Mid-season signings in the last few years have been a important strategy and are getting more popular than ever. NRL clubs struggling with their cap, depth or overall strike power are usually the ones to pick up and let go of the players that aren't being favoured or just not wanted at their current club.
Parramatta's salary cap saga has also overall improved the talent of the mid-season list in 2016 featuring in one signing and two losses most by any other club.
The following list will be portrayed by the mid-season signings impacts on the roster, finals chances and most importantly, winning.
Ryan Morgan
NSW cup to Melbourne Storm first grade has been a great move for Morgan. The Parramatta Eels pushed him out of the club to be able to compete for points this year.
Ryan Morgan is defensively talented which makes him fit right into the Melbourne Storm roster. Starting in the centres for Melbourne has not only improved his game but many around him. Morgan has scored two tries and assisted with another two and while mostly recognised for his defensive play, he has also received recognition for the attacking plays he has contributed to.
Originally covering for injury, Craig Bellamy has turned to starting Morgan in a full strength back line to provide assistance to the electrifying Koroibete's defensive and offensive game by being able to provide early ball. This is the sole reason why Morgan should be considered an important player in the Melbourne lineup. The team will continue to win games and ultimately contend to be potential premiership winners.
