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
6. Lachlan Galvin
Although their club finished 17th, Tigers fans will look back upon the 2024 as being a success. It's all due to one person - Lachlan Galvin.
The young playmaker had a magical season, and not just for a rookie.
In his 21 appearances, he crossed for four tries, laid on 16 try assists, forced nine dropouts, had nine line-break assists and ran for 130 metres per game. All while tackling at almost 93%.
Only being suspended via an early season hip drop denied him the most obvious of Rookie of the Year honours.
