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.

8. Melbourne Storm

Eliesa Katoa

While all the plaudits will write about the big season Tariq Sims is in for in his maiden season at the Storm, it's Eli Katoa that Melbourne fans should be getting excited about.

A former Warrior, Katoa shot onto the scene in 2020, however his form has been patchy since, but there's no coach to unlock his ability like Craig Bellamy.

An excellent hole runner, watch this nimble forward hit his straps running outside Jahrome Hughes all season, definitely a name for the little black book.

  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.
