The NRL has never been as skilled as it is right now, with the majority of its big dogs under the age of 30.
Nathan Cleary has four premierships at just 27 years old. Tom Dearden is the incumbent five-eighth of the Queensland Maroons as a 23-year-old. Stephen Crichton, who is only 24, is one of the best captains in the league.
With so many premium footballers already cementing themselves as the best of the best at such a young age and a few emerging superstars rising through the ranks, who will be leading the charge come 2030 in the NRL?
4. Payne Haas (Brisbane Broncos)
The only side to have two players on this list is the Brisbane Broncos, with Payne Haas claiming the fourth spot. Already one of the greatest props of all time, Haas is every coach's dream for an elite forward.
Weighing in at 119 kg, Haas has the motor of an 80 kg fullback. This is what makes him such a frightening prospect for opponents, with the burly front-rower making sure every defender he runs at feels the impact of his might.
He has been doing this since his debut at 19, and with no signs of slowing down, there's no reason to believe Haas won't be just as dominant in 2030.
Haas is also a pivotal big man in the New South Wales Blues team. In a side where nearly every player has been moved out or around at least once, Haas is the only solidified mainstay in the Blues 17.
The same can be said for the Australia squad, where he is also a constant addition regardless of the team around him. With five more years of experience under his belt and an opportunity to become the greatest big man in NRL history, Haas is almost a lock to be a top-five player in 2030.
