An unsung hero, every team has got them. They're not flashy and they won't have a massive highlights reel on YouTube for you to watch, but each club can't do without the men listed below.

5. Titans: Brenko Lee

Following an early release from his contract at the Bulldogs to return to his home state, Brenko Lee finally showed what all the hype was about in 2018.

Having never struggled in terms of his attacking skillset, an increase in his defensive efforts and fitness levels coincided with a prolonged stay in the Titans starting line-up at the back end of 2018.

Although he may not get the same plaudits as fellow youngsters such as AJ Brimson and Phill Sami, the Logan Brothers junior put out extremely impressive numbers from his 14 games. The former Queensland Under 20s representative averaged an extremely impressive 3.1 tackle breaks and 137 running metres per game, not to mention the 3 tries scored and 6 he laid on for his teammates.

Off the back of some savvy off-season recruitment from the Titans and coach Garth Brennan, netting the likes of promising centre Brian Kelly, look for Lee to take his game to another level in 2019 following these pre-season challenges.

  1. Mitch Aubusson might go under the radar with opposition fans but EVERYBODY at the Sydney Roosters know that this bloke is no unsung hero.

    Mitch Aubusson has been a tackling machine and a great runner of the ball for a decade or so and we at the Roosters know how vital he is to the team. A Mr Fix it with his utility skills covers 2nd row, Lock, 5/8, centre and hooker.

    Has played over 260 NRL games and if he plays one more season after this year injury free then he will be the most capped Roosters of all time Minichelio holds that with 302 games, Aubo is less than 40 away from breaking that.💪🐔👍🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

  2. O look it’s woodcrower, posting in the same lingo, with back to back comments……astonishing that someone can claim to have to rival clubs that “hate” each other but then posts stuff like this

  3. Despite common misconceptions, Mitch Aubusson is our least talented player and I wish I had never given him that brown paper bag.

  7. It’s true and I think even the commentators have raised this on a regular basis. He’s a solid all-rounder, not an unsung hero.

    Unsung hero? I’d be thinking Liu or Toops. Both get picked every week, play big minutes and have a direct impact on results. However, neither get a lot of talk.
