NRL Every Club’s Best Signings in History: Including Greg Inglis …
The NRL has seen numerous legendary players switch clubs, making lasting impacts on their new teams. At South Sydney Rabbitohs, Greg Inglis stands out as one of the greatest signings in league history. Joining in 2011, Inglis helped transform the Bunnies into a premiership force, culminating in their 2014 title. For the Sydney Roosters, Cooper Cronk was pivotal, guiding them to back-to-back premierships in 2018 and 2019.
Melbourne Storm benefited enormously from Cameron Smith, but their recruitment of Billy Slater and Inglis in their early days also proved critical. Brisbane Broncos’ golden era was shaped by Allan Langer, while Newcastle Knights struck gold with Andrew Johns.
The Canterbury Bulldogs made headlines signing Sonny Bill Williams, and Manly Sea Eagles found a superstar in Jamie Lyon. The Cronulla Sharks celebrated success thanks to James Maloney’s leadership.
Parramatta Eels’ best might be Peter Sterling, while Canberra Raiders changed course with Mal Meninga. Wests Tigers, Gold Coast Titans, Penrith Panthers, and Warriors each had pivotal signings that defined eras, like Benji Marshall, Scott Prince, and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
These signings didn’t just add talent — they redefined clubs, reshaped legacies, and wrote NRL history.
