Underrated- Jayden Campbell
Overrated - Josh Aloia . Gals observations as a player are proving spot on.
Yeah Aloiai is rubbish but not sure he’s ever been highly rated?

Campbell is a gun but had too many injuries / been used as a utility too much to show what he can do

If he can stay fit he will continue to grow but probably needs to go to a better team to reach his potential

Underrated - DWZ. if he could play for NSW he'd be a dozen games in and we'd worship him as a God.

Hughes - Munster gets all the wraps but Hughes is almost as important as Cronk was.

Not a bad call on Nicho. Hard for Cleary to be underrated though when he's pretty widely accepted as the best player in the game.
The underrated is because he isn't talked about the best of all time. After what he did in the grand final you can't say that John's, JT or lockyer could have done that?

Fair call. I think it's hard to think about the GOAT conversation this early in his career. He's a phenomenal player, and could well be the greatest. I'd like to see him dominate the rep arena before giving him that title though. I do think Johns, Jt, and Locky all had it in their game to win it on their own as Cleary did.

Yep, hasn't really done it at SOO level.

With the form he’s in, I’ve have him as my blues 9 if I’m the coach. He’s that good imo.

Certainly wouldn't look out of place there and would kill himself for the shield. Don't hate it at all.

Think NZ making it to a GF vs Penrith would make for fantastic scenes with him as well

Agree Way Degen a good player but has a bit of the Dugans about him, constantly something going wrong and not always serious

Egan is a great call, fantastic player - hopefully his injury woes are behind him
