2024 NRL Grand Final: Zero Tackle’s Best 17

Which players would you choose?

NRL's biggest spectacle is less than 36 hours away as the competition's two best teams will go head-to-head at Accor Stadium on Sunday evening.

Ahead of the clash between the two clubs, Zero Tackle names the best combined 17 of the teams announced on Tuesday. However, when selecting the team, the players can only be chosen for their respective numbers.

For example, one would have to choose between Brian To'o and Xavier Coates for the No.5 jumper rather than having both in their respective team.

The 2024 NRL Grand Final will start at 19:30 (AEST) on Sunday, October 6 at Accor Stadium between the Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers.
