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.
Newcastle Knights
Greg Marzhew doesn't deserve to be stuck at the Newcastle Knights.
In the top 10 for average run metres and average post contact metres, Marzhew's efforts from out the back aren't spoken about enough.
He is a tireless workhorse and would be considered one of the best wingers in the game if his team could set him up for more than six tries in a season.
With Marzhew without a contract for 2027, though, the Knights risk a classic case of not realising what they had until it's gone.
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.
