Yesss as you may know i hate players that are overrated
due to the fact that they know they are and tend to hide
in there little shells.
An Example Jamie Lyon.
Add some more overrated players peeps =]

jamie lyon is not over rated he was just poor cause he was forced to play 6 instead of 4.... orford is a bit due to the fact that when the pressures on he folds and plays badly..... Marshall is overrated and if one had to choose between Marshall and say Todd Carney id pick Carney. Marshall is overrated cause of his porneness to injury and every time he comes back everyone talks him up and then he just gets injured..... he turns into a liability for his club.

Just because your injury prone doesn't mean your over rated. People dont rate players on the tendancy of player's bodies to get injured, they rate them on their skill. Benji has tones of skill and when he plays brings a huge excitement factor, he is definately not over rated.

i would say that he is overrated due to injury cause if people hype u up to a ridiculous standard and then u injury urself constantly whats the point, wats the point of playing a player that has an extremely high injury rate just because everyone else is talking him up, whilst i agree that marshall is one of if not the most talented player in the NRL at the moment why would u pick him if he couldnt last 3 games before being seriously injured and have a 6 month rest and rehab stint on the sideline.... Personally i believe that if Marshall injurys that arm again he should have along thought about giving the game away because these injuries will start to impact the quality of life he can have as he ages, wats the point of playing NRL and injuring his arm again if he will be a 35yr old man who cant move his arm without pain?  ?? |

I see your point, but when we talk about rating NRL players, we are talking about rating them on their skill. Say the best tasting food in the world was discovered, but its supply was very very limitted. What your saying is like somebody commenting that the taste of this food is clearly not good at all because we don't have much of it.
As for whether as a team you would want him in your squad, is a different story. Similar I suppose to an exetremely skilled but very ill disciplined, disliked player. He is a great player but would you pick him if he disrupts the team?
As for him personally and his injuries, it is his choice where he goes with his career, and its not up to you to judge how he wants his future quality of life to be.

im not judging his personal choice on quality it was more a poorly phrased quesiton asking if you were in his position and got injured again and had to choose between playing nrl and run the risk of being constantly reinjured and stopping and living a possible higher quality of life as overratednes and food quantity i personally think that they are very different players and wen u rate a player u must consider all aspects and not just skills eg maturity.

Ok, you can "rate" players on whatever attributes you like, this is your judgement. But in the context of this thread, Benji is not over rated the same way we would say Lyon was last year or Orford is now. Also there would be an exetremely small minority that would agree that Benji is "over rated"

fair enough if that is the context of how i rate players is in dispute here if i was asked not to consider anything other than ability then no benji is not overrated

People just talk him up because he is the next new thing for
the NRL. Remember when Brad Fittler came into the NRL areana?
everyone talked him up and look at his career =]

i guess, he just has a (god damn this anti-swearing rule) "bad" game when everyone expects him to play well, he'll shine until looked at for selection, like a lot of the manly side i have 5/7 in tipping  |
