\n <\/p>\n

NRL<\/a> second rowers don’t receive anywhere near the accolades they deserve.<\/p>\n

Their role dictates they’re not going to record the massive run metres of their middle forward counterparts.<\/p>\n

They don’t have the line-breaks of the centres, or the attacking stats of the halves they spend their time protecting.<\/p>\n

We are here today to celebrate and rank the best in the second row position.<\/p>\n

The class on show across the competition really is emphasised by the names who do not make this list.<\/p>\n

Sharks and international second rower Briton Nikora<\/a> wasn’t even shortlisted. Injury robbed us of a Haumole Olakau’atu<\/a> entry.<\/p>\n

As per the other lists, this is based purely on 2025 performance. It isn’t just a blanket best second rower in the competition list.<\/p>\n

With that said, below are the top ten second rowers from the 2025 season:<\/p>\n

Honourable Mentions: Zac Hosking & Kulikefu Finefeuiaki<\/p>\n

10. Jaydn Su’A<\/p>\n

Very few Dragons fans can look at their 2025 efforts and truly be happy. Jaydn Su’A<\/a> is very much one of those few!<\/p>\n

An 80-minute player, almost every week, the Dragons and Samoan second rower did literally everything within his power for the Red V this year.<\/p>\n

Across his 18 tries he scored four tries, produced 35 offloads, ran for 124 metres per game and tackled at over 92%.<\/p>\n

Su’A is the kind of player and person the Dragons need to rebuild around.<\/p>\n
