The Sydney Roosters boast six of the top ten signings of the last ten years with the only player stopping them from taking the first five positions being a former Rooster in Latrell Mitchell who left the club for cross-town rivals South Sydney.

James Tedesco, Cooper Cronk, Mitchell, Sonny Bill Williams and Luke Keary round out the top five with other Roosters in James Maloney (6th) and Brandon Smith (10) also making the top ten.

Of the 100 signings on the list from season 2013 onward, there are no less 12 players snapped up by the Bondi club which features SBW on two occasions.

Cronulla-Sutherland also finished with 12 signings – four of them in the top 15.

Despite only being in their NRL infancy, the Dolphins (Felise Kaufusi and Jesse Bromwich) finished with the least amount alongside Manly-Warringah (Martin Taupau and Dylan Walker).

Melbourne lost the most star power over the last ten years, draining 12 players to rivals with the Broncos (10) and the Panthers (9) not far behind.

James Maloney also makes the list three times.

Some notable (or forgettable) omissions include Parramatta’s signings of Kieran Foran and Anthony Watmough, Ryan Matterson Roosters / Wests Tigers transfer and and Glenn Stewart’s voyage across the bridge from Manly to Redfern.
