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:
2. Parramatta Eels
Less Than '22
I can't shake the feeling that the Eels title chances ended at the full time whistle of the 2022 decider. They played at their very best yet fell just short.
The 2023 Eels outfit will be missing the names Isaiah Papali'i and Reed Mahoney. That immediately tells me they start behind their 2020 selves.
Mitch Moses will spend every single day under the microscope until he has signed a contract for 2024 and beyond. For the sake of the Eels, he needs to decide his future ASAP to avoid that distraction.
