Holmes was one of the form players of 2018 at fullback for the Sharks while Fusitu'a was among the best wingers, with Tupou not far behind. Gagai has won Origin player of the series for Queensland from the wing but had a relatively quiet season at Souths, although he was Australia's first try-scorer and top metre-getter against the Kiwis.
Fusitu'a (23) and Holmes (22) were 2018's top try-scorers while Gagai's 10 try assists and 95 busts are each the best of the four candidates on show and Tupou's 162 metres per game make him the best yardage man of the four.
Verdict: different strengths on both sides make them almost impossible to split but we'll lean towards the Tongan pair purely on their size and height advantage.
