most overrated player at your own club - current & all-time

[Reflector]

My nominations for Newcastle are:

* All-time: Darius 'pot plant' Boyd. Came in on big money, but all he did was pass to his wingers. Except, of course, one week before Origin selections where he dug in and had a go. And I seem to recall he put 2-3 games in a row in one year. The last round, plus a Finals game or two.

Current: Our present Darius, Kalyn Ponga. Absolutely no doubting his speed, agility, and talent, but seems to phone it in most weeks before being a star of Origin. He's on too much money for the output he gives back at the moment.
Unfortunately none of the rest of the Knights are highly rated anymore, so KP's the obvious choice here.

How often has Ponga really starred at Origin, though?

The only games I can think of were his Origin debut in 2018 and this years' decider.

I forgot about Whitehead. I think the Raiders fanbase are in agreement that he's way past his best but it seems the general RL community still think he's one of our best players lol He's an error prone, penalty machine these days...

David Klemmer

I think that Jackson Hastings guy at the knights is also massivly overrated

At my club - Adam Doueihi. Absolute myth. How he has the audacity to command $900k after two ACL's and some very sub-par performances is beyond me

Because he's a 'footballer'.

Is he even NRL standard in any position?

Not Fair - Any club that Darius played for is at a distinct advantage in this thread, because no mater how bad a player you think he is, you are still over rating him

He can command whatever he likes, it's what the market pays that matters.
