Halfback: Cooper Cronk (Melbourne Storm)

After inking a deal to stay in Melbourne until the end of the 2018 season, Cooper Cronk this season has shown exactly why he was so sought after.

The 32-year-old has broken the 10 try barrier for the first time in his career, and has also amassed 17 try assists, which sees the Queensland halfback sit third in the league in that category.

Cronk's ability to run the show both offensively and defensively has been a joy to watch this season, which is why he's one of the favourites for the Dally M Medal.

Honourable mentions: Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys), Shaun Johnson (Warriors), Ben Hunt (Broncos), Moses Mbye (Bulldogs)
