who wants to start? matt adamson for me. he was no dave furner

Overrated by fans? i.e. Bailey as mentioned by Swifty or overrated by the club e.g. Richie Eyres

Danny Buderus.

Lock it.

Richie Spedding

GTFO...



He the best to ever pull on the blue and amber.

Vastly overrated IMO, could never see what all the hype was about.

Rob Burrow is the person I think is the most overrated player by the fans (and club)... he burst on the scene just as defences were starting to get better, but were still crap. As soon as SL caught up a bit and the lines stayed flat and solid he started to run around like a headless chicken throwing slow, off target, looping passes and killing overlaps for fun by running sideways for 5 metres and deciding to try and duck under a tackle, even though it is usually 3 on 1 on the outside. People see him running from side to side though and think he's good. If there was 1 player I would get rid of at Leeds, its him. I would bring in a good 6 and move McGuire to 7 as he is much better than Burrow and actually knows how to control and organise an attacking line. He knows when to hit the defensive line too, something which Burrow gets wrong time and time again.

Cliff Lyons.

Couldn't settle at 6 in his first stint, inconsistant, and only became moderately effective when he was switched to 7. Although he has a Yorkshire cup winners medal, something that Kevin Sinfield can only ever dream of owning.

Qualiteh!

Way below the standard set by Kevin Sinfield

Sorry, couldn't resist that.



McLaren Fooled has been put to bed for a while (in the nursing home with some hot cocoa).

What a breath of fresh air you are to SS.COM
You're also quite witty



I hope you stick around and add to your posts, but more frequently please

Everyone says Lewis Jones was the best but he was bald and had big ears and was nowhere near as fit as Sinfield.

Sinni iz well fit innit.

1. Bailey
2. Ginger Chancer
3. Stretcher Boy

And the annoying thing about that was he was the leading try scorer in the NRL the season after. I went to see Brisbane vs The Roosters at the old ANZ and he was awesome. Deffinately not the player that played for us the year before.

Maybe he had a rubbish clone?

I'd agree with that. Not that he's a bad player, far from it, but he is vastly overrated.

It would be interesting to see a list of 7's that have occupied the position for Leeds over the last 30 years or so, and see how Burrow compares to them. I can't think of too many (and none British) who could be called "better".

I do wonder what would have happened if he hadn't been kept or not developed. I would have liked to have seen Mathers move to 6 with McGuire at 7. Mathers was a good playmaker and I think 6 was his original position.

To be fair he didn't look too bad when he was on the field, sadly that just didn't happen very often.

I wonder how many Leeds players of recent times have won Man of the Series awards for the national team?

Did anyone rate him at Leeds?

He was a good player elsewhere, but I was never aware of anyone actually rating anything he did in the blue and amber. Except maybe the local publicans.

I believe Dean Samson rated him highly ......
