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.

Adam Blair

When Adam Blair transferred over to Leichhardt from Melbourne, it was not only a change of environment, but also a change of lifestyle. He under-performed whilst playing for Tigers under Tim Sheens, despite captaining them in 2012.

He was regarded as one of the greatest Tigers signing, can we not forget how rich his deal was? The Tigers obviously would've expected more from Blair, however a move to Brisbane would see him restart his career.

We all sat by and watched Blair's development and growth as a player, into a leader. He's been a huge factor of Brisbane's success in the last couple of years, recently signing another rich four-year deal with the New Zealand Warriors.

Despite, recruiting Ben Matulino and Russell Packer for 2018, Wests could do with another experienced forward who could help the merged club climb up the ladder. A new and improved Blair would be one that Tigers would need, and utilise.

Wests Tigers would be pinching themselves for not giving him another chance, or perhapsLeichhardt wasn't the ideal location for Blair.
