NRL players believe Shaun Johnson, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Addin Fonua-Blake are the best in their position, with the Warriors trio named in the 2023 Players’ Dream Team.
They were voted for halfback, wing and prop respectively - the first time either had been voted by their peers and selected in a Players’ Dream Team.
The team were represented by five clubs, with the Broncos featuring the most players (four), followed by the Warriors and Panthers (three), Storm (two), and the Sea Eagles (one).
Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster joins James Tedesco with the most appearances in the team, with the pair having been voted as the best players in their respective positions four times. Munster was also voted into the Dream Team by his peers in 2018, 2019, and 2022.
Broncos prop and former Warriors trial player Payne Haas joins Nathan Cleary and Cameron Smith on three appearances with his selection in 2023. Haas also becomes the first middle forward to be selected for the Dream Team three times.
