The 27-year-old is so important to South Sydney’s premiership hopes, and he’ll be under immense pressure to not only continue his scintillating form but take his game to another level again. Jordan Rapana: Like Nicoll-Klokstad, Rapana's return game is key to getting the Raiders on the front foot early in their sets. James Tedesco (Sydney Roosters) My ranking at the beginning of 2019: 1 For the second year in a row, Tedesco is the best player in the game, and you’d be a … Maika Sivo 5. Brett Morris: The veteran winger is still a superb defender and a solid all-round player but has lost some of the pace that made him an out and out champion. 13.
