In terms of impact so far this year I'd have Wright at the top of the list.
The club hasn't had the opportunity anyway, given all the injuries, but it seems they've made a decision that they don't want to just automatically blood the young players and use a sink or swim mentality, they actually want to make them earn a call up. In order to do that we needed to improve our depth and find recruits that would slot in ahead of the young guys and make them work extremely hard to steal their spot. Wright fits the bill perfectly and has been contributing in every game. He's the type of guy a Cuningham or Viojo-Rainbow should be looking at and working hard to overtake him and get his spot in the 22.
Kerridge has also been a big contributor. It's been brought up on this site by plenty of others, but he needs to work on his ball handling in traffic. At this stage he's too fumbley to take the next step to becoming a bona fide midfield lock for the next decade.
Lamb's probably another depth type. He's playing really well at the moment and is a crafty player. He lacks a bit of speed for his size and because of that limitation I think he'll be another that could be bypassed as we bring in more draftees with talent.
I'd have those 3 as the top 3 so far this year though.
I think of the ones we've seen so far, Weitering, Plowman and Curnow are the ones that will have the biggest impact on the future of this club though.
