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:
13. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
All on Burton and the Foxx
The Bulldogs enter 2023 with their best side in many seasons. Matt Burton is on his way to becoming one of the game's best while Josh Addo-Carr is a speed machine capable of anything.
Outside of those two players though, the Dogs backline fails to flatter. Despite a brilliant back-end to '22 I'm not completely sold on Jake Averillo at fullback.
The Dogs spent big parts of last year trying to replace Kyle Flanagan. If the Dogs are going to make the eight they need to provide far more assistance to Burton and the Foxx than they did last year.
