Rugby league is a sport obsessed with superstars and highlight moments, so it's easy to overlook the players who may not dominate headlines or win the end-of-year awards.
What makes these players underrated is that teammates lean on them, coaches trust them and they shape results without the plaudits.
Every club has someone like this, the unsung hero that keeps the team moving, the player whose influence runs deeper than most think.
So, before the next headline rolls in, let's take a moment to appreciate them, the most underrated players at each NRL club.
Paramatta Eels
Despite being in the league for 15 seasons, Dylan Walker still seems to go under the radar.
He is versatile, has extremely high football IQ and great impact off the bench as a ball playing lock but remains overlooked.
While there is no doubt that he is edging closer to the end of his career, his impact at the Eels this season was undeniable.
Some have recognised this, including the Eels GM, but for the most part, Walker's contributions were shadowed by the electric form of Isaiah Iongi and try scoring prowess of Josh Addo-Carr.
Connor Tracey.
Under-appreciated by the coaches at the Sharks, so he left.
Now he is under-appreciated at the Bulldogs.
The league’s perennial “Mr. Overlooked’
CT is very underrated, the reason Raiders got Brailey was because they thought they might not be able to re-sign Starling as they wanted to re-sign Fogarty and Alamoti is underrated as well.
