8. Iosia Soliola 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Ryan Sutton 11. Elliott Whitehead 12. Joseph Tapine 13. Josh Papalii
Other options: John Bateman, Luke Bateman, Emre Guler, Siliva Havili, Royce Hunt, Dunamis Lui, Jack Murchie
The Raiders have lost the intimidation factor this season with the double-departure of their two starting front-rowers Shannon Boyd and Junior Paulo. Veteran Sia Soliola and new recruit Ryan Sutton will have their work cut out for them to have a similar impact. Josh Hodgson's influence was missed due to injury in 2018 but he holds the key to the Raiders' game management.

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.
Much more laughable is your claim that manly will beat tigers 30 nil next week.
Yet your forward pack has Tim Mannah.. Just pipe down lol
Yeah nice call, because Iโve said that somewhere too, back to bed for you
bulldogs are going to surprise a lot of people this year, I see them narrowly missing the finals, finishing around 10th
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.
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..
Sounds like a white lie to me or better known as a bullfart.๐ฎ๐ฌ Canberra’s pack looks worse then Canterberries and souffffths put together. Parra’s pack is not to bad.๐ช๐ฑ๐
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.
Parramatta should be last, by far..
Storm at 3 is laughable
