Who is the most over-rated player in the NRL?

[mozza91]

J Reynolds, Farah, & Dugan came to mind.

Sione Mata'utia - a promising talent. But has just been named on the wing for Australia ahead of Daniel Tupou and Alex Johnston after only 7 games.

He hasnt earned this spot IMO.I just hope he lives up to expectations or Australia are gone.

If we get bundled out it wont be his fault.

 

[Green River Eel]

Tim Mannah

 

[Twatface Magee]

Who is more overrated?

Sione Mata'utia

Or

Daniel Tupou?




I'd say Tupou.

Alex Johnson = the next Wolfman

Great debut season playing in a winning team scoring lots of tries. However it appears I'm the only person who has noticed that the vast majority of them he just fell over even though the line to score them. In between those tries I saw him blow a fair few chances and also look a liability in defense.

Somehow he has gone on to make the Australian squad as a rookie.

I'm prepared to say in 3-4 years time he will be a battling first grader/journey man type player

Atm DCE. But might change easily.

How dare you!

I have to disagree on Farah too. Can't stand the guy but he is a very good player.

Daylight 2nd....

Matt Daylight was a handy player, hardly overrated

Wolfman was still a talented winger until his body broke down.

Johnston is more like the next Andrew Everingham

Ben Hunt

# Sat on the bench for 90% of his career
# So bad that he lost out a position to Corey Norman after Darren Plod's retirement
# Best achievement was cracking the starting team after 4 years on the bench and finishing alongside a dopey Eels team despite the fact his team has so much SOO and International experience whilst the Eels only have wooden spoon experience
# In talks for the "Benchwarmers" remake

Jason Nightingale deserves a mention

So I'm not the only one who sees it. I still hate how the media blow their load over a guy who fell over the line 15 times this year. He may well turn out to be a very good player, but Daniel fitzhenry would have scored the tries Johnson did this year.

 

[The Rosco]

Jason Nightingale deserves a mention

Oh God, how could anyone forget him !!!! Especially after the weekend game.

So now my top 2 are Everingham, and Nightingale.
Nice work, U.P

 

[Tommy Smith]

Nightingale is class.

So he bombed one try... doesn't make him overrated.

IMO he is a very complete winger. Not fast; but he is an underrated dummy half runner when bringing the ball back from inside the 20, a good defender, great under the high ball and a clinical finisher.

I'd take him at the Roosters in a heartbeat.

Gallen. Phenomenal player but I feel like he hinders his team as much as he helps them. If he pulled his head in and played 60 minutes of tough stuff, he'd have a chance at being an immortal.

 

[Noname36]

If we get bundled out it wont be his fault.

Oh no, didn't you hear? If Australia get bundled out it will be all the 18-year-old winger's fault...who didn't even play in the first derp fest. Nothing to do with only one prop getting chosen in the whole side 2 weeks in a row :lol:

Gallen. Phenomenal player but I feel like he hinders his team as much as he helps them. If he pulled his head in and played 60 minutes of tough stuff, he'd have a chance at being an immortal.

I don't think he's overrated.

But I definitely agree he hinders the team.

His teammates give him too much respect, & are never willing to overrule him. Plays his best footy for Australia, where doesn't get to make the calls.

 

[Nothin' Leica Hayne]

Robbie Farah
John Sutton
Ben Hunt

They all get too much hype for what they have actually achieved.

 

[MacDougall]

Cam Smith is easily the most overrated player in the history of the game.

Brilliant player but he's rated as one of the greatest of all time and I don't understand why.
