Recruitment can make or break a season.
Late last year we broke down the best recruitment drives, the best decisions and the clubs who look set to rise as a result.
Today we look at the individual recruits.
This isn't just a "best players to move" list. This is more based on which recruits help their team the most in 2025 and beyond.
As always, this is purely an opinion and not meant to guide any life choices.
With that said, below are the Top 10 recruits for 2025:
I was extremely dissappointed in big Stefano's 2024 efforts. He looked as though he didn't want to be at the Tigers and thus didn't live up to his enormous potential.
Doesn't that just scream Craig Bellamy success story!?
Bellamy has made a career out of turning decent players into stars and you can mark Stefano Utoikamanu down as the next player to be transformed.
Utoikamanu is an Origin-level prop who has now moved into a top-two system in the competition. Watch out!
I think Lomax is too high, Dan.
If Parra intended to play him as a winger then he would be worth including in the list, but he has gone to play as a centre, a position in which – historically – he has underwhelmed.
What’s that old expression ? “Quality Mismatch” !
