| Quote: jdrocket "Okay then. There aren't many overrated players over a career. Just people who have been brought in and under perform for a club. Richie Mathers being the prime example. He was great for Wire and phenomenal for Leeds but couldn't have been worse Wigan.
Overrated player at the moment Kyle Eastmond. Many said he was better than Sam and look at the two of them now.
Many say Wilkin and Meli are overrated I don't see it. Meli is weak in defence but if anything underrated in attack. Wilkin has had a couple of tough years but still has all the skills in the locker.'"
If Wilkin was in Salford's team he'd look like Tim Jonkers. I think the same goes for Gardner, I'd have scored ten outside of Gidley.

| Kevin Sinfield. Great organiser, but there are far many better players, yet the media can't sing his praises highly enough

I think he means that much to a team in terms of motivation and an influence in a dressing room that it cause people to have an inflated opinion of him. Pressure player supreme.

Gardner can go on the list. I think he will improve under Rolls Royce but I don't think he is good enough for Saints. Maybe they need to produce some out and out wingers (if they have i am drawing a blank) they seem to only focus on 6 + 7s now. Funny really.
I am baffled as to how people can miss the skills that Wilkin has got.
He was the best 13 last week. By all accounts he was great against Salford. Try and find the highlights on the SL website for the Grand final and watch Dixon's try. Wilkin sucks in the defence and then lays the ball perfectly to him. He had a phenomenal year in 2006 and has tepered off a bit. He still shows great signs of brilliance though.
Of course i don't watch him week in and week out but when i see him I am usually impressed.
I take a punt and have him at Wire.

| I think Wilkin is seriously overrated. Just don't get why some people think he's good.
Last year, the most overrated player was Feka. The fact he even got 1 appearance given his physical fitness is appalling, you'd be lucky if he got 1 big hit in and he was a fans fave. Bizarre.

He's an excellent 13.

I'd agree with Feka. I watched the first half of the Salford match in Cardiff last week in a bar before going back into the stadium. the commentary team were raving about him, but he just seems to make a couple of drives and then call it a day. He looks very unfit and those shorts must cost a fortune.

| Never seen the point of Fat Feka, total waste of a squad number, and an overseas place.
By the size of him, he should be ripping through the defensive line EVERY TIME, but he's lucky if he does it once per game, then goes for a fag on the touchline.
Remember how we picked him out in the 09 cup semi. LAUGHABLE.
Makes Danny Lima (remember him) seem like a worldbeater.

His complete lack of mobility around the ruck was seriously exposed by Monas for the 14 minutes he was on the field that day.

| Ah, I see, a thread designed for knee-jerk, wayward opinions on players. I'll guarantee next week a Saints player will be listed here.

| Eorl Crabtree is ridiculously over-rated! Long is over-rated these days and I think Jake Webster is over-rated- he was cream crackered after 20 mins today!
