Nathan Hindmarsh is the first player to make our list that has never won a grand final. However, he is the first player in NRL history to make over 10,000 tackles!

This gives him the honour of most tackles in NRL history. Nathan Hindmarsh has also had his fair share of individual honours, with the most notable being his 5 Proven Summons medals, which is the NRLโ€™s version of the fans player of the year.

He has also won the Dally M Second Rower of the year and the Rugby League Week Player of the Year on multiple occasions and winning the Ken Stephan Memorial Award in 2009.
