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.

Newcastle Knights

8. David Klemmer 9. Danny Levi 10. Herman Ese'ese 11. Aidan Guerra 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 13. Tim Glasby

Other options: Mitchell Barnett, Jamie Buhrer, James Gavet, Slade Griffin, Josh King, Daniel Saifiti, Jacob Saifiti, Pasami Saulo, Sam Stone

The signing of Klemmer is huge for the Knights who still have numerous raw forwards who can learn from the big front-rower. Levi still has a lot to prove as a starting hooker, while Tim Glasby looks set for a move to the lock position ahead of Mitchell Barnett.

  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.
