Jordie Barrett used to get way too much criticism on the Fern but has silenced his critics with a string if superb performances in Super Rugby Aotearoa. Think he's one of the most skilled players I've seen. Hope he stick with the Canes for many seasons to come.
Wtf does that have to do with an underrated players thread?

I think if he improves his composure he could be an All Time great, yet until recently there were posters on the Fern suggesting he should be way down the pecking order.

Yeah and rightly so, as his play reflected he should be well down the pecking order. Now that he's improved his play, he's rated accordingly with most having him starting - funny that!
He'd be listed at about last on a list of underrated players.

Jamie Booth was the head-turner for me
Also liked the work of Ayden Johnstone, Michael Collins, Josh Mackay, Quinton Strange, Cowley-Tuioti, Telea and Eklund from Blues and Boshier, Ah Kuoi and Vaai from Chiefs.

Aidan Ross, Bradley Slater, Lachlan Boshier (and Sam Cane) were all consistently superb for the Chiefs this year. The 0-8 season record doesn't do their efforts justice.

Some of thought he always had the skills to become very good indeed and could become still much better. There is too much lazy group think and knee-jerk judgement about certain players by some regular posters on here.

The dude with the blonde golliwog hair came back well after that terrible performance he had in one of his early starts.

Racist.
Nothing flash, but did a job fairly adequately I guess. Not bad for a young fella in his first year.

Ayden Johnstone. So under-rated by me that I confused him for another Prop at a different franchise.

When Joe Moody first made the ABs, I think I posted some thing like "Joe Who?" Arguably the best Loose Head Prop in the world now.

George Bridge, gets a lot of stick on here, sure he's not Jonah Lomu or Doug Howlett, but he is a Test quality winger and rated No 1 in NZ by his peers.

He’s Caleb Ralph, Scott Hamilton or Zac Guildford though

He got caps that Hosea Gear deserved.

@ACT-Crusader said in Top Ferners underrated players:
For what it’s worth, I didn’t really rate TJ Faiane but the positive difference to the Blues set up and play was very noticeable when he was on the field as opposed to when he was out.
A genuine second five-eighth.
