I always head a feeling that Fa’afili was under rated by a lot of supporters. I don’t understand why Lineham doesn’t get any where near the level of praise that Josh Charnley does, but I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah i think Lineham is an all round better winger than Charnley, but the wire faithful have this weird obsession with him.
He's a quality player who doesn't do anything wrong, but when he has a game where he's quiet and doesn't do anything and Lineham plays better and harder than him him he still gets over looks and Charnley is the best thing ever. I find it utterly bizzarre.
There was an instance in one game where charnley scored a few times from simply being in space with nobody near him and took the ball and simply ran forward and fell over the line. Where lineham scored 2 really hard tries going round and through multiple defenders yet NOTHING got mentioned of his tries afterwards, and the club and fans were all praising perfect Charnley i Genuinely don't get it?
I tell you who i used to like but nobody seems to rate him was Mark Gleeson, he never did anything wrong, tackled well above his weight, and was fast and made some good breaks. I liked watching him on the field and thought he was massively underrated.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

I never had the feeling that Gary Sanderson or Roby Muller were underrated by Wire fans.

As a 'sort of' outsider looking in, I'm looking forward to how this goes ...

Erm, unless we're now looking at bang on good to average players who move on and we don't really miss them, then I'm not quite sure how he fits into 'underated'.

For me, underated might be someone who we struggle to replace either from within or through recruitment, and I don't think we're significantly worse without Sims (but that's not to detract from the contribution he made whilst he was here).

I was hoping Gelling might replace Bridge...but that has seemingly gone pear shaped

it was interesting watching the leeds play off game from 2013 on FB last week, both stef and westwood spoke in glowing terms and said exactly the same thing about grixy.

Our last GF final season he and Hill were our only frontline props, has to be worth something.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

He turned up with a decent reputation. Turned out to be distinctly average.

Not exactly the definition of underrated.

I think underrated is better suited to players who fans of other clubs don't see anything special in, but who their own fans see every week and get to see and appreciate their contribution to the team.

With that in mind, I'd say Mike Cooper is presently our most under rated player.
