Nice name...
I don't think Smith is overrated, and to be honest, not too many people I've spoken to rate Penny that highly, most say he's 'overrated', but it seems quite rare that people actually rate him.
You do understand that people have to actually be rated to be overrated.
Penny is probably overhyped, which is a problem we suffer from in this country due to the intense competition for media spots. We can hardly expect to get media coverage if we just say "Yeah, well, he's fast, but to be honest, he's a bit pooh at everything else", can we?
But, if a few journos put into their match reports that he is "Doing a good impersonation of a top class finisher", or he has "speed not seen since Martin Offiah graced Super League", then people perhaps begin to sit up and take note.
Also, Lee Smith 'Overrated'. Good one, that, a couple of weeks late for Comic Relief.

I'm not sure what people expect from Penny. He isn't a player who makes hard yards, or creates much himself. He is a player with blistering pace and outstanding running ability.
He is a player that a team needs to use, rather than just playing him and he will score.
