2023 is shaping up as one of the most exciting in recent memory. A host of huge name recruits shifting clubs has ensured a more open competition than ever.

Every side enters the new season with a series of positives and weaknesses. Today we're going to focus in on those weaknesses.

It goes without saying that this was far easier with some clubs than others. That said, here is every team's weakness as we prepare for Round 1, 2023:

12. Canberra Raiders

Temperament

Canberra's forward pack is arguably the best in the game. Their fullback in a future superstar. Their five-eighth is a World Cup-winning, former Dally M winner.

Unfortunately the Green Machine can find a penalty, a sin-bin and a brain snap like few others. Meanwhile their coach called an opposition player a "weak-gutted dog" in a press conference last season.

The club are yet to overcome their "Faider" tag after losing games they had parceled up yet again in 2022. I'm not sure they have the temperament, or leader, or go deep into Finals.
