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.
Cronulla Sharks
With Blake Brailey finally receiving his flowers, our attention can turn to another unsung hero at the Cronulla Sharks in Teig Wilton.
Wilton is criminally underrated, even by Sharks fans.
Defensively he is great and can step up when his team needs it most.
You only need to look back to the semi-final victory against the Raiders.
80 minutes, 143 run metres, 48 post contact metres and a try.
It was a mammoth performance, and he was arguably their best forward that night.
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.
