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:

6. Cronulla Sharks

Lack of creativity

Nicho Hynes had a magical 2022 season. He set the competition alight en route to a record Dally M medal points tally. Unfortunately, he often played a lone hand.

I'm probably Matt Moylan's biggest fan, while Will Kennedy and Blayke Brailey have all the potential in the world. That said, they all need to step up in a big way in 2023.

The Sharks were routed in their final game of 2022 against the Bunnies where outside of Hynes, they offered very little. That needs to change or a comfortable finals finish remains their ceiling.
