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.
Gold Coast Titans: Braydon Trindall
It's quite obvious the Gold Coast Titans attack isn't very prolific.
They average the second least amount of points per game, and there are underperforming stars such as Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, but you wouldn't draft in a forward, the Titans need a five-eighth.
Unfortunately neither the game of Lachlan Ilias or AJ Brimson properly complement Jayden Campbell.
The Titans need a half with a big boot who can help the team win field position but also lead the attack to take pressure off of Campbell.
It may be a somewhat left-field pick, but Braydon Trindall is arguably the perfect draftee.
He fits the mould, routinely displaying his ability to step up when required at the Sharks, and has a monster boot which terrorises defences.
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.
