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
8. Dylan Brown
The Eels five-eight was extremely difficult to place here. Much like the Eels, at times, he was breathtaking and, at others, ordinary.
24 appearances netted him five tries, 18 try assists, 18 line-break assists, six forced dropouts, 131 run metres per game and a tackle percentage just under 90%.
There's a theme here as Brown, much like the aforementioned two, played a lone hand at times with Mitch Moses being unavailable.
Brown has genuine elite half potential. He showed signs in 2024.
