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:

When the Warriors lost Addin Fonua-Blake, the general feeling is that no player could replace him ... until James Fisher-Harris was announced as signing for the club.
This is the literal perfect replacement for AFB. Not only does JFH bring a similar game, but he brings experience, leadership and a winning mentality.
Set to form a fearsome front-row combination with Mitchell Barnett, I can't wait to see what the Premiership winner brings to the club.
On and off the park, the Warriors could not have added a better player or person.
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” !
