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
6. Te Maire Martin
Shaun Johnson's late heroics largely stole the headlines but the efforts of Te Maire Martin was the main man in Warriors colours this season.
His 16 games saw him cross for five tries, lay on 16 try assists, create 14 line-breaks, force eight dropouts, run for over 80 metres per game and tackle at over 86%.
The Warriors massively underperformed in 2024 but it certainly had little to do with TMM's efforts. I'd argue he looked better in the seven than Johnson.
A potential halves combination with Luke Metcalf next season is one that excited this rugby league fan.
