Most Under-rated Players To Accumulate a Team

[Ghoulies]

Creagh has played for Australia

You sure about that? I seem to remember Creagh only making last years train on squad, but pulling out with injury shortly afterwards.

That said, he's one player I certainly wouldn't lump in the under-rated category.

 

[kia ora storm]

Brett White and Wairangi Koopu should be in the forwards.

 

[Inferno]

Got to be kidding on Ciraldo.

Hasn't really been given a chance to prove anything this year.

Lance thompson is definately underated though. He's like Gallen except he doesn't drop anywhere near as much ball.


And he can kick goals;-)

The single most under-rated player in the competition is Ben Hornby. I know he's played for NSW, but deadset he's an absolute gun, one of the best players in the comp IMO and it to the Dragons what Lockyer is to Brissie, Johns to Newcastle, etc..

I absolutely agree, he's vital to the Dragons chances

[McLovin]

Brett Kearney from the Sharks. He's been one of our best this year and has pretty much played every position bar prop and second row. Very handy player and under a good coach, could probably be a rep player soon...

Luck, Mannering, Webb, Guttenbiel

 

[Bazal]

i dont kno if im in more shock that some one has said this...or the fact that Wagon is still playing 1st grade

No one rates Wags, but he was consistently one of our best during our winning run this year, and on one or two occasions I personally thought he outplayed Hindy. He has been in outstanding form and when on song is a good player. I think the fact he has been made to earn his spot has done him the world of good...

Other mentions from Parra would go to Wade McKinnon and Mark Riddell. Everyone thinks Riddell is a lazy fat bastard but he plays with heart and passion, and is consistently one of our best when in form...

 

[raiders fan forever]

I feel that Phil Graham is also under rated

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

I feel that Phil Graham is also under rated

Muchly so. ;-)

 

[Dutchy]

Brett Stewart
Steve Southern
Chris Hicks
Jake Webster

17. Paul Aiton (Penrith Panthers)

QFT. This guy is easily one of the best players every time he walks onto the field. Our most underrated player IMO.

Also... Tongue is underrated so long as you're not talking to a Raiders supporter. In which case he is way overrated.

Brett Stewart for Manly is underrated also IMO. How he didn't get the NSW #1 jersey in Mini's absence i'll never know. He has a lot more spark then Hodgson does. Hopefully Stewart gets a run next year.

 

[JJ]

along similar lines, I thought Luke Quigley was pretty decent on the w/e- have no idea why that idiot Hagan took him off - good luck Eels

 

[Raider_69]

Troy Thompson for front row imo

 

[sharkadelic]

The whole Raiders team except Woolford who contributes nothing but penalties and grubiness.

 

[Raider_69]

germ is under rated hooker in his own right
he cops alot of sh*t for his favourite past time (and i do mean past time as he quieten down this year) of whinging, and he loves abit of niggle, but he is a pretty handy hooker as a player

 

[Sanchez]

out of interest can someone tell the story of how wagon made origin
