With the NRL season well and truly underway, and the competition heating up, it is time to look at who are the three most important players at every club around the competition.
From players who are Origin stars and in form, to others who have missed the mark this year but still hold the keys to their entire team's operation, these are the players your team can simply not perform without.
Sam Walker
Walker has changed his game over the past few seasons since coming into first grade. Walker used to be quite erratic and struggled a lot with his decision making at halfback.
Fast forward five years and Sam Walker has become an extremely important player for the Roosters.
Walker not only plays incredible ad lib football but can score tries at will, set up tries for fun and has one of the best short kicking games in the competition.
State of Origin has made Walker's game even better and has elevated him from a good halfback to a great one.
Mark Nawaqanitawase
Few players can do what Marky Mark can, the guy is a freak who can score tries from 20 metres out, running down the sideline and flicking the ball back in.
Over his two seasons of rugby league, Nawaqanitawase has scored some incredible tries. When Mark does not play the Roosters do not often win, that is how important he has become,
I think that Manly need Luke Brooks more than Turbo.
Certainly Turbo – on his day – can win a game for Manly; but those days are few and far between now. Tom T might better be called TooOftenInjuredBo rather than Turbo, these days.
