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.

Wests Tigers

8. Russell Packer 9. Robbie Farah 10. Ben Matulino 11. Chris Lawrence 12. Ryan Matterson 13. Elijah Taylor

Other options: Josh Aloiai, Michael Chee-Kam*, Matt Eisenhuth, Luke Garner, Jacob Liddle, Chris McQueen, Robbie Rochow, Alex Twal

Ryan Matterson's addition to the Tigers pack brings the overall age down, with the other five between the age of 29 and 35. The Tigers possess three strong Kiwis in their forwards ranks however they struggle for quality depth to make-up for potential injuries.

  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.🐮🌬 Canberra’s pack looks worse then Canterberries and souffffths put together. Parra’s pack is not to bad.💪🎱👍

  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.
