The outside backs have grown more and more important in recent years at both ends of the park.
Gone are the days where wingers in the NRL were simply there to finish plays, and long gone are the days when centres were seen as expendable.
Instead, wingers are required to run the ball, get sets off to a good start, break tackles and be able to pass while having incredible finishing ability.
Centres are also more important than ever, particularly in defence.
Here is every club's centres and wingers ranked.
4. South Sydney Rabbitohs
Wingers: Campbell Graham and Alex Johnston
Centres: Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton
Other options: Euan Aitken, Moala Graham-Taufa, Edward Kosi, Max McCarthy, Tyrone Munro, Isaiah Tass
The Rabbtiohs have a very, very strong centre and wing combination. Any side needing to move Campbell Graham to the wing because it works best for team balance is in a very strong position.
Their depth too is fantastic, and, here at least, among the best in the NRL.
Campbell Graham's move to the wing, as mentioned, brings South Sydney another element to their attack, while Alex Johnston will be the game's all-time try-scoring record holder at some point this year.
Latrell Mitchell is an Origin level player in the centres, and his move there with Jye Gray taking over at fullback will be exciting, while Jack Wighton rounds the group out.
Injuries will, as they have been since the club moved their operations to Maroubra, be the biggest question for Wayne Bennett and his playing group this year.
