According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the definition of overrated is: "If something or someone is overrated, that person or thing is considered to be better or more important than they really are."
Hence, this list is not necessarily looking at bad players, but rather, the players who just aren't as good as the rugby league community makes them out to be.
In a league where reputation can outweigh performance, it is always important to recognise players who might be getting a little more credit than they deserve.
So, here is the most overrated player at each NRL club.
Brisbane Broncos
If this list were created before the NRL finals series, it would've been Reece Walsh.
But it seems relatively unfair to claim the most overrated player at the Broncos is the man who singlehandedly won them a premiership, even if most of the rugby league community still thinks so.
Regardless, if it isn't Walsh, you'd have a tough time picking anyone else.
However, Adam Reynolds does come to mind.
While he is a great leader, Reynolds isn't as pivotal to the Broncos' success as some might think.
In the five games he missed through injury this year, the Broncos were undefeated.
Also, for halves, he ranks 11th for try assists, with only one more than Sam Walker, who played 13 fewer games this season.
If your saying Adam Reynolds is over rated you clearly have no idea what your talking about..
“this list is not necessarily looking at bad players, but rather, the players who just aren’t as good as the rugby league community makes them out to be.”
Adam, Nicho, Latrell – agree with them being in the list
For Manly, I’d be picking Turbo
For Wests, hmmm it’s hard for Luai to shine behind a pack that’s not generating much go-forward.
Brown at Newcastle? He hasn’t even played a game there, yet (Apart from which, precious few people rate him as being any good, so it’s hard to call him “over-rated”). I’d nominate KP
Why does it feel like zero tackle is now a far cry from the great website it once was. It’s all click bait and opinions that are crazy. Naming some of the players in this list shows you hardly watch the games and pick stats over everything. Guys like Liam Martin, Fisher-Harris have a presence that can’t be measured. Also some of the picks are straight up wild. Dylan Brown? The bloke who is about to be named Golden boot is over rated? You also mentioned pay a lot, if you were doing that should of said most over paid not over rated. Latrell was another poor choice because he is super talented and has a presence with and without the ball and everyone says he’s average so he’s under rated.
