Top 10 as of round 16
24 - Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys) (won't have added much, his lead will keep him in it)
18 - Paul Gallen (Sharks) (won't have added much, out of the race)
15 - Kieran Foran (Sea Eagles) (will have added plenty of points)
15 - Billy Slater (Storm) (will have added plenty of points)
14 - Cameron Smith (Storm) (will have added plenty of points)
13 - Benji Marshall (Tigers) (will have added plenty of points)
12 - Chris Sandow (Rabbitohs) (will have added plenty of points)
11 - Cooper Cronk (Storm) (will have added some point, but not enough, especially with his injury, out of the race)
11 - Glenn Stewart (Sea Eagles) (will have added a fair few point, but not enough, out of the race)
11 - Corey Parker (Broncos) (will not have added enough points, out of the race)
Benji is a big chance, but it's wide open, Thurston, Foran, Sandow, Smith and Slater are all in with a real chance too.
