2024 NRL Season Player Comparisons
NSW FULLBACK
For the final time before Origin Three here is the Edwards v Tedesco story for 2024. Edwards is big on run metres but the former NSW captain has the edge in creation.
NSW HALVES
A contentious decision this one, with a number of any players making a case. Well, except for poor Nicho (who we love) he was always going to carry his second consecutive losing can for NSW. Jarome is going to good to be not considered so we left him out.
QLD ORIGIN BENCH
Billy Slater says Selwyn Cobbo being rested for Kurt Capewell is both injury and form. It better be at least 90% injury if we can take the Qld coach seriously.
NSW HOOKER / UTILITY
Is Connor Watson going to be one of the NSW one game wonders who get selected from nowhere and then blamed when they lose? Time will tell. For now, here’s his stats to see if Api Koroisau was robbed. Connor Watson if favoured for some stats as he has played as a loose forward as well as hooker.
How the Team of the Week works
Want to know how we come up with the numbers to rank the players, the below table should explain hopefully.
