There is no more important position in rugby league than the halfback.
The difference between an average, or even good halfback and an elite halfback but create a massive gap between sides.
This is going to be a difficult list to compile due to a number of top tier halfbacks having suffered long term injuries in 2024.
Please remember that this list is based purely on 2024 performances.
Below are the top ten halfbacks from 2024:
Honourable Mentions: Shaun Johnson, Jamal Fogarty
7. Nicho Hynes
Rugby league fans have a short memory. All the garbage that comes about due to Hynes late season struggled seem to overpower his ridiculous start to the season.
Hynes, plagued by a horror injury managed 18 games for two tries, 13 try assists, 14 line-break assists, over 105 run metres per game and a tackle percentage of over 90%.
He was one game off the Dally M lead prior to his Origin selection, which for the second straight season derailed both he and the Sharks.
The off-season should allow Hynes to re-find himself and silence those lazy critics who can't look past a slow end to the season.
