Most Underrated and Overrated players in the NRL?

Surprised that Gutherson gets so many mentions in the overrated category TBH. He puts in more effort most weeks than the rest of his frontrunner peaheart teammates combined. He comes across as a spud personality-wise but he is still a good player who leads by example.
He made a shocking centre in Origin but as a fullback he is amongst the very best in the comp.

On 2020 form

Over rated: Ponga
Under rated: jahrome Hughes

Tigers

Over rated: Nofa
Under rated: Talau

Wow that is interesting. On 2020 form Nofo, along with Luciano were head and shoulders our best players (notwithstanding Harry who isn't ours to worry about anymore). And IMO Talau was pretty disappointing considering the hype. What do you think TT is underrated in regards to? Serious question mate, not trying to take the mickey.

Nofa - got our big award despite being a winger and having three or four guys out perform him. Chasing money that he isn’t worth.

Tommy Talau - for his age played well in a beaten side most weeks, good try scoring record playing out of position. When Melbourne want you at that age, you have some upside.

3 or 4 played better than Nofo? Could possibly make the argument for Harry and LL. Who else?

I’d say Munster definitely gets a fair wrap. Best player in the game in my eyes

Easily .....he is getting close to Thurston in my eyes

Tedesco, Papalii, and Taumalolo say hi:blush:

Yeah ..nah ...Munster is a step above them now ......I think Taumalolo has lost some of his lustre in my eyes

Underrated: Liddle
Overrated: Grant

After SOO 3 ...no way ...Grant is in the Top 3 hookers in the game and when you think who No 1 is .....bloody huge accomplishment in his 1st full season
 
Underrated: Radley and Finucane

Overrated: Moses, Croft, Cleary

I'll say this: I'm not saying Cleary because I hate what his father did to us. I think he is a very good player but he has not reached the top echelon of players yet. Still yet to prove himself consistently on an origin level and still missing that gear in being able to take his team all the way. He falls in the Mitchell Pearce category for mine at the moment: a very fine club player but still has a way to go to be considered a great player.

I always give preference to forwards and spine players because their job is so much harder.

Twal started the year well but was cruelled by injury
Harry
LL
AD was consistent in a number of positions

I probably have Nofa 5th, good season but in honesty I probably wouldn’t have picked him for NSW either, tries are only a bit part of what a winger needs to do, he has a knack of coming up with a bad error in the close games and played better against lesser opponents.

That’s just my take, clearly he did have his best season by far.

I reckon he will surpass Thurston by the time his career finishes and stays injury free
 
The biggest overrated type I hate are those players who produce half a dozen good moments a year, get applauded for it and don't do anything else. Ponga, BJ Leilua would fall under that category.

I feel RTS is still very underrated. He should be put in the Tedesco/Billy Slater category but gets put in the 2nd tier.

If you take 2020 out of sight, Curtis Scott can be a devastating centre. Keen to see how he goes without the off field distractions

I wasn't saying that Grant is no good, I just don't think that he walks on water like some others do. I do think we will see, in Liddle, a player who is equally as skillful, if injuries don't strike him down again. I am excited for 2021 - I think we'll go okay!

Overrated: 3-way photo finish in DCE, Adam Reynolds and Cody Walker

Underrated: Mo Fotuaika

I can't stand Manly,but outside of Cronk DCEhas been the most consistent 1/2 in the game He is the only 1/2 that has both a good kicking game and a good running game.He killed our supposedly great halves in SOO. He is a big game player.

Munster goes alright when his team has the upper hand, when his team is struggling against quality opposition he goes missing IMO. Thurston used guts and commitment to will his team out of some losing situations, Munster has never shown that

I don’t know about that, Munster has been on the up for a pretty long time now...the dude virtually helped win storm the grand final, bendered for 5 days then rocked up to origin camp and killed nsw game 1 lol.

I also like his versatility, he has played at the highest level in number 1 and 6 and excelled in both positions

I hate the storms and qld but I’m in awe of how good he is
