After the NRL’s most eligible bachelor was snapped up by Australia’s soccer sweetheart, it’s begged the question who’s left on the market?
Here’s the 20 most eligible Sydney NRL bachelors.
Nicho Hynes
The man with the most recognisable hair and smile in the game, Nicho is undoubtedly the NRL’s Mr Nice Guy.
The Dally M Medal winner is devoted to his community, club and family.
Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii
Never far from the headlines in 2023, Suaalii is set to be one of the highest paid athletes in the country when he moves to rugby union in 2025.
Still just 20-years-old, Suaalii is known for a mature head on young shoulders. He was recently spotted at the beach with a female companion, but their relationship status is unconfirmed.
Ryan Matterson
Not shy of getting his rig out, Matterson is recognised as having one of the best physiques in the competition.
The backrower co-founded Meraki Disability Support, a service which helps cultivate social, emotional and physical skills.
Angus Crichton
Another player who has been on rugby union’s radar for a big-money switch, Crichton has been a fan favourite for years.
The 27-year-old is the founder of the First People Project, a mentoring program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys and girls at boarding school.
Jai Arrow
The representative forward may love bruising blokes on the field, but off it he’s a proud dog dad and can’t get enough of his best mates Rocky and Koda.
Arrow also does work for disability charity What Ability.
Brandon Smith
Making a big money move from Melbourne to the Eastern Suburbs in 2023, ‘cheese’ is undoubtedly one of the modern game’s big characters.
Can a Bondi native manage to win his heart?
Zac Lomax
A potential future captain at the Dragons, Lomax is no stranger to high profile relationships, having previously dated NRLW star Jessica Sergis.
Though it’s understood the Temora native is back on the market.
Reed Mahoney
The crafty hooker made a high profile move from Parramatta to Canterbury-Bankstown this year and was named the club’s captain.
A succulent Chinese meal was enough for the Bulldogs to snare their man, could a local lady use the same move to secure him as well?
Adam Doueihi
An injury plagued couple of seasons for the rangy five-eighth would have been frustrating for the talented Lebanese international.
A new love interest could bring new luck on the field.
Campbell Graham
One of the most consistent players in the completion, it’s rare Graham, arguably the best defensive centre since Matt Cooper, lets the people beside him down.
A great trademark to have as a potential partner.
Sam Walker
Smilin’ Sam Walker had a rollercoaster season for the Tricolours, could a partner help stabilise him?
Walker, still just 21, has been tipped for stardom for nearly a decade and many still believe he’s a Origin player in waiting.
Dylan Brown
On his day, Brown is one of the most dangerous players in the game and electrifies the Eels like few others can.
Could a better half help him find that spark more regularly?
Jacob Kiraz
A fan favourite at Canterbury, Kiraz is a wholehearted player who recently re-signed long-term with the Bulldogs.
The Lebanese international is understood to be single.
Jason Saab
A modern speed machine, Saab leaves fans breathless when he’s in full flight down the touchline.
Can he produce the same for someone he fancies?
Blayke Brailey
Managed to keep a handsome lid despite playing 80 minutes week in, week out with the big boppers in the middle of the field.
His brother, fellow NRL hooker Jayden, was engaged earlier this year. Is Blayke keen to follow suit?
Daniel Tupou
One of the most consistent players of the last decade, Tupou is beloved by teammates and fans alike.
David Nofoaluma
Could be the greatest finisher in the history of the Wests Tigers. Finals football with the club is Nofoaluma’s main desire.
Billy Smith
Robbed of countless games through knee injuries at the start of his career, Smith was finally able to string some matches together for the Roosters in 2023.
Hayze Perham
Another player who made the switch from Parramatta to Canterbury, Perham has found a home in the kennel.
Tyrell Sloan
A natural footballer who relies on instinct and speed, could be anything if he can pull it all together as he matures.
