With every season, we see players emerge and show everyone that they are not quite the same player that we saw in previous years.
Whether it’s a young star coming of age, or a savvy veteran returning to form, there are always huge improvements every year in the NRL.
The following is a list of the top five most improved players that we saw in the 2018 season.
4. George and Tom Burgess
What once were some of the most destructive big men in the game, the Burgess brothers had more than fallen out of form in recent years.
Being criticised often for constant errors and penalties, the Burgess twins had become what seemed to be more of a hindrance to have in the red and green than anything else.
However, in 2018 and since a few reshuffles at Redfern, it seems the twin towers have found their 2014 form once more.
With the new structures of Brisbane bound coach Anthony Seibold, George and Tom had great seasons for the Bunnies and were constantly bending opposition defensive lines and laying the platform for recent Kangaroos debutant Damien Cook.
Along with brother Sam, the twins formed a large part of the damaging South Sydney forward pack, which saw the great club return to the top four before bowing out in the Preliminary Final to the eventual premiership winning Roosters.
