This time of year is always crazy when it comes to the market and potential player movement, but this year has been especially insane.

Some of the money on offer is ridiculous, but the most outrageous talk in the media to date may very well be the talk of the Wests Tigers "Big Four".

It has set tongues wagging, with many agreeing that, with all due respect to the likes of Moses and Brooks, they likely wouldn't be a "Big Four" at many other clubs.

For fun, we have ranked each team's "Big Four". There is no set criteria here, and the players listed below aren't necessarily the best four players in the squad, but in my mind, make up their club's supposed "Big Four".

Sydney Roosters

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JULY 18: Mitchell Pearce of the Roosters looks to pass during the round 19 NRL match between the Sydney Roosters and the Cronulla Sharks at Allianz Stadium on July 18, 2016 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Mark Kolbe/Getty Images)

Mitchell Pearce, Boyd Cordner, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jake Friend

For all the jokes about Mitchell Pearce at Origin level, there are few halves with the ability and success of the Roosters number seven. How many minor premierships did he lead the club to in a row? (Three for the record).

Boyd Cordner is the next Origin skipper, there's absolutely no question as far as I am concerned.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, on his day, is the premier front rower in the game. Few can change a game's momentum like the Kiwi colossus.

Jake Friend is THE most underrated number nine in the game.
