10. Tim Taranto 

It's hard to believe 'the Bull' is only 22-year-old with how mature and dominant he is within the Greater Western Sydney engine room. Taranto has been able to step onto the level of fellow midfield guns Josh Kelly and Lachie Whitfield, averaging close to 20 touches, four tackles, four clearances in shortened quarters.

Perhaps not the face of the Giants, but this kid holds plenty of room to grow as a candidate for the club's next captain. A name rising through the stocks in Western Sydney.
