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:
Melbourne Storm
Reimis Smith
When you think of the Storm you think of Grant, Munster, Papenhuyzen and Hughes. You'd likely run down the forwards and Justin Olam before even reaching the Maori All Star representative.
Of course, the Storm missed their megastar fullback following his severe injury but, for mine, they missed Reimis Smith almost as much.
His speed, ability to break the line and his defensive expertise were sorely missed as the Storm struggled to settle on a centre anywhere near his talents.
As a Sharks fan, I wasn't too cut up about him not being there this season as he feasted on the Sharks twice in 2021. That stuck with me. Hugely underrated talent.
I don’t see Sione Katoa as Cronulla’s “Mr Invisible”.
I’d reckon Cam McInnes – 900 tackles over the season – takes the biscuit.
