As the Telstra Premiership finals kick off, the spotlight will naturally fall on the star players, but it's important not to overlook the underrated contributors within each team.
According to a report from warriors.kiwi, one such player to keep an eye on is Berry.
Despite his struggles with injuries in the past, the 23-year-old has come back stronger than ever since his return from a third ACL injury earlier this season.
His determination and perseverance have made him a standout in the Roosters squad.
Smith, on the other hand, has been a consistent force for his team, playing 80 minutes in almost every game and displaying his ability to break through the defensive line.
With impressive stats of averaging 121 run metres and over four tackle breaks per game, this Kensington Saints junior is finally starting to fulfill his potential.
Another player deserving of recognition is the former Warriors forward, who joined the Storm this year.
While he had always shown glimpses of his talent, he has now demonstrated consistency at the NRL level.
These underrated players may not receive the same attention as their more famous teammates, but their contributions will be crucial in the upcoming finals.
