The rugby league transfer merry-go-round occurs every year, new players come, while others go. It's part of the game and it happens to every team.
However, particular departures can leave fans wondering what could have been. We've looked at each team and picked one player they would love to have back in their jersey.
Sydney Roosters
Sonny Bill Williams
The notorious Sonny Bill Williams joined the Sydney Roosters in 2013, after years absent from the game. He received backlash for his decision to walk out on the Bulldogs in 2008, however soon after, Williams ensured he silenced the critics.
A couple of great seasons, saw Williams walk the Grand Final victory lap. He departed the game, to continue his ongoing journey, playing Rugby Union.
The influence of Sonny Bill Williams on the Rooster's side was worth the pay cheque. Teammates spoke of high regard when talking about the part-time boxer. He changed his teammates lifestyle, and vision of life, for they credited him for the premiership win.
Roosters have since struggled with players in the No. 12 jersey. But with rumours suggesting that Williams is a possibility to return for the tri-colours in 2019, that problem could be solved.
The Roosters would empty their pockets to have Williams at Bondi, after seeing his influence on and off the field. He's an incredibly gifted athlete, and an even better mentor off the field.
