With the home and away season winding towards a conclusion, opportunities for teams to break into the eight are rapidly declining.
For some clubs, fantasies of playing finals this season were dashed long ago, but for others, the dream is still alive - albeit fleetingly.
Each team outside the eight is far from the finished product. They all require an injection of talent in at least one major position on the field.
Whilst contemplating these gaps, we found ourselves pondering a hypothetical question โ if each club outside the eight could select one legend to help boost their finals chances, who would they choose?
After scouring the stats, team sheets and possibilities, these were the champions we thought would make the best additions.
Gold Coast Titans
Preston Campbell
The Gold Coast Titans have been open about their rebuild and it is clear to every league fan that they are desperate for quality across most of the team list.
When pondering who their pick would be, it was only natural that Scott Prince's name came to mind. However, with the Titans' aim more than likely to aide the maturation of Ashley Taylor in the position, we went in a different direction.
As an inaugural Titan, Preston Campbell was undoubtedly tasked with creating and maintaining the club's culture.
With damaging ability and wise head on his shoulders, Campbell would not only aide Taylor's progression, but that too of the entire roster.
With Campbell hypothetically back within the four walls of the club, he would be able to re-inject the values he constructed to this new breed of fledgling Titans.
