Phil ‘Buzz’ Rothfield reveals his top-50 NRL players for 2023

Phil Rothfield has revealed his top 50 players for 2023 and two clubs can’t even get a single player on the list. See full countdown and have your say.

Phil Rothfield's top-50 players for 2023.

Grand finalists Penrith and the Broncos dominate the NRL’s top-50 players, a list of stars selected on form this year rather than reputation.

The usual top 10 players, Cameron Munster, Latrell Mitchell, James Tedesco and Cody Walker have dramatically slipped down the pecking order.

Two clubs – St George Illawarra and the Canterbury Bulldogs – don’t have a player.

The easiest selection was Nathan Cleary at number one after arguably the greatest grand final performance from a halfback in the history of the game.
