Most Underrated Storm Player

[Mattpoet]

Article on nrl.com where tgeir exoerts list their opinions for most underrated player. Got me thinking about the mist underrated Storm player of all time. My thoughts are that he'd come from the following list:

Kenny Bromwich
Ben Cross
Dale Finucane
Matt Geyer
Paul Marquet
Bryan Norrie
Anthony Quinn
Matt Rua
Sisa Waqa
Brett White

I'm partial to choosing Waqa, he had all the skills but never got a lot of recognition apart from at the very end of his time here.

What do others think? Someone else off my list or someone else altogether?

Dallas Johnson?
Ryan Hinchcliffe?

Underrated by who? By the club/Storm fans? Or by the game more broadly (other club fans, commentators, etc)?

I ask because I look at players like Boofa and Hinchcliffe and I know that they are held in the highest regard by the club and true Storm fans but in the NRL generally, they probably should be considered underrated.

[Mattpoet]

Fair question. Either I guess.

Maybe it's recency bias but I think it has to be Finucane. He performs at a consistently high level every week but gets no recognition from pundits when it comes to discussing rep football. I would say the same for Hinchy but I think his performances weren't quite at the same level.

Going back to the beginning, this absolutely applies to MG as well. Club legend, but almost nobody outside of the Storm and their fans recognise him as anything more than a workmanlike winger.

I agree with Danger D Dale Finucane.

I think Steven Bell fits this criteria. Played 5 years with us during a relatively tough time and saved our bacon on a number of occasions. He did play State of Origin but is not generally remembered all that much.

[Mattpoet]

Definitely

I am a big fan of Steve Bell. I have his signed 100th game jersey on my wall.

I’m thinking Stephen Bell too.
Others that come to mind are Matt Orford, Steve Turner and Danny Williams.

Another player who consistently did his job but didn't get many plaudits, Glen Turner.
