We are absolutely blessed in the year 2024.

The level of talent across each and every NRL position has never been better.

The current crop of NRL five-eights though is downright special.

This was a very difficult list to compile. You'll soon see but one of the game's elite players missed out.

A reminder that this is a list based purely on 2024 efforts.

With that said, below are the top 10 five-eights from 2024:

Honourable Mention: Cameron Munster

1. Jarome Luai

The Panthers superstar had yet another magical season en route to a fourth straight Premiership victory. Often without Nathan Cleary by his side.

Across his 24 games he crossed for four tries, had 15 try assists, 13 line-break assists, forced 17 dropouts, kicked for almost 240 metres per game, ran for over 100 metres, produced 40 offloads and tackled at over 84%.

Importantly Luai also delivered in the Origin arena. His errors of 2024 are well in the rear vision mirror now.

He heads to the Tigers as one of the Panthers all time greats!
