Rugby League positions are so vastly important and more so now in the modern game certain players are position specialists.

Each team lacks in a certain position, a number that could take their team from good to great.

What position does your team need to strengthen in the coming years, or in some cases, right now?

We delve into the missing piece for your team.

Penrith Panthers: Back-row

Across the board, the Panthers boast quality and with a system as good as theirs, the depth at the club is solid.

The biggest concern for the Penrith Panthers is the rise of the PNG Chiefs in 2028 and with former Panthers great Jerome Luai already signing, some current Panthers players could also be on the way out.

A few of those rumoured to be leaving are the likes of Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin, Mitch Kenny, and Brian To'o.

The position that the Panthers will need to strengthen is the back row especially if they lose two or three of the players rumoured.

  1. For the Dolphins I don’t think five eighth is an issue. Nikorima compliments Katoa very well and Averillo will do well when he gets the opportunity. The Dolphins issues are up front.

    Saifiti medically retired. Flegler and Gilbert both back but the jury is out on whether they get back to their best. Molo is rocks and Diamonds. Kaufusi is an aging converted back rower. And that is literally it.
