Post season positional rankings are always fun and create a plethora or discussion.
Today we look at the best wide forwards in the competition.
Typically one of the more difficult to rank due to the different types of second rowers.
Some are attacking, wrecking balls, other are defensive specialists while others are workhorses.
Again, this list is based purely off of 2024 performances and aren't necessarily just the ten best second rowers in the game.
Below are the top ten second rowers from 2024:
4. Liam Martin
If this list were formulated purely on big games, Martin would be number one by some distance.
His Grand Final heroics were the stuff of legend, while his Origin performances were top notch.
Across his 22 games for Penrith this year he scored four tries, made five line-breaks, ran for 90 metres per game and tackled at almost 91%.
Martin's stats don't always rival some of those on this list, but I could argue that there is no more important second-rower in the game.
