Title: The Most Over rated player in the NRL

I think Anasta.

How come Orford on that list, if anything he is underated

eastsrule - September 13, 2003 10:49 AM (GMT)
In another post I call him the most underrated player in the league. But I added a heap of names.

Another underrated player ( by selectors ) is Richard Villasanti. If the Aust selectors don't pick him for the Kangaroo tour, they are off their heads. The poms would be scared shitless.

Gasnier, Anasta and Bailey have to be the top 3 for me. I agree Roger, Villasanti is a great player, attack, defence, speed, hell he even takes the kickoffs.

eastsrule - September 13, 2003 09:18 PM (GMT)
And he can drop kick it over 50 meters...

I think the most over rated player would have to be Barret, He barely ever fires for the dragons and can only play good on occasion in the rep games. Atleast anasta's team did something this year.

MrCharisma - September 14, 2003 04:53 PM (GMT)
Man Anasta is sooo not the most over-rated player in the league. He has had a good season for the Dog's this year. Though it hasn't been like last year, nether the less he hasn't been out of form and continues to play well.

Don't bring in Origin either, Anasta was picked to play in Lock position, a position which he isn't adapted to and only has had a few runs in. I ask what was the point naming Steve Menzies as the 18th man when his position is on offer yet they give it to a 5/8th... stupid Gould. Can Gould be on the list?

There are far more players that should be more Over-rated than Anasta. Kimmorley has done feckin nothing since he left the Storm back in 1999. Both the Northen Eagles and the Sharks have gone down-hill after Kimmo graced them with his presence.

Orr isn't over-rated, he's under-rated. I dont think Gasiner is even rated. Since I've voted I can't see the list but NATHAN BLACKLOCK should be the most over-rated player. Yeh sure he is up there on top try scorers but it's cause he gets the ball 'given' to him. He is shite, shite I say.

There's my 2 cents

MrCharisma - September 14, 2003 04:56 PM (GMT)
As for the list, I don't think it was researched enough- sorry JD.

There are alot of quality players on the list that shouldn't be even mentioned such as Morely,Tallis, Johns, Buderious, Wing, Jones and Orr to name a few.

chriswalkerbush - September 14, 2003 04:57 PM (GMT)
Anasta has received the 'Most Overrated Player' tag two years running in the RLW Player Polls. Maybe that would indicate that he is overrated.

Gasnier is definately overrated. He gets more mentions around selection time than Denzel Washington at the Oscars.

Blacklock should be on there though. He gets gift tries, makes maybe one tackle a season, and lets in more wingers than the turnstyle at the local gym.

Where the fuck are you getting Orr from?

Do you mean Orford?

Chris

MrCharisma - September 14, 2003 05:00 PM (GMT)
Yes, Orford would be who I am talking about.

eastsrule - September 14, 2003 09:44 PM (GMT)
I just threw on a bunch of names.

The fact is some people think Craig Wing is better than DannY Buderus.

One name I did forget was Ali Lauititi. He's done nothing since his come back.

Please don't post in caps....

eastsrule - September 15, 2003 06:45 AM (GMT)
whoever voted gidley should go home.

brandell - September 15, 2003 07:46 AM (GMT)
Who voted for peachy as an over rated player? He hasn't been rated highly for quite a while. Besides he is a good player when his team is on fire.

chriswalkerbush - September 16, 2003 04:18 AM (GMT)
Yeah, when his time is on fire.

A truly good player should fire regardless.

Chris

eastsrule - September 16, 2003 06:51 AM (GMT)
time? I think he means Team.
