2023 was a year of big changes right across the NRL.
From a new team, to the improvement of the Warriors and Knights, to other teams like the Rabbitohs, Eels and Cowboys being on a slippery slope to the bottom, there was plenty to keep track of week to week.
A season like that is always going to bring contrasting ideals for a number of players, and there were some who made major leaps forward on their careers.
For some, it has already new contracts signed, while for others, potential has been fulfilled. For one, you could argue it was a career-saving season.
Here are the ten most improved players from the 2023 NRL season.
6. Jeremy Marshall-King (The Dolphins)
Marshall-King was phenomenal throughout 2023.
Once upon a time, Marshall-King was a half at the Bulldogs who was thrust into the hooking role as a stop-gap measure when the club were short on options to play the important role.
He turned himself into a serviceable number nine at Belmore, although little more as the Bulldogs struggled year after year.
Still, he obviously had shown enough for Wayne Bennett to take a chance, and Marshall-King wasted no time becoming the first-choice number nine in Redcliffe, and, almost immediately one of their best.
His improvement throughout the campaign was out of this world and he will look to go to another level in 2024 as a very crucial cog in the system.
