Underrated XVII

[Psycho Doggie]

Hope I'm not stealing your thunder Slick mate. Thought this would be an interesting topic in line with a few you've started recently. I'm going to make sure I restrict my Bulldogs picks to 2, although I often feel most of them are underrated.

1. Jack Wighton (hopefully Sticky doesn't ruin him)
2. Nene MacDonald (plays on the same team as Daniel Tupou, and outplays him consistently)
3. Gerard Beale (plenty of Line Break and Try assists for a centre)
4. Tim Lafai (when fit must be challenging for NSW jumper)
5. Pat Richards (so what if he's old, he's playing amazing)
6. Corey Norman (very elusive player)
7. Jeff Robson (consistent performer, at the least a very sound club half)
8. Tim Mannah (better than just a City rep)
9. James Segeyaro (has been scoring at a rate of more than 1 try every 2 games for Penrith, practically unheard of for a hooker, also makes an insane amount of tackle breaks)
10. Aiden Tolman (what does this guy need to do for recognition?)
11. Tariq Sims (frequently plays 80 minutes, frequently does 100+ metres and 30+ tackles. Unlike Snowden doesn't go missing when the Knights are struggling)
12. Tofu Harris (killing it this season)
13. Dale Finucane (Melbourne lucked out when they snagged this lad)

14. Wade Graham (has 1 lone City jumper)
15. Michael Ennis (Defense is legendary, as is his enthusiasm, there is life in the old dog yet, how long since he got a rep jumper?)
16. Gavin Cooper (Cowboys knew what they were about when they signed this guy to run angles off JT)
17. Josh McGuire (Broncos early success this season comes off this guys hard work)

Lol'd out loud at Tofu Harris. Haven't heard that one before if it isn't a typo.

 

[Moedogg]

Some of the players like Segeyaro are rated. Id swap him for Nathan Friend who very reliable, plus Tim Mannah played origin.

 

[dekepefc]

I reckon Joel Thompson from dragqueens is underated. I'd take him over trex

 

[lafai]

I miss Dale

 

[b00merang]

IMO:

1. Jack Wighton
2. Reece Robinson
3. Jarrod Croker
4. Tim Lafai
5. Sosaia Feki
6. Blake Austin
7. Michael Morgan
8. Paul Vaughan
9. Michael Ennis
10. Aiden Tolman (c)
11. Joel Thompson
12. Ethan Lowe
13. Dale Finucane
14. Jake Granville (although he's probably rated now after his game on the weekend)
15. Mike Cooper (as above)
16. Isaac Liu
17. Josh McGuire

Tariq isnt underrated. He is well rated in the league community. He's also good for a few penalties and a league imposed holiday every few weeks.

He doesn't have a NSW jumper yet, and doesn't even seem to get a mention in that regard. Would you hand him one?

I miss Dale

How has DAle been going anyways?!

 

[Malla]

How has DAle been going anyways?!

Average. Hasn't really done anything above and beyond what he was doing here at Dogs, but his work rate is up. In saying that, he plays more minutes at Storm anyway.

I really hope he has a good career and potentially ends up back here.

He doesnt have an origin jersey because he's either injured or suspended.

Theyve talked about him for years about been born for origin, then something always happened.

Yes i would. Because he would gift QLD atleast 4 penalties per game and we might even see a real biff instead of a hugathon.
