The player market heading into the 2018 season was crazy. I can't remember a season where so much big name talent changed clubs and made such a big impact.
Although some big name recruits failed to live up to their reputation, there have been some incredible signings.
Below we look at the top 10 recruits from 2017 into the 2018 season. The below is based on form, results and impact on the club they joined.
Let us know if (and why) we have it wrong in the comments below.
2. Ben Hunt (Dragons)
A few readers will no doubt point to his sub-par Origin two performance but in truth Hunt's season should be judged more on the fact he's completely transformed the Dragons. The Red V's form of late has slipped slightly but they still remain firmly in the top four and that comes on the back of work from Hunt and Widdop. Hunt's ability to control the game has allowed Widdop to free himself up to carve openings for his outside backs. He has 13 try assists, ten line break assists, four tries and 11 forced drop outs. Good return.
