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:

South Sydney Rabbitohs

Tevita Tatola
Unlike many players on the list, Tatola is talked about. Quite often in fact. That said, he should be talked about in the very elite middle forwards.

Tatola absolutely battered the Roosters and Sharks forwards in the Finals in 2022 and was one of Souths' best in a brave effort against the Panthers.

The fact he is not in very serious Origin consideration for early predicted 2023 teams says it all. He absolutely should be, and right now would be hard done by not to be picked.

This time next year, this is not a name I expected to be seen on this list but right now, the world simply isn't high enough on the Rabbitohs' monster middle.
