Who are the crappiest & most overrated players?

[gingergenius]

Ones currently in and around international teams off the top of my head:

No one rates any England players.
AW Jones, Ryan Jones, Jamie Roberts
Cian Healy, Jerry Flannery, John Hayes, Donncha O Callaghan, Tomas O Leary, Keith Earls
Max Evans, Thom Evans, Sean Lamont
Morgan Parra
Martin Castrogiovanni
Tendai Mtawarira, John Smit, Pierre Spies, Morne Steyn, Francois Steyn
Liam Messam, Kieran Read, Jimmy Cowan

Others like Powell or Stephen Donald or many England players could get in for having no one at all rate them besides the coach.

Never understood why people (mostly SH fans) say Shane Williams is 'over-rated'. Does nobody watch him?! The guy can turn games around by himself!
Not really sure off the top of my head who I'd say is over-rated - Rhys Thomas is one I guess, though most people think he's a bit of a tw*t anyway. Matt Banahan is another, as in Phil Godman (he's not really international standard - at least not yet anyway). Dwayne Peel might be slipping towards the 'over rated' tag, which is a pity because when he's on form he's world class. He's got his work cut out if he wants to get back into that Wales no.9 shirt too with Richie Rees rapidly securing his place in the Welsh set up (and probable starting spot for the rest of the 6 Nations) and Mike Phillips regaining his fitness.

 

[feicarsinn]

If any of these players are mentioned someone is getting a booting: Leo Cullen, Johnny Sexton, Stephen Ferris, Jamie Healsip, Paul Warwick and Stan Wright. They're all awesome.

Now then, Overrated:

Wilkinson, Monye, Hartley, Tait
Hook, Roberts, AW Jones, R Jones
Paterson, The Lamonts, Morrison
Leamy, Hayes, Flannery, Murphy, O'Gara, O'Leary, Earls, Court, Fitzgerald
Chabal, Jauzion, Poitrenaud, Ouedraogo
Gower, McLean, Any Italian back
Muliaina, Cowen, Sivivatu, So'olialo
Beast, Morne Steyn, Ruan Pienaar, Spies
O'Connor, Robinson, Cooper, any Reds player ever.

[Meh]

Jonny Jesus Wilkinson.

John Inverdale honestly thinks this guy is the messiah.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

The Hask.

Any English player Dewi Morris and Stuart Barnes have had a hard on for on the Rugby Club over the last few seasons - Shaun Perry, Anthony Allen, James Simpson Daniel, Ben Youngs, Dylan Hartley.......many more.

In Ireland terms, Ronan O'Gara, Kevin McLaughlin and Peter Stringer at present. In the past, Anthony Foley and Victor Costello.

Inverdale also wants to see Sonia McLoughlan in lycra, which apart from being one of the most cringe statements ever said on TV, also shows his judgement to be about as useful as a coaching qualification in the England setup.

Tuqiri

Contepomi

Chabal

 

[roscommon guy]

Bastareau, Spies, F & M Steyn , Haridoquy, Nonu, Henson, Tuquiri, Monye , Chabal, THE BEAST, Habana, Collins, McAlister, Piennar.

They're the most over-rated players.


Paterson and Hayes are under rated

You mean Harinordoquy, the guy who has always played well and is about to be voted best player in the 6N? I think he is the contrary of an overrated player! I would have to agree about the others though...

 

[lucky_number_7]

alot of people are slamming sean lamont ..i have only seen him play vs the french this year but he seemed to be at the centre of everything good that the scottish were doing he took the ball on brilliantly constanty beating defenders...


but for overated i would have to say wilkinson is the first name that springs to mind ..sure the drop goal in world cup final was impressive but fecking matt dunning has slotted one .....seriously...come on

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[monkeypigeon]

Don't get this calling Flannery overrated business.

I understand that nobody likes him because he kicked a guy, but he was class all last season and just because he's been injured all this season doesn't make him overrated.

Don't think Hayes is overrated either seeing as nobody thinks he's any good. He just the only option...

Most overrated player of last year? - Morne Steyn.

Surely nobody rates Tindall!???!?!?

 

[Jer1cho]

LOL at you NH boys that think Morne Steyn is overrated. Shows how you base everything on the AI's... Notice how not one SH poster has said he is overrated on here, because he spear-headed the most emphatic Super14 win in history, and is busy doing the same now. He also pooped on the Lions last year, and broke all sorts of records in last years Tri-Nations, and was named SA's player's player of the year...

I think you boys need to watch more rugby.

Huh?

Maybe the biggest final win, but hardly the biggest Super 14 success... To be fair, it was probably 50/50 Bulls playing well, chiefs playing like ****.

[Nickdnz]

I've gotta get out of this thread...so many opinions I disagree with...anger bubbling.







NO, YOU'RE NOT F*CKING ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINION! CONRAD SMITH IS THE F*CKING SECOND COMING!
