I'd argue that the role of the winger has never been more important.
Fall from "catch and fall" merchants, wingers now play massive roles in not only scoring freakish tries, but helping out forwards by making mass metres.
Players such as Brian To'o have become extra forwards, routinely running for 150 metres, allowing their big men to use energy elsewhere.
Today we are looking at the top ten wing performers from 2024.

Just to clarify, this isn't a list of best wingers; it's the best performers in 2024.

9. Dominic Young
The English giant arrived at Bondi with massive wraps and expectation and fair to say he lived up to most, if not all.
Across his 22 games he scored 20 times, broke 115 tackles, made 26 line-breaks and averaged just under 140 run metres per game.
He crossed for a double, made five line-breaks and ran for over 250 metres. He was borderline unstoppable that day.
Short drop outs becoming the norm have made Young even more dangerous.
Young put in a massive shift during the 2024 season and played a huge part in the Roosters piling on massive numbers of points.
