No. 25 Josh Dugan - Raiders
Brilliant rookie who transferred his Toyota Cup form to the big stage.
No. 24 Luke O'Donnell - Cowboys
Powerful lock who was arguably the Cowboys' best performer this season.
No. 23 Corey Parker - Broncos
Hard working back rower who played all but nine minutes of the Broncos season.
No. 22 Gareth Ellis - Tigers
The English import proved his class producing a memorable for season in the NRL.
No. 21 Trent Waterhouse - Panthers
After a number of seasons disrupted by injury returned to his devastating best.
No. 20 Ben Hannant - Bulldogs
Enjoyed a stellar year at the Bulldogs and was also heroic playing while hurt for Queensland.
No. 19 Scott Prince - Titans
Didn't scale the heights of last season, but was still one of the most energetic playmakers in the competition.
No. 18 Ben Creagh - Dragons
Had a superb season on the Dragons' left fringe and took that form with him to the Origin arena.
No. 17 Kurt Gidley - Knights
Heart and soul performer for Newcastle who can be as brilliant as he is tough.
No. 16 Preston Campbell - Titans
Ageless game breaker who shows no sign of slowing down.
No. 15 Robbie Farrah - Tigers
Was consistently a handful and broke into rep football this season.
No. 14 Sam Thaiday - Broncos
Delivered his most consistent season at all levels of competition and rewarded with a Test spot.
No. 13 Michael Ennis - Bulldogs
Together with Kimmorley, powered the Bulldogs from the outhouse to the penthouse.
No. 12 Michael Jennings - Panthers
Electric speedster who enjoyed a break-out year in the NRL.
No. 11 Anthony Watmough - Sea Eagles
Damaging backrower who was Manly's best performer of the season.
No. 10 Nathan Friend - Titans
Responded to attempts by his club to sign high-priced hookers from elsewhere by delivering his finest season in the NRL. Was the Titans' most consistent performer and added extra attacking potency to his outstanding defence.
No. 9 Johnathan Thurston - Cowboys
Didn't have his best season, particularly for his club side, but remains a class act. The Cowboys will be desperate to keep him in their corral beyond the end of next season.
No. 8 Jamie Soward - Dragons
Would have been disappointed by how the Dragons finished the year, but enjoyed a breakout campaign in the NRL and was responsible for some of the most entertaining attacking raids of the regular season.
No. 7 Fuifui Moimoi - Eels
Emerging as the most damaging front rower in the game, his try in the grand final was typical of the spectacular bash and barge efforts he produced regularly for Parramatta this season
No. 6 Cameron Smith - Storm
The skipper of premiership-winning Storm, Smith again proved why he is considered the top hooker in the game. While his efforts aren't as spectacular as others in the top 10, he is vital to Melbourne, Queensland and Australia.
No. 5 Brett Kimmorley - Bulldogs
The veteran halfback was recharged by the switch to Belmore, winding back the clock to deliver a vintage campaign. Also played strongly when recalled to the Blues Origin squad. His importance to the Dogs was emphasised by their struggles when he was absent with a fractured cheekbone.
No. 4 Darren Lockyer - Broncos
The Broncos skipper underlined his standing as one of the code's premier players as he masterminded his club's late-season revival that ended one game short of the grand final. On the the verge of signing a new two-year deal to play out his career at Red Hill and has plenty left to give.
No. 3 Greg Inglis - Storm
A deserving recipient of representative player of the year honours, Inglis also showed his class for Melbourne in the biggest games of the year. His combination of power and raw speed is captivating.
No. 2 Jarryd Hayne - Eels
Rugby league has much to thank Fiji for, with Hayne's career surging to spectacular new heights after his humbling experience in camp with the Pacific Island minnows at last year's World Cup. Some of the stuff the Dally M Medallist produced as he almost single-handled propelled Parramatta to the grand final was unbelievable
No. 1 Billy Slater - Storm
The reigning RLIF player of the year was challenged strongly from a number of fronts this year, but responded as champions should. Finished with another State of Origin title, a premiership, the Clive Churchill Medal and an impressive highlight reel. There is no better, or more consistent, game breaker in the business.
I dont agree with this. What do you guys think?
