Wingers. The prolific try scorers that are constantly on the end of damaging players, whilst needing to be able to hold their own against their opposition counterparts in defence.

Speed, power and skill are a must in the NRL, and the top 10 wingers in the league certainly aren't short on any of the aforementioned attributes.

For the purpose of this list, only full-time club wingers will be considered. Holmes and Gagai are no doubt top 10 wingers, however, it is not their position at club level and are not taken into consideration. Fusitu'a is also considered a centre.

4. Daniel Tupou

The Roosters superstar returned to his very best in 2020 despite an injury-interrupted season. He managed 15 games this year scoring 11 tries, making 10 line breaks, breaking 59 tackles and running for over 180 metres per game.

Tupou was equally as impressive after a well-deserved Origin recall. There are few wingers more dangerous in the air, with the cross-field kick always a weapon for his halves. There was talk of Tupou being used as trade bait last year. Those talks have firmly been put away after an incredible season from the top four winger.

  1. I support the Panthers in letting Mansour go. He had a pretty good season in 2020. However, heโ€™s an elder statesman & really isnโ€™t that quick. Heโ€™s often been easily run around by faster wingers for quite a few seasons. He gets out jumped by taller players. He costs too much, especially for a winger.
    I think youโ€™ll find that Charlie Staines, will quickly become a top 5 winger. As long as he can avoid too many hamstring injuries. Heโ€™s very good under the high kicks & is very fast . As fast as anyone in the game .
    Penrith requires at least one other good centre. Especially without Naden. Wingers? Not so much. Theyโ€™ll have two of the best around!

  3. I wouldnโ€™t. Still think Toโ€™o is just as good as Nofoaluma. Staines could be better than him & is already faster.
    I just support the Panthers position to keep Staines. If they had to let Mansour go, the Tigers are welcome to buy him.

  4. eh idk IMO Nofoaluma the most underrated winger in the NRL. He doesnt only bring tries, he makes so many metres and takes so many runs when we need him. Sure not the fastest, but I wouldnt say hes slow. He makes up for it with his footwork and strength. Idk I think its disrespectful to put him below To’o and Mansour because hes been so good for so long

    I didnโ€™t make any comment on the position the story writer had Nofoaluma in , for the top ten.
    If youโ€™re going to go by metres made though. Old Mansour had him & Toโ€™o covered last season. Still, thereโ€™s more of a future in keeping Toโ€™o & Staines at Penrith. Than keeping Mansour.
    Got to say, that if Toโ€™o or Staines were for sale. Westโ€™s would be first in line to try & buy them. Just as they are for just about any Penrith graded players or juniors.
    Out-of-puff…
    Morris may have done well , for your premiership buying club. Still, heโ€™s not got long to go. Heโ€™s old too!

  9. Not my premiership buying club…
    Old and nearly done he may be, still the pick of that bunch. Experience plays it’s part. I like the look of Staines and also Ramsay but a very long way to go to be in Morris’ league as a winger.

  10. If the Roosters had better prospects. For them that would mean buying younger players from elsewhere. Then theyโ€™d get rid of the brothers as well. In fact, any club would.
    Played well . Still, got away with one year of not many injuries. Which also come with age. How many injuries next season? Both have had plenty before.
