The 2025 NRL season is less than a month away and every team will look to rely on their back-line and playmakers to kick-start the attack when they get the ball in their hands.

Ahead of the season's opening match in Las Vegas, Zero Tackle examines the top seven backs and playmaker to watch during the 2025 NRL season.

5. Brian To'o (Penrith Panthers)

A consistent performer, To'o will be key to Penrith's attack.

To'o maintained his high standards in 2024, leading the league in post-contact meters and proving crucial to Penrith's go-forward.

With several experienced players departing, To'o's role in getting the Panthers on the front foot will be more important than ever in 2025.
