Much like the wing position, I'd argue that the role of the centre has never been more important.
The complete, modern day NRL centres are running machines, aggressive in defence, fleet of foot and able to put a winger over the try line in seemingly untouchable circumstances.
We are blessed to be enjoying one of the greatest centre crops of all time. Some of the names who missed the cut on this list can consider themselves very unlucky.
With that said, below are the Top 10 centres from 2024.

Again, this is not a list of the top ten centres but is based purely on efforts in 2024.
Honourable Mentions: Jake Averillo and Paul Alamoti
3. Jesse Ramien
The Sharks centre must have missed out on Team of the Year honours by the slimmest or margins.
Ramien was in everything that was good for the Sharks in 2024. His performances were massive while he also largely cut out the brain snaps of the past.
Across his 24 games he crossed for six tries, had 13 try assists, 11 line-breaks, 84 tackle breaks and 163 run metres per game.
Unfortunately, Ramien missed some key games for the Sharks, and no one in the squad was capable of covering his absence. That says everything about his talents.
