On the latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie, Garry and Declan named a few Wests Tigers players that contributed a lot but might not of got the accolades they deserved. 

Names such as Payten, Fulton, Galea and Mitch Brown were nominated.

Do you have any suggestions for Wests Tigers most underrated players through the last 21 years?

I reckon Darren Senter should get a mention. 

Laffranchi is also somewhat the forgotten man of the 05 team.

Honorable mention for Simon Dwyer too who contributed a lot in his 35 games for us.

@helmesy I almost said Dwyer on the pod, he would have been a long term rep player in my opinion.

For mine it would be Dene Halatau. 

Fulton and Gibbs have to be up there also

Shane Elford was very strong as the opposite centre as well.

Surely Fitzy deserves a mention too?

And what about Galloway?

@helmesy Fitzy is an interesting, was a bit of target for the fans but I quite liked him. Galloway was a fantastic player, but also copped a bit of a hiding from fans at times.

I agree with Halatau. He was fantastic.

 

Skando is another one. Deserved to play State of Origin.

Loved Halatau, his one two combination with Farah during the 2005 semis were a big part of us winning that premiership.
