    Australia's most overrated player

    HEAR YEA, HEAR YEA!!!!

    Calling for nominations for Australia's most overrated Super 14 player.
    When there is enough (looking for at least ten) I will put up a poll for a vote.
    I am making an Executive decision to eliminate Trestle as I think he would win by a landslide on this site at the moment and he doesn't really fit my following definition.
    To be eligible a player must have significant support from a vocal minority and pretty much ignored by the majority.
    Two good examples that come to mind are Peter Hewat and Adam Freier.
    Not trying to Tahs bash at all but perhaps Dunning would be another example.
    Anyway, fire away and we'll get this ball rolling!

    Burgs In my opinion Peter Hewat is a good Super 14 level player i think this shows in his points per season...

    Lote is a player that I believe is overrated, he may score tries; but his discipline, red cards here and there, is inability to look for other players and draw and pass make him to me not a complete backline player...

    If Hewat was half good, he would be in the Wallabies squad? Im voting for him. Imposter, with a few mates also.

    That is what makes him a perfect example Shaun, you (and others) support him because he scores points, I think he is a turnstile in defence and wouldn't want him even at the Force let alone the Wallabies.
    Keep them coming folks!

    Mat rodgers for mine as well( although taking Baxter away has swayed the vote)....Rogers is a great league player, and he has played some great games, but on recent form he really has fallen down, but repeatedly gets the call up... He is a dyna-Mite bench player, with twenty minutes to go, thats about it now....Sorry all you Tah supporters but this is only my opinion...

    Yeah sorry frontrow, but as I have never heard a single good word for Baxter he was really ineligible.

    Points win games... and so you must score points and not let the opposistion score points, I agree Burgs defense is a major fault in Peter's game... I stand strong with Lote as most overrated

    does it have to be overrated for the whole season?

    Cause Henjak sure had a lot of support and rave reviews at the start of the season and he turned out to be a bit overrated.

    If that doesn't count I will gladly go back to the drawing board burgs.

    I think this thread deals with players overrated at present time, right now I believe Henjak is playing well and is maybe underrated by Wallabies coaching staff...

    I have 3 to nominate.

    Matt Rogers - cant kick, cant tackle panics in both offense and defence
    George Gregan - 3 steps. Should have retired before the last World Cup
    Al Baxter - Trestle

    I'll allow Hennas Jess as he certainly has his core of supporters but has been in exile from the wider Australian Rugby community.
