Players most overrated by their own fans

Darren Lockyer - Glass jaw (Eye socket too), played through the backend of the golden era of Broncos success behind far better players and captained them through their worst seasons until retirement. Pure luck again at State of Origin level playing along with far better players made him look far better than he was. Shifted to 5/8 to hide his defensive weaknesses. Would have been in NSW cup for any NSW NRL side.

Daly Cherry Evans, absolutely useless at rep level. Probably something to do with his giraffe neck

Imagine if Shane Watson was a league player.

Tim Mannah

i don't think Eels fans over rate Mannah. I actually think a heap of Eels fans are quite hard on him the half think he's a solid player and there are a minority who think he should be playing for NSW

I honestly don't think anyone in our current squad is over rated in eels fans minds to be honest

Tigers- Luke Brooks, Robbie Farah
Broncos - Milford (the new Barba)
Dogs - Reynolds

Which players do you think are the most overrated by their own fans?

There's a reason Brett has only played 1 test. Slater, Hayne and even Hunt were simply much better players.

Your turn...

I agree that Slater and Hayne were better but Hunt only played rep football because 1000 fullbacks where injured. Hunt was way more overrated than Stewart.

Saying that $outh$ have to win hands down with both Merritt and especially Sutton
