Three NRL debuts were handed out in 2019, while seven new recruits made their club debuts throughout the season.

In addition, Reimis SmithMarcelo MontoyaBronson Garlick and Michael Lichaa all played their 100th club game.

Kieran Foran (199) only needs one more game to reach 200 NRL games, while Josh Jackson (184) is on track to reach the milestone in the second last round of the new look competition.
