Five rounds into the 2026 NRL season and the ladder is already beginning to take shape.
The Penrith Panthers have returned to the top of the pedestal, while the Wests Tigers and Newcastle Knights have shocked everyone by sitting in the top four.
Surprisingly, last year's minor premiers and premiers, the Canberra Raiders and Brisbane Broncos respectively, both find themselves outside of the top eight.
Then languishing at the bottom are the winless St George Illawarra Dragons.
But what would happen if every club could hit the reset button on one position, just for this season?
No salary cap, no contract negotiation, no release clauses, just a free pass to draft in any rugby league player to their team.
Not necessarily the best in the game, but the right player for the right team.
So, here's who every NRL team would be stealing right now, if they could.
The Dolphins: Brian To'o
It's hard to pinpoint exactly where the Dolphins are struggling this season.
One week they will put on an electrifying performance, and the other, they'll concede 50 to a team that has just sacked their coach.
So their main issue is essentially inconsistency, and that stems from unreliability.
Interestingly, the most unreliable player at the Dolphins is Selwyn Cobbo, with eight errors in his last two games, and twelve for the season, the second most in the league.
To fix this, the Dolphins would steal the best winger and most reliable winger in the game, Brian To'o.
Having only made four errors all season, To'o would not only bring safe hands to the Dolphins backline, but also guaranteed metres.
History suggests that he will average roughly 200 run metres per game this season, with Cobbo to fall somewhere around the 150 metre mark.
While drafting in a winger wouldn't be everyone's first choice, adding a player with the quality of To'o to the Dolphins would result in great improvements.
When I saw the Broncos and our one I was crying. If this ever happened, Hughes is too old, and we CAN’T lose our skip.
Edit: Also the Knights one, if Presto doesn’t get re-signed I’ll cry for a week.
