far.

Dud

noun
a thing that fails to work properly or is otherwise unsatisfactory or worthless.

adjective
not working or meeting standards; faulty.

These are the players who this year have been doing well below their calibre or expectations and just aren’t performing the way their team needs them too.

With this in mind, here are my Top 5 duds of 2018:

3. Mitchell Moses (Parramatta Eels)

With Parramatta sitting last on the ladder for the 2018 season, there was bound to be at least one of their players in this list.

Mitchell Moses transferred to the Eels midway through 2017 after jumping off-board the Wests Tigers bus, and at first, was loving it. But now, maybe he wants back on the bus.

Having 13 appearances for the Blue and Gold this season, Moses hasn’t quite been in the form he would’ve liked, with just 6 try assists from a playmakers position.

He has crossed the line once and but has provided a much-needed goal kicker tallying up 27 goals at a conversion rate of 75%.

Moses’s kicking game as been down this year, only averaging 206.96 metres, along with a measly total of 588 running metres.

Parramatta as a team have been poor this year no doubt, but given Moses’s talent, they really shouldn’t be at the bottom of the heap.
