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.
Wests Tigers
Adam Doueihi
Adam Doueihi has become somewhat of a must have when picking the Tigers team each week. When Doueihi was out, the Tigers struggled to attack and it's clear to see how much attack Doueihi provides.
Doueihi is stamping his mark in this Tigers team, and he relishes the power to lead this side at halfback.
Jarome Luai
Luai comes with experience and a level head that was required for this young Tigers squad. Luai has added valuable ability and playmaking that allows other players to play off the back.
When the half enters a room he lights it up and inspires those around him which is a particularly important skill to have in any football side.
Alex Twal
Twal is the heart of and soul of the Wests Tigers providing power, skill and a thirst for success.
Twal lives and breathes this team and works his butt off to make sure the Tigers are in a position to win or at least progress. Although not the flashiest player, Twal brings friendship, a hunger for Rugby League and a desire that cannot be matched.
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.
