3. Payne Haas

The Broncos monster had a massive season and was one of very few standouts for the utterly atrocious 2020 Broncos.

The 21-year-old has been forced to play a role well beyond his years, often being asked to play 80 minutes in the middle. I'd argue his best games were when he was allowed to rest, however even playing 80 he was always dangerous.

175 metres per game saw him become the Broncos number one in the middle. He made 1368 post contact metres, broke 61 tackles and tackled at over 95% efficiency.

Hopefully Kevin Walters can maximise his output in 2021. He has everything it takes to be the best big man in the game.

  2. The Parramatta pair got a number one ranking for 2020, in another sites article mreel. So you’d be happy with that, being as biased as you are.
    However, each club has 4 plus props in their top squads & there are 16 clubs. So number 9 is pretty good.
    Paulo got a 6/ 10 rating in origin 3.
    Parramatta failed to make the Grand Final yet again.
    Number 9 may be a little light on? Still pretty close to the Mark.

  3. By the way mreel…
    2022, looks pretty bleak on the wings , for your eels. No Ferguson. No Sivo, if they don’t pay his contract upgrade.
    The ‘Riff’ as you like to say. To’o & Staines. Will be Vastly Superior our wide.
    Such is Life ! 😥
