Steve,
You are over-rated... but you are no sook!

Dragonheart - I agree with your call on Barba, and I'm a Bulldogs fan!

Even though I love Marshall and his flair, for me the most overrated player in the NRL is Benji Marshall.
He does fark all for 5 games makes numerous errors, bad defence, and all you hear is excuses about he is adjusting to being a halfback, he has to let the game come to him, he has to do this, do that, but then he has a blinder in one game and everyone talks about how great he is etc etc. when in reality Marshall is an enigma at this stage of his career. He tries hard, but he is either brilliant or really bad. For me he is the most overrated player in the game by the media anyway.
There are others but they dont get the adulation and protection that Marshall gets from all the commentators. One thing i really dislike about the media of rugby league in general IMO, is that too many players get a free ride, and not many call a spade a spade. I dont want the 'hysteria' type of analysis where you are either a hero or zero, but a bit of cold hard analysis needs to be out there.
PS I actually like the Overrated question. On the same token I would love RLW in conjunction with the players association or something come up with a players player award or a players team of the year award.

Oh, and another thing Mr Mascord, you're not an overrated, dishonest sook. That title belongs to Rebecca Wilson!

I have heard that clown Suttor on a few occasions on SportsEars, he's incredibly annoying! Mind you, I have a problem with referees most of them time :)
doubter, Ben "the next Thurston" Barba is a myth. He can't tackle, he can't run a side and his jink and step doesn't cut it amongst the men. People criticise Soward's defence but he looks like Tonie Carroll compared to Barba! I don't think Anasta is hyped much at all nowadays. Trent Barrett, however, is overrated and overhyped big time just as he was at the Dragons all those years.
rleague did a fans poll last year if I remember, you guys bring that back this year?

Dragonheart, we'll probably do it again this year. It got a pretty decent response last year.
I think that is a great idea - RLW should do an officials poll - all the NRL referees, Touch Judges and Video Refs - should get to anwser the player related quiestions - it would be fantastic and these days there are almost 40 of them in a squad so enough

Good idea, forum Poll. I vote Kurt Gidley

I like that suggestion dan.
How about we put it out there for the punters on rleague.com? Any suggestions for most hyped?
I'd vote Willie Mason but he isn't too hyped these days.
Maybe Benji? Too hot and cold. I know he's been out of position but I keep hearing his name spoken with reverence and it doesn't fit with their position on the ladder.
Others worth mentioning:
Benny Barba (pre-season hype, that is)
Anasta
Trent Barrett

Actually, even as a fan I'm not sure who I'd pick as most over-rated. I haven't seen enough games for all clubs to say fairly who, but there are certainly a few media favourites at present that I'm yet to see deliver with my own eyes. Some that come to mind are Kurt Gidley, Mitchell Pearce and David Williams.

Suttor like Hayne are both overated showponys and i used to think Mick Stone and the Grasshopper Barry Gomersall were bad now i am starting to have second thoughts.

I find it funny that some players won't vote on the most overrated player but voting on the worst referee is fine. Maybe Referees should be allowed to vote on the most overrated player?
