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:
14. Melbourne Storm
Forward pack rebuild
Name a side that can overcome the loss off their entire second row, a starting prop and the game's best bench utility. Ok it's probably the Storm, but in '23 even they may struggle.
The Storm's spine is still the best in the game but there are questions over Papenhuyzen given he missed huge parts of the past two seasons.
Can Craig Bellamy get the best out of Tariq Sims, Trent Loiero and the like? Probably. Happy to eat this entry come Final's time, but right now it looks like the Storm pack rebuild is on.
