Most underrated players in the NRL

[steggz]

Finucane and Tyrrell come to mind. From the Dogs it has to be Tolman

There is no parallel universe where Tolman is underrated, surely!

A couple that come to mind are Paul Vaughan and Leeson Ah Mau.

That player from my team

 

[natheel]

I don't watch much Parra (if any) but Norman showed zero heart at Brisbane. He might have skill, but in the tough moments, he's nowhere to be found.

V cows he was good. Only thing k don't like is he tends to give cheap stupid penalties but his heart is definitely there now that he is one of our main men. Very happy he came to us. Especially after a slow start to his eels career in 2014. Last year he really took the main playmaker role on when Sandow was dumped

He should be the #14 for QLD

Not ahead of Morgan, Hunt (not avail. in 2016), Milford. All 3 have genuine speed which Norman doesn't have

 

[DiegoNT]

Cooper cronk.
Gets rated behind smith and slater in importance for the storm but i think he is easily their most important player.
Ditto Queensland. For all the talk about Thurston, smith, slater etc in the last few years when cronk hasn't been their they've been a completely different team

 

[McLovin]

Jayson Bukuya

 

[nick87]

Chris Lawrence?

Ok.
I'm out.

In the "that guy from my team" theme, I'd go with Josh Hodgson. I don't think people have caught on to just how good he is. He's 25 years old, in his 2nd year of NRL footy and with Smith, Farah and Luke on the down swings of their career, he and Jake Friend are the best young hookers in the game

Sam Thaiday

 

[MacDougall]

Chris Lawrence?

Ok.
I'm out.

This is exactly why I mentioned him. You obviously haven't watched him since he moved to the backrow. He's killing it.

 

[Rabbits20]

Bryson Goodwin. Considering he only started playing centre 3 years ago after a career on the wing, he's been doing pretty well (besides an injury riddled 2014 where he ended up at the Bears) but he seems to be doing well. If he had more speed he'd be up there but is doing well and is ageing well like a fine wine.

Jason Clark is a solid forward who never gets a mention but plays with a lot of heart and seems to have bulked up this year and will be moving to prop.

Correct re Bryson. He has got a good step too and breaks lots of tackles. He looks stronger too.

He is passing the ball better too the winger as well. Years ago he used to hog it.

Bryson just continues to improve in all areas. He can get repeat sets for us too with grubbers.


Correct re Clarky too. He gets the job done every week.

 

[Rabbits20]

Goodwins attack is quiet good, it's his defence that lets him down.

Can't agree on Clarke, the guy is a fringe first grader. Great clubman who Souths fans probably love but he's The jason nightingale of forwards.

His defence has improved.

Overall last season it was very good.

Clarky is not a fringe first grader. He is an interchange player. He is adding ball playing to his game too and finding halves with wrap around plays.

Every club needs a guy like Clarky. Makes his runs and tackles. He's solid.

I can't stand Moanly.

I'll happily talk about Taufau. I think he's ordinary.

Williame is ordinary:lol:

DCE has it great. Doing nothing for that money. He's not even hungry.

Scott Bolton

You seemed surprised, it was stated as such in the OP.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Anthony Milford is now world class, if anyone hadn't noticed?

In terms of my team, no one.

 

[Binga]

Manu Mau

 

[Cloudsurfer]

If you are talking the general RL audience/ fans, Storm's Harris - if you're talking coach & team...he's never underrated. Also Proctor - never flashy but up there in defence like Harris.
Yeah, those guys from my team....

 

[851]

Goodwin, Ah mau, Blake Green, Leutele, Vaughan, Ethan Lowe, Aubusson, David Gower, Kenny Bromwich, Brenton Lawrence, Naiqama are all underated compared to their team mates.
