    Yeah Ennis has kind of declined but he's still one of my favourite players.

    Why I've always respected your opinion on league.

    Jason King is one I would mention as someone considered highly rated who shouldn't be. Selectors obviously considered him good enough for Origin but most league fans laughed at his inclusion. Every time he runs the ball up he gets smashed and never makes a break. Just an average player and doesn't deserve the plaudits he receives.

    It's not meant to be taken 100% literally.

    So it's basically just who do you think is overrated?

    Me too tbh. I had a stage there where I thought he was improving. He wasn't. Just had a little purple patch.

  10. 99* JJ Ritchie

    AWThis so much.

    For me Greg Bird imo gets over rated a fair bit.

    As a club player, he is. Very good at rep level though.

  12. Flack SA Flack

    I don't 'rate him highly' I more just like him for some reason... Just one of those players for me, like Ben Rogers (but Rogers > Burns, obv).

  13. Flack SA Flack

    I'm thinking it's more "Who do you think is rated highly for stupid reasons?'

    In which case a lot more answers make sense to me. I'd definitely agree with the Morris brothers under that title.

  14. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    I'd say good. Not very good. His defence has been pretty ordinary when playing lock for NSW.

    Jason King is a good FG player. He marshalls the Manly defence. Also hits harder than most Front Rowers in the comp. His attacking game is average I agree but he never shirks the work. He's a toiler no doubt but when he has Kite and Rose to impact with ball in hand he suits their team hugely.

  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    So it's just edition number 345834853845873457345 of the over-rated players thread, under a different name? :p

    It's more like what Flack said.

    If it was just overrated, I would have included Jarryd Hayne or something.

    I have somewhat difficulty understanding the magnanimity towards the following players:

    Manu Vatuvei
    Gerard Beale
    Isaac Luke
    Ashley Graham
    Steve Matai
    Josh Morris
    Jharal Yow Yeh

  20. LukeTyson L Tyson

    I agree with everyone on that list besides Vatuvei.
