The NRL finals series is swiftly approaching, where teams go up another gear in the fight for the premiership trophy, separating the elite from the rest.
Many stars have established themselves in NRL folklore during some of the heroics made during a sudden-death final.
Here are the players who are set to feature in this year's finals race you'd want on your side during an elimination match to ensure victory.
3. Herbie Farnworth
Establishing himself as one of the most damaging centres in the game, Farnworth is an elite attacking threat whose constant agility and offload pressure makes him a nightmare for opposition centres.
Farnworth has flourished in the Dolphins backline this year, and in 22 appearances he has recorded 12 tries, 12 line breaks, a herculean 143 tackle breaks averaged over 160 metres per game.
His presence elevates those around him, and the Dolphins can simply just pass him the ball and he will create something from nothing.
The British international is ready to return to finals footy after a hiatus since the 2023 Grand Final, showcasing a dominant display against the Roosters last weekend, a side many tipped to raise the trophy in October.
Farnworth finished the 26-12 upset with 200 run metres, 80 of those post-contact, one try and five tackle breaks against some of the best defence in the competition.
The Dolphins will be ready to unleash Farnworth in the play-offs in their strike back line.
