8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Martin Taupau 11. Curtis Sironen 12. Joel Thompson 13. Jake Trbojevic
Other options: Manase Fainu, Jack Gosiewski, Taniela Paseka, Lloyd Perrett, Toafofoa Sipley, Kelepi Tanginoa, Frank Winterstein
The Sea Eagles have a strong forward pack however depth is their key issue especially with the injury troubles of Curtis Sironen. Addin Fonua-Blake has broke into the starting line-up and is partnered in the front-row by the dominant Martin Taupau. Jake Trbojevic is the most consistent Manly performer in attack and defence and has shown maturity beyond his age.

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.💪🎱👍
Yeah nice call, because I’ve said that somewhere too, back to bed for you
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.
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..
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
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
bulldogs are going to surprise a lot of people this year, I see them narrowly missing the finals, finishing around 10th
