Yeah ok, that&#8217;s your job. Lose a game? Hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>We are in a golden age of elite halfbacks right now. You&#8217;ll notice the teams who don&#8217;t feature here, shockingly, also didn&#8217;t have great seasons overall.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty simply stuff: halfback good = team good!<\/p>\n<p>Today we are going to try and rank the best halfbacks from the 2025 season. This always goes well.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, this is ranked purely on 2025 performance and isn&#8217;t necessarily just a best halfbacks in the game list.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerotackle.com\/players\/tom-dearden\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Dearden<\/a>, we ran him in the five-eighths rankings a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the Top 10 halfbacks from the 2025 season:<\/p>\n<p>10.

He had four against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerotackle.com\/nrl\/teams\/melbourne-storm\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Melbourne Storm<\/a> in Round 21, his third game back from injury.<\/p>\n<p>The only game he didn&#8217;t score a try was his game against the Eels, where he left the game after seven minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Walker returned and the Roosters suddenly became world beaters again.
