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.

Dolphins

Isaiya Katoa
Katoa is going to be something special in rugby league - the kid can play. Katoa has become the most important player to the Dolphins in their brief history and is consistently improving his craft.

When it comes to quality playmakers, Katoa is moving himself into a status among the greats of this generation and the comparisons with legends of the game are beginning.

Herbie Farnworth
There are none greater in the modern game than Herbie when it comes to elite centres.

The way in which Farnworth has improved his game and become one of the most valuable assets to this Dolphins outfit is incredible.

Farnworth is a threat anywhere on the field and whether he's running on the left or out the back to the right, Herbie can score anywhere.

The value that Herbie brings to this Dolphins outfit is second to none and he will go down as one of the best centres all time.

Jamayne Isaako
When it comes to wingers, they are skillful players who do their job of scoring tries but can be replaced quite easily.

Isaako is not that winger and adds extreme value to this Dolphins team.

Not only is Jamayne and incredible finisher when scoring tries but he is an elite goal kicker too.
