This is what is said about Kimmorley. A little harsh I think. We have only won 3 of 8 games played without him since he did his hammy. Hardly a good record.
1. Brett Kimmorley
Sorry Cronulla-Sutherland fans, but it had to be said. This entire article just wouldnt make sense if he wasnt here. Out of curiosity why isnt Kimmorley in the Australian Olympics team competing in javelin? He has the entire step, step and throw something dangerous routine so down pact that another gold medal was a bonafide certainty.
Lets be fair to Kimmorley for a moment though, a lot of the media criticism that Kimmorley attracts had to do with his firm relationship with former club and national coach, Chris Anderson. In fact many locals even consider Kimmorley to be the reason why Preston Campbell, Nick Graham and Dean Triester all left the club within twelve months.
This season, many thought that Cronulla would shatter without Kimmorley in their line-up who sustained injury prior to State of Origin. However, life was anything but dreary for the Cronulla lads who picked up unexpected victories and unearthed two major talents in Michael Sullivan and Jason Kent, in the wake of Kimmorleys absence. Those same critics will also argue that Kimmorleys game is fairly one dimensional, and its not too difficult to see why.
When on song, Kimmorleys kicking and passing game is second to none, but considering how much of their salary cap the Sharks dish out to him, youd expect a stellar performance every game of the season. Unfortunately, until he brings success to Cronulla, he will always be dubbed by opposing fans, as the most overrated player in the NRL.
