As the league pauses for the international break, Mamelodi Sundowns continue to flex their dominance, yet this time their supremacy faces genuine threats — not only from traditional rivals Orlando Pirates but also from a handful of ambitious challengers determined to close the gap.

With the campaign only beginning to gather full momentum, here's a look at some of the standout performers who have already left their mark this season.

Bradley Grobler

The former SuperSport United striker has been central to his new club's impressive rise to the top of the Betway Premiership during the early stages of the campaign with his six goals. The experienced forward has provided Eric Tinkler with the cutting edge in front of goal that could prove vital over the course of the season.

Even though Babina Noko have recently suffered a dip in form, Tinkler will take comfort in Grobler's fitness and consistency.
