Every NRL side needs superstars. Players who routinely take the game by the scruff of the neck and guide their side home.

We're inundated with reports and social media posts about how good the likes of Nathan Cleary, James Tedesco and Harry Grant are.

Almost as important though are those players who do their job week-in and week-out, whether or not they attract the plaudits said job deserves.

Today is a chance to celebrate those players. The players, I believe to be, underrated by the majority of fans.

Let us know below who you believe is the most underrated player in your side:

Penrith Panthers

Moses Leota
Every single member of the Panthers side is, rightfully, held in high regard. It's hard to come up with a name here. Or at least it should be.

Moses Leota stands as that very player. I could name 12 of the Panthers starting 13 for the Grand Final without any thought at all. Leota took me a few seconds.

This entry comes more so via the fact his teammates are flashy, world class superstars rather than anything negative on Leota's part.

Leota's efforts in the decider were mammoth, and rumours are he may be on the move in the near future. 10-or-so sides should be knocking door his door to obtain his signature.
