Kinda a different category. Solid club player who turns into a superstar when he puts on a maroon jersey. Gagai and Capewell belong in that group too.Going to add another cowboy after today… been thinking it for a while and that is Cotter = overrated
The Blues have had a few in a similar category in recent years , solid club players but duds in a Blues jersery .Kinda a different category. Solid club player who turns into a superstar when he puts on a maroon jersey. Gagai and Capewell belong in that group too.

Wayde Egan
Been very good the last two years but just a bit too 'glass' for me to be picking him for Origin. Deserves to be in the convo though, which makes it hard to call him underrated.Might have to take him off the underrated list soon. He’s starting to get his well deserved plaudits.
Yeah every tackle hurts himBeen very good the last two years but just a bit too 'glass' for me to be picking him for Origin. Deserves to be in the combo though, which makes it hard to call him underrated.
And unlike old glass bones Dugan Egan actually also goes off quite a bit.Yeah every tackle hurts him
Dugan **** yeah I can't believe I didn't think of him. And you're right for all his theatrics Duges played on more often than not. Egan usually right to carry on too but he takes too long to realise it costing interchanges.And unlike old glass bones Dugan Egan actually also goes off quite a bit.
Dugan would just die for 30 seconds then be okay
100% - Remember when Teddy backflipped late in contract negotiations with Sticky before he resigned with the Tigers FFS. This clip of Ricky (Hitler) still makes me giggle:Might be out of necessity too thou.
Sticky has missed out on a lot of “stars” who didn’t want to go there.
So the alternative is to breed your own.
