Your top 5 overrated players of all time?

[Tommy Smith]

Aaron Woods is the winner so far.

18 games for Australia? I wouldn't give him 18 games for Austria.

The Von Trapps are made of sterner stuff.

 

[blaza88z]

I haven't read the previous 17 pages but surely James Tamou is somewhere on the list?

I can't remember the last time he was relevant in the rep arena, or even the first grade arena

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

TPJ is on his way to making this list. Total pea-heart.

 

[King hit]

Declaring his allegiance to Tonga was one of the best things he ever did. He is far to much of a liability and far to inconsistent.

that ain’t no thing to be sneezed at. That family weren’t going to kowtow to no nazi bullshit
And they sang like angels!
The Von Trapps were hard af

 

[Whip Whitaker]

David Fafita should get an honourable mention.

While his team sucks, and while he is injured, he is trying to become the highest paid player in the nrl.

I can only remember him playing well against the Cowboys. He's put a few big hits on Taumalolo, and is living off that legacy.

 

[Meth]

I don't know about all time, but right now, Cody Walker is worth a mention. I constantly hear about his amazing football ability which is supposedly peerless, but I am yet to see him actually do anything. I watched him closely last night and it seemed to me that promising attack died when the ball got into his hands.

Indeed.

Though I was referring to their presumed Rugby League prowess, where even still I'd back the kids to outplay Sharon Woods.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Shannon Boyd deserves a mention although he was probs never rated.

 

[Mr Spock!]

James Roberts
Milford

 

[Whip Whitaker]

Jarrod Croker

 

[Reflector]

Carl Webb

Played one good Origin game in 2001 and made an entire career off the back of it.

Jarrod Croker

Only Ricky and the Canberra management rank Mr Neck Beard.

 

[Whip Whitaker]

Braith Anasta. He denied the Bulldogs a successful era with Johnathan Thurston.

 

[King hit]

He is the 2010’s Richard Villasanti. Just plays a few good games at the right time but is a plodder besides that.

Shannon Boyd was just bigger than everybody else. Any advantage he had because of that faded away as the game got faster every year since 2016.

Carl Webb

Carl Webb was the kind of player that could find a good patch of form, but it would easily go down the drain with an injury or suspension. I think that is because he didn't have good discipline/ standards with his diet and fitness when he was playing, so it was worsened on the sidelines.

He started the 2007 season very good, for example, then he gets a broken jaw (Justin Poore?), and never returns the same player.

He had an absolute flying start to his time at the Cowboys. At the halfway point of 2005 it could have been argued that he was a better buy for the cowboys than even JT.

He either got suspended or injured just before the finals which was a shame as he could have made a difference in the finals that year

Ryan Hoffman did a dodgy wrestling tackle on Webb (before the Storm had the reputation on wrestle we know today), and Carl Webb got up and king hit him from behind.
