David Nofoaluma
If you need any evidence that Nofoaluma is a star of the future, you need only witness the stunning try he scored against Manly in Round 20\. Leaping high to haul in a chip kick with the defence looming, Nofoaluma’s body was flying over the sideline but in an incredible display of athleticism he managed to plant the ball one-handed before he hit the ground. That try will always remain a career highlight but no doubt there will be many more to come – in nine games he has scored seven tries, averaged 113 metres and made 55 tackle-breaks.
James Tedesco
After overcoming a horrific injury suffered in his NRL debut last year, Tedesco has started to repay the faith shown in him at the Tigers with a series of impressive displays in 2013\. Ironically, the club’s crippling injury toll has seen him take on great responsibility this year but he has been a standout with an average 106 metres per game and 36 tackle-breaks. Renowned as a brilliant support player.
Jack Buchanan
Young prop Buchanan was thrown to the wolves at the start of the season as injuries decimated the Wests Tigers’ forward pack, but he looked right at home from the outset despite being the youngest starting prop in the NRL. An old-fashioned front-rower who loves to just roll forward, he is one of only two Tigers to have played all 18 games so far in 2013.
