With the off-season comes the usual troupes.

Talk of expansion, the divisions talk, player movements and of course post-season rankings.

Today we're here to focus on the rankings. More specifically, the NRL lock rankings from 2023.

Please keep in mind that these rankings are based only on 2023. Both NRL and Origin performances will be taken into account. Not specifically who is the best lock outright.

Before we start, I'm going to take a moment to answer some of the usual questions to appear in the comments to any sort of rankings.

Do I even watch football? Yes, every game.

Are my eyes painted on? No. That would be funny though.

Who am I? Just a fan.

With that said, below are the top 10 NRL locks based purely and totally on 2023:

Honorable Mention: Victor Radley, Adam Elliott

3. Tohu Harris

I am convinced that Tohu Harris has access to the fountain of youth because he flatly refuses to slow down or age in any way.

The 31 year-old was majestic this season for the Warriors in playing a huge part in their rise and return to Finals footy.

He ran out 23 times for three tries, seven line-break assists, almost 140 run metres per game and completed almost 94% of his massive amount of tackles.

Harris, a leader on and off the park, really personified the Warriors in 2023. He was often brilliant, always good and has an unmeasurable amount of heart.
