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.
Manly Sea Eagles
Boy, Jason Saab is quick, but that's about it.
Unfortunately for Manly Sea Eagles fans, Saab is a shell of the player who scored 26 tries in 27 games in his first season with the club.
His try-scoring record this year?
10 tries in 20 games.
So, despite his speed, he is now struggling to cross the line.
Not to mention, both his line breaks and average run metres are down from last season, highlighting he might not be as good a rugby league player as first thought.
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.
