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".

Cronulla Sharks

James Maloney during the 2016 NRL Grand Final match between the Cronulla Sharks and the Melbourne Storm at ANZ Stadium on October 2, 2016 in Sydney, Australia.

James Maloney, Paul Gallen, Wade Graham, Valentine Holmes

The Sharks premiership quartet is among the game's elite. James Maloney is the most successful half of the modern generation. He knows how to win. He's forgotten how to lose.

Paul Gallen cops plenty of grief but is the best lock in recent times. An Origin and club legend. There will be statues of the Shark captain erected outside Southern Cross Group Stadium in the not too distant future.

Wade Graham is the Sharks captain in waiting and a future Origin captain also. The sky is the limit for a guy who has seemingly been around for ten years.

Valentine Holmes, I dare anyone to name a more exciting player in the code.
