Adam Doueihi (Tigers) \u2014 +6.95<\/p>\n<p>As aforementioned, Doueihi has been excellent in 2026 and his running game has been a major factor in leading Benji Marshall\u2019s side to third place after seven rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Even while carrying injury niggles, Doueihi was able to break the line with ease and has been a nightmare for defensive lines, considering he can kick, run or put his teammates into space.<\/p>\n<p>2. Tanah Boyd (Warriors) \u2014 +6.19<\/p>\n<p>Who say this one coming?<\/p>\n<p>Tanah Boyd has been simply excellent for the Warriors and deserves his spot on this list, especially considering his form to start the season.<\/p>\n<p>The former Titan has been so good, many are calling for him to retain the No.7 long-term and Andrew Webster even handed Luke Metcalf the No.6 when he returned.<\/p>\n<p>3. Jahrome Hughes (Storm) \u2014 +6.15<\/p>\n<p>Jahrome Hughes has quietly been putting together a solid season and has still been one of the Storm\u2019s best in 2026, despite an ugly slump with Melbourne sitting in 15th.<\/p>\n<p>A significant portion of their attack comes through Hughes, and his combination with fullback Sua Fa\u2019alogo has been lethal.<\/p>\n<p>Braith: &#8220;Have some balls!&#8221; | 01:41<\/p>\n<p>4. Jamal Fogarty (Sea Eagles) \u2014 +5.5<\/p>\n<p>Jamal Fogarty endured a slow start in his time at the Sea Eagles, but under Kieran Foran has been excellent, helping Manly to surge back into the top eight.<\/p>\n<p>The experienced halfback has done an excellent job steering his side around the park and his kicking game in particular has been a highlight.<\/p>\n<p>5. Jayden Campbell (Titans) \u2014 +4.93<\/p>\n<p>When the Titans score points, it\u2019s a fair guess that Jayden Campbell is involved.<\/p>\n<p>The Gold Coast playmaker is consistently strong and hardly puts in a big performance, with his running game, like Doueihi, being the best factor of his skillset which he has put to use this season.<\/p>\n<p>6. Lachlan Galvin (Bulldogs) \u2014 +4.62<\/p>\n<p>Lachlan Galvin has found his feet in recent weeks, with arguably his best performance to date coming in an upset victory over the Panthers.<\/p>\n<p>The young gun\u2019s combination with Jacob Preston is forming nicely, and that pairing\u2019s attacking output will have contributed heavily to Galvin\u2019s score here.<\/p>\n<p>Get all the latest NRL news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportsmail. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/newsletter-sign-up?utm_source=NRLArticle&amp;utm_medium=TextLink&amp;utm_campaign=signup\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up now!!!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kyle treatment caused players split? | 01:22<\/p>\n<p>7. Nathan Cleary (Panthers) \u2014 +4.59<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s somewhat surprising to see Nathan Cleary this low on the list considering the Panthers\u2019 start to their 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s a testament to how strong Penrith are when their superstar halfback, who has been excellent, isn\u2019t fully dominating their Red Bull High Flyer Rankings.<\/p>\n<p>8. Tom Dearden (Cowboys) \u2014 +4.44<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have been piling on the points in their recent wins, and Tom Dearden has been a central figure in steering his side around the park.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old will have his eyes firmly fixed on Origin selection in the coming weeks, so expect his form to continue.<\/p>\n<p>9. Nicho Hynes (Sharks) \u2014 +4.41<\/p>\n<p>Nicho Hynes has been solid for the Sharks to start this season, with his halves partner Braydon Trindall tallying a score of +4.04 so far.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a testament to how much that pairing share the load, with Cronulla incredibly dependent on both of their playmakers to produce points.<\/p>\n<p>MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n<p>BURNING Qs: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2026-burning-questions-from-shane-flanagans-axing-who-will-replace-him-dragons-next-coach-what-does-it-mean-for-kyle-flanagan-rugby-league-news-reaction\/news-story\/89f198d0c015744d939da5750a4a3e1a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Dominoes to fall after Flanno axing; ugly recruitment truth laid bare<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TEAM TIPS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2026-round-8-team-tips-ins-and-outs-teams-opinion-analysis-shane-flanagan-fired-dragons-valentine-holmes-who-will-replace-payne-haas-rugby-league-news\/news-story\/87bda7015c0b5b1ba6b96a44f5c2e699\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Dragons\u2019 clean-out on the cards after Flanno sacking; Bulldogs\u2019 huge boost <\/a><\/p>\n<p>CONTENDERS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2026-who-could-replace-shane-flanagan-as-next-head-coach-at-the-dragons-ben-hornby-dean-young-michael-ennis-brad-arthur\/news-story\/0c210342ed6f5e9d4e2e1f11f275ad4d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Why obvious choice isn\u2019t a lock for the job<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Players need to pull their fingers out&#8217; | 01:24<\/p>\n<p>10.

Instead, each player is ranked relative to their PSV, a model which measures how much each player contributes to the final scoreboard.<\/p>\n<p>The system processes more than 15,000 data points per game, analysing every run, pass, kick, error and penalty as the game unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>The model is based on deriving the intrinsic value of every single action that occurs in a match relative to the final scoreboard using a proprietary AI model.<\/p>\n<p>It means that every moment in the game is assessed based on how it changes a team\u2019s likelihood of scoring.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if an action such as a linebreak or linebreak assist improves the chance of points, the player responsible gains PSV.<\/p>\n<p>If they concede a penalty or drop the ball, however, it reduces the chance and their PSV decreases accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>These changes are tracked across the entire game to produce a total performance value for every player, allowing them to be ranked based on their overall impact on the game rather than just traditional statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Because every action is valued on the same scale, PSV allows players across different positions to be compared fairly and highlights the moments that have the biggest influence on the result.<\/p>\n<p>Now, of course, there is going to be some variation among positions as forwards generally build their scores through repeated involvements such as runs and tackles while spine players and outside backs are more involved in scoring actions and hence likelier to see bigger spikes in their score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tigers are flying high despite a tight loss to the Broncos in Round 7, and their reliable&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-620686","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
