He was playing for NSW while Luke Lewis had been dropped for no reason.....this is the overrated part

I guess
However I still think he isnt that overrated.
I actually don’t ever recall him being rated to start with.
I thought his initial origin selection was probably warranted.
He was playing tough footy.

He did get a man of the match in origin he probably didn’t deserve...
However
Luke Lewis got one in the GF he probably didn’t really deserve.
Slater did as well
That happens all the time

Mark Tookey - fat bloke who drove a Mini
Shaun Timmins - face like Greg Bird, passing game like Ben Galea
Ben Creagh - Offloaded like Martin Lang, tough like Jack Elsegood
Shane Perry - He won a Grand Final you know - it was probably rigged
David Williams - He had a beard, that's all

SBW is a slightly above average back rower in league and is therefore a union legend

WTF

If you don't like the guy that is fine but to say he was overrated is just blasphemy.He was one of the most talented, skillful and powerful players I've seen with the ability to do anything on the field.

The merkin couldn't make a tackle to save his life and had to run screaming from the code when the cheap shot shoulder-charge was banned and now takes his frustrations out on fat alcoholic old men in the ring and union players who are in even worse condition.

Backrowers I've seen play that shit on SBW from a dizzying height:

Paul Sironen
Scott Gourley
Brad Clyde
Ben Kennedy
Gorden Tallis
Brad Thorn
Ali L?a!u'ti't;i
Nathan Hindmarsh
Steve Menzies
Jason Taumololo
Paul Gallen
Josh Jackson
Sam Burgess

We're in the age of google, kiddo.
Google the 1993 ARL season and then come back and redo this take.

you're right, my apologies

I neglected Wiki and Nandruku in my carriers-of-the-overrated-shite list.

SBW would be run of the mill post-shoulder charge era. Ticker means a lot and that merkin has none. I don't even consider him a RL player. He's had short cameos in RL with long holidays in RU and boxing cab drivers twice his age.

He's played 118 NRL games over 10 years. Play 8 consecutive seasons before you get a look into the conversation.
