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.
Players who played across multiple positions will be considered as long as they played more wing than other spots.
With that said, below are the top ten wingers from 2024:
Honourable Mentions: Sunia Turuva and Sione Katoa
3. Alofiana Khan-Pereira
The Titans speedster put in an almighty 2024 season. So much so that I almost put him ahead of one of the NSW Blues wingers on this list.
His 21 games for the Titans this year saw him cross for 24 tries, make 27 line-breaks and run for just under 120 metres per game.
The 22-year-old was a rare highlight in an otherwise less-than-stellar season for the Titans.
Expect huge things from the freakish flyer in 2025 and beyond.
