Most over rated player (Off season thread)

Quote: jjb10 "So on that basis, Peacock Lynch, Graham, Morley, Paul Clough, Mason, Ferrioll & LMS all made more metre's. As Feka is not even in the top 25.
Lynch, Crabtree, Salford Ray Cashmere and Celtic's Mark Bryant all made more or the same amount of offloads as big Feka, and Feka only made 3 more offloads than Hock.
The only good stat Feka has is Tackle's busts. So 1/3 isn't to bad.

As for our go forward people said the same when Hock got banned and IMO we played better rugby, and IMO if we had another hard working prop rather than a 20min match crowd pleaser, we would have a better side.

Don't let your heart rule your head.
How long are they all on the pitch for? Unfortunately its harder to compare front row forwards on the stats than it is the back row forwards and backs as the former are far less likely to be 80 min players and it will vary from player to player.

Next year will be a big one for Feka assuming MM & SW want him fit not fat and then we will be able to judge if he is over rated or not. The same applies to Riddell who I mentioned earlier. There is potential for improvement in both these players and it was a dereliction of duty on Noble's part that they ended up as being considered unfit by most fans so it's a bit odd to ignore this significant factor IMO.

If neither of them respond to what we all expect to happen fitness-wise under MM then I think they will both soon run out of supporters on the message boards.

Other players don't have this excuse, are as good as they are going to get and so maybe they are are the ones who are really overrated.

I certainly would not bin Feka off now with the new regime coming in because he has the potential to be so much better and he also provides a lot of entertainment. We have been as boring as hell to watch at times and when he comes on it has been one of the few lifts the crowd has got despite the obvious spare tire he has carried around his middle.

So a clean slate for all the players IMO, even Riddell who despite having the potential to get fitter still isn't that good anyway And before anyone says Riddell lost weight when in the NRL and got worse not better then if that applies and he is at his "optimum" weight already I take it all back about the clean slate for him and he may as well leave now. I mean how can a player get fitter and get worse?
