James Tedesco has made RLPA Players' Dream Team history, becoming the first player chosen by his peers six times.
The 2026 team also includes Payne Haas for a fifth appearance and Herbie Farnworth for a fourth consecutive season.
Farnworth and Nathan Cleary now have four selections each, matching Cameron Munster's total.
Braydon Trindall earned the five-eighth position after leading the NRL in try assists and helping Cronulla reach the second week of the finals.
He is Cronulla's first selection since Andrew Fifita and Valentine Holmes in 2018. Wade Graham was chosen in 2017, while Addin Fonua-Blake and Cameron McInnes represented former clubs.
The remaining selections are James Tedesco at fullback; Selwyn Cobbo and Mark Nawaqanitawase on the wings; and Herbie Farnworth and Simi Sasagi in the centres.
Nathan Cleary is halfback, Naufahu Whyte and Payne Haas are props, Wayde Egan is hooker, and Haumole Olakau'atu and Tallis Duncan are second-rowers.
Erin Clark is lock and Kurt Donoghoe the impact player. The Roosters and Dolphins supplied three selections each, while the Warriors had two.
All contracted NRL players could vote, selecting one eligible player per position outside their own team. The leading vote-getter occupied each position.
"On behalf of the RLPA, I congratulate the 14 outstanding players selected by their peers in the 2026 Players' Dream Team," said RLPA chief executive Clint Newton.
Newton said selection represented significant recognition because the players themselves determined the team and their peers respected the standards set throughout 2026.
