NRLCEO DREAM TEAM ROUND 15
After 15 Rounds we are starting to see the best players of 2026 emerge. Jackson Ford is still the leader, 10 points clear of Harry Grant who is having a bounce back season. Thomas Jenkins continues to score tries for fun, sitting in third place overall. There is a Trbojevic back in the Dream Team but it is not who you think!
Fullback – Sualauvi Fa’alogo (114) – remains the premium fullback for this season and should only get better from here. The Storm are having a quiet season by their standards so imagine what Fa’alogo could score when they are firing on all cylinders.
Wingers – Thomas Jenkins (131) & Alex Johnston (121) – No changes on the wing with Milky and AJ in a ding dong battle to be the top try scorer in 2026. Jenkins (20) sits just ahead of AJ (19) after AJ crossed for 4 against the Broncos.
Centres – Latrell Mitchell (94) & Tolutau Koula (71) – Centres standards have fallen this season with no player able to crack 100pts yet. Trell was on fire but he has had enough and will sit out for a few weeks whilst Koula missed one match after his Origin KO but has done enough to be the next best centre.
Five Eighth – Braydon Trindall (113) – Trindall has been on fire, scoring 46 points in 4 matches to move into top position at five eighth. With Hynes out injured, he has stepped up to lead the Sharks attack and it is paying huge dividends for owners.
Halfback – Nathan Cleary (121) – Cleary is on track to set a personal best NRLCEO season, needing just 40 more points to eclipse his 2021 season which saw him score 160. With the Panthers rolling through teams, the only thing that could stop him is the resting during the Origin series and before the NRL finals.
Front Rowers – Jackson Ford (142 MVP) & Terrell May (108) – Ford shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to play big minutes to cover injuries and Origin reps in the Warriors pack. May has had a big month, scoring 46 points in 4 matches including 2 x DWH and a TWH.
Hooker – Harry Grant (132) – Grant is far and away the best dummy half this season with the next best being Damien Cook on 85 points, a massive 47 point gap. You would expect Grant to continue his strong form as he tries to lead the Storm into the finals after their slow start to the season.
Back Rowers – Heilum Luki (124) & Ben Trbojevic (110) – Luki is having a career best NRLCEO season, scoring a WH in every game he has played, including a DWH. How good is it to see Ben Trbojevic shine outshine his brothers in a breakout season in the back row.,
Lock – Xavier Willison (100) – The Broncos X-Man has had a powerful season, overtaking Alex Twal who is out injured. Willison has had to cover for both Haas and Carrigan who have been out injured and he has led from the front. Expect big things from him in 2027!
Bench Forwards – Haumole Olakau’atu (104) & Hudson Young (103) – The starting back rowers for NSW in Game 1 and both having strong seasons. Haumole has turned his form around completely under the guidance of Keiran Foran, running for huge metres and getting more involved in attack. Young continues to be a focus for the Raiders but their fall off in form this year is pushing his overall numbers down.
Bench Backs – Jahrome Hughes (108) & Scott Drinkwater (101) – Hughes has 18 TA’s this season which is only one short of his 2025 tally. Drinkwater is always an attacking presence and is being aided by the Cowboys solid form in 2026.
