James Tedesco was able to beat Jahrome Hughes by just two votes in the race for this year's NRL MVP crown, but with all the votes compiled from every game, we can now reveal our team of the year.
Zero Tackle's MVP worked with four judges awarding votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 process during each game of the season.
To be selected in the team of the year, a player was first considered for the position they played the most games in, then that they must have played a minimum of five games in a secondary position to be considered.
Players picked on the bench had to play a minimum of five games from the interchange.
