The journey began in Las Vegas at the start of March.
Now after 27 rounds, the NRL regular season is about to come to an end.
By Sunday night every team will have played 24 matches, but as final team lists came out on Tuesday afternoon, they revealed that only a select group of players will have featured in every game for their clubs this season.
It’s quite a feat of physical endurance in the modern game, faster and more physically demanding than ever before—not to mention being able to maintain the requisite form to keep being selected by their coaches for six brutal months, while also avoiding suspensions.

So, here we dip our lids to the most durable and indispensable NRL first-graders of 2025.
Which NRL players have featured in every game for their clubs in 2025?
In total, 40 players have featured in every match this season from the total pool of 510 listed NRL players (top 30)—that’s just seven percent.
The Sharks boasts the most players with five, aided no doubt by a lack of State of Origin involvement, while the Panthers and Titans are the only clubs to have zero players on the list.
Special mention must also go to Jai Arrow and Tallis Duncan who have defied all the odds to weather the 2025 injury storm at the Rabbitohs.
Here’s the full list.
