Gold Coast Titans

8. Shannon Boyd 9. Nathan Peats 10. Jarrod Wallace 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Ryan James 13. Jai Arrow

Other options: Morgan Boyle, Bryce Cartwright, Moeaki Fotuaika, Keegan Hipgrave, Max King, Leilani Latu, Will Matthews, Tyrone Peachey, Mitch Rein, Jack Stockwell

The Titans have strengthened their pack with Raiders enforcer Shannon Boyd who adds much-needed steel to the side. The performances of Origin representatives Jarrod Wallace and Jai Arrow were highlights for the club in a disappointing season last year. Experienced duo Kevin Proctor and Ryan James are great leaders for the young side and Nathan Peats provides a hungry mentality.

  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. 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.

  3. 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..

  4. 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.
