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.
2. Latrell Mitchell
The ultimate game-breaker.
Mitchell made his highly anticipated return on Saturday from a nerve issue stemmed back to Magic Round in May. Mitchell turns eyeballs when he's in rooms, and the same happens on the field.
Bringing aggression and a winning-attitude to the South Sydney side, Mitchell has won two premierships, represented NSW countless times while also donning the green and gold at Test level.
Mitchell's strength, leadership and X-factor are what earned him all of his representative duties since he burst onto the scene playing like a young Greg Inglis.
When the Rabbitohs are in the hurt locker in a sudden-death match, and look across to see Mitchell out on their edge, he will instill confidence into the South Sydney players to rise.
If he can swiftly get back into form in the centre position, South Sydney will be a threat that not many teams would want to visit in Week 2 of the finals.
