Three new faces who didn't feature in 2025, and a handful of other big movers.
Zero Tackle editor Scott Pryde has revealed the fourth part of his top 50 NRL players list for 2026, ranking positions 20 through 11. Raiders second-rower Hudson Young leads this section at 11th, despite suffering a late-season Achilles injury, followed closely by Dolphins winger Selwyn Cobbo at 12th. Cobbo recorded 18 tries and 93 tackle busts in 20 appearances during his debut campaign with the club.
The rankings feature breakout performers Simi Sasagi at 17th and Tallis Duncan at 16th, alongside notable risers such as Penrith forward Isaah Yeo at 20th and Cowboys fullback Scott Drinkwater at 13th. Warriors lock Erin Clark was ranked 14th after securing a contract extension, while Storm hooker Harry Grant placed 15th.
