There's been an influx of Englishmen to the NRL in recent years and 2019 is no exception. Raiders fans can look forward to seeing John Bateman and Ryan Sutton running out for the Green Machine, while Roosters fans will get to see Ryan Hall in the NRL at long last.
Some Super League exports have been welcome additions such as Josh Hodgson and Elliot Whitehead, while other players you've probably forgotten about, like Jordan Turner and Greg Eden.
Sadly they can't all be the next Sam Burgess or James Graham, but here are five current Super League stars who could shine in the NRL if they decide to head Down Under.
5. Oliver Gildart
This 22 year-old Wigan centre burst on to the scene in 2015 and hasn't looked back since.
In just his 7th first grade game he was a Grand Final runner-up, but the following year he went one better, collecting his first Grand Final winners ring and scoring a try in the process.
In 2017 he crossed the tryline in the World Club Challenge win over Cronulla Sharks, and he added another try at Wembley later on in the year as Wigan narrowly lost to Hull FC in the Challenge Cup Final.
His performances throughout the season led to him being named Super League Young Player of the Year in 2017. 2018 was another outstanding year for Gildart as he picked up his 2nd Grand Final winners medal and scored a try on his England debut against New Zealand.
At such a young age, he's got plenty of time on his side if he fancies a crack at the NRL and his ability to play in the centres or out wide would appeal to a lot of coaches.
With his electric pace he reminds me a bit of James Roberts when he's in full flight.

You can add Joe Wardle and Dan Sarginson to the list of pommie flops in the NRL, and we saw Joe Burgess play for the Roosters for part of the 2016 season before joining the Burgess trio at Redfern.
How is Jermaine McGillvary. Last time I saw England play, he was their best.
Definitely agree with Wardle and Sarginson, maybe the next article could be a list of flops, there’s certainly been plenty.
He’s a beast, could definitely do well in the NRL. Unfortunately he’s completely ruled out moving to Oz though for family reasons so I’ve only included players who I think might make the move at some point.
Tom johnstone best finisher in super league watch his tries on youtube if he was at wigan or saint helens he would bag 40+ a season 24 in 23 games for lesser club he scored hat trick on international debut and got 3 in friendly last weekend against hull
Whoopi …Zac Hardaker had been English Super League Man Of Steel.
Came out to Penrith for half a season. Doubt if I’ve ever seen a worse back take the field in first grade.
Sam Tompkins was one of the worst uses of salary cap I can recall!
