The most underrated Raiders of all time

[edwahu]

I actually think Logan gets a bit overrated on here. He was one of our best bench props but he never led the pack or was successful as a starting player.

Of all the mentions so far I lost agree with Michael Hodgson and Adam Mogg.

Few players ill mention and for different reasons are:

Phil Graham. By his own coaching staff at least. 2003 was a year where we looked a genuine surprising chance for much of the season before Penrith came home late. And come the finals he was in reserve grade to accommodate Bulgarelli. That went well.

Rod Jensen. I always thought he could have played more first grade for us and was a better player than a few who kept him out at the time. Ended up having a pretty good career for the Cows (though you couldn’t have predicted the type of player he ended up being)

Jamahl Lolesi. Was a good genuine centre for us and at the dogs afterwards.

Elliott Whitehead. Not by Canberra fans, but definitely by the league community in general. His consistency, skill and durability has been brilliant in a very specialized modern day position. He’s filled in in the halves and centres admirably, he hurts people in defence and I reckon he’d improve every single team in the competition markedly.

The abillity was there but Jensen had the worst hands of any Raiders player I remember. Once he fixed that at the Cows he was great.

I don’t remember that about Jensen. But in saying that I couldn’t watch every game back then like I do now.

Chalk’s hands were ok until the try line was beckoning.

I googled overrated and there's a big photo of Matt Orford.

That plonker feeding a scrum is forever etched in my brain.
