How does the forward pack of your NRL side stand up to the rest of the lot? Take a look at each club and their packs ranked from weakest to strongest.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

8. Aiden Tolman 9. Michael Lichaa 10. Dylan Napa 11. Josh Jackson 12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 13. Adam Elliott

Other options: Danny Fualalo, Corey Harawira-Naera, Rhyse Martin, Ofahiki Ogden, Chris Smith, Sauaso Sue, Renouf Toโ€™omaga, Francis Tualau

The Bulldogs are being touted for a wooden spoon in 2019 and while their pack isn't terrible, it's arguably the weakest in terms of depth. Napa and Jackson are the standouts of this pack with their Origin experience while Faitala-Mariner and Elliott have both shown promise in recent seasons.

  1. I suggest the author of this list is clueless.
    Dogs definitely are the weakest but they should be closely followed by the raiders.
    Storm are no where near third best either.
    Dogs definitely last and are the weakest team from 1-17. The spoon is theirs to lose.

  2. bulldogs are going to surprise a lot of people this year, I see them narrowly missing the finals, finishing around 10th

  3. The Cowboys? Granville has been riding off his 2015 season for the last few years, while Gavin Cooper struggled noticeably without Thurston in 2017. McLean hasn’t quite proven himself since he joined the Cowboys either. In my eyes, McGuire, Hess and Taumalolo are their only genuine consistent stars.

  4. You’ve missed Corey Horsburgh with the Raiders. Played for the Qld U20s State of Origin team last year and the Junior Kangaroos in a test where he ran for 174 metres including 64 post contact metres. Was outstanding in the trials for the Raiders. Horsburgh and Emre Guler should be on the bench for the Raiders this season backing up Papalii, Soliola, Sutton, John Bateman, Whitehead and Tapine..

  5. Sounds like a white lie to me or better known as a bullfart.๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒฌ Canberra’s pack looks worse then Canterberries and souffffths put together. Parra’s pack is not to bad.๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŽฑ๐Ÿ‘

  6. Eels and Tigers definitely have the worst packs in the NRL, not a single rep level player between them. Canterbury’s starting pack is half decent with a couple of origin and international players in there, but they have no front row depth. Bunnies pack for 2019 is overrated when you look at all the mistakes that their forwards make + losing Crichton.
