Corey Thompson was underrated by many. Had more pros than cons and always put in 100% 

I'm surprised that it took so long for him to get a mention.

Watching a replay on Fox and I should have mentioned Blake Ayshford. We could really use someone like him in the team today.

Todd Payten. Not totally underrated (was named to train on for 4 Nations in 2010) but his contribution to our side was considerable - he was a mainstay when we were successful. The 'Big Hombre' had a smart footy brain, was a handy ball player and usually led our line speed in defence. We were always a better team for him being on the field, and this showed when tennisballgate ruled him out in the 2010 semis.

I think Eddie may have included him in his list on the podcast last week as well. Fantastic player, halfback in a probs body.

I believe Chris Heinington and Beau Ryan were our glue once they left morale went south. We shouldn’t underestimate what they brought to the playing group for many years…

I'm glad someone mentioned Beau Ryan, I thought he did some unreal things while playing for us and he is never mentioned.

I think some people dislike him due to his media career, which I think is a bit unfair.

Are premiership winners so I am not sure how underrated they are, but Fulton, Skando and Laffranchi. 

I think Laffranchi was one of the clubs biggest losses.

Fitzy is a premiership winner and no one rates him.
