The Sydney Morning Herald are running a series of articles this week nominating, in the opinion of its judges, the top 50 players in the NRL for this coming season.
The panel of judges - Andrew Johns, Darren Lockyer, Brad Fittler, Allana Ferguson, Emma Lawrence, Danika Mason, Roy Masters, Andrew Webster, Michael Chammas and Andrew Pengilly.
They arrived at the list by each judge voting for his/her top 30 players, with each being given points (e.g. Player No. 1 gets 30 points, Player No. 2 gets 29 points, down to player no. 30 getting 1 point). They the added up all the points and voila the list. They noted in the initial article(source: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/best-of-the-best-the-top-50-players-in-the-nrl-20240218-p5f5u1.html), where points were tied "we sorted it by alphabetical order."
This is from today's article (source: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/best-of-the-best-the-top-50-players-in-the-nrl-20240218-p5f5u1.html).
Players ranked Nos. 41-50 -
41. Jake Trbojevic (13 points);
42. Apil Koroisau (12 points);
43. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (11 points);
44. Jack Wighton (11 points);
45. David Fifita (10 points);
46. Jeremiha Nanai (8 points);
47. Damien Cook (6 points);
48. Haumole Olakau'atu (5 points);
49. Selwyn Cobbo (4 points); and
50. Tom Flegler (4 points).
I'll post each grouping when it becomes available. As I do not have access to the article electronically, I won't be posting the blurb they have written about each player listed.
