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.
Melbourne Storm
Always out of the limelight is Shawn Blore.
With arguably the largest engine of any second rower in the NRL, Blore was almost an 80-minute man this season, averaging just under 77 minutes a game.
But generally, all of the praise for Melbourne Storm's forward pack goes to Eliesa Katoa, and for good reason too, there is no denying he is an absolute monster.
However, the Storm wouldn't have made the grand final if it were not for Blore's contributions.
Plus, heading into next season, with Katoa ruled out for its entirety, expect Blore to lose his underrated tag very quickly, as fans begin to recognise his impact.
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.
