Every year, NRL players partake in a game of musical chairs, swapping chairs and switching jerseys as each club looks to build a premiership-winning roster for next season.

Some clubs grow stronger, some fall away, even Penrith who are built on their junior system were forced to recruit from outside. Every single side has a weakness they're looking to cover, a hole in their outfit.

So which player will change your club's fortunes in 2023? A superstar or a young gun, a toiler or someone flashy?

Here is every club's biggest signature for the upcoming NRL season.

10. Newcastle Knights

Jackson Hastings

The Newcastle Knights arguably have the most underrated recruitment drive across the competition heading into 2023, but no player headlines the list more than Jackson Hastings.

The former Tiger doesn't just deliver the ability to build pressure and kick into the corners, he delivers leadership to a club that's crying out for it more than any other side.

Maturity, the ability to hold yourself and those close to you to a level of standards, Hastings will drag these young Knights into some consistency, and hopefully for Newcastle fans, some victories as well.

  1. Oregon Kaufusi is the only “name” player Cronulla has bought, but Kevin Iro’s son, Kayal, has more potential to show some X-factor for the Sharks.
