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.
St George Illawarra Dragons: Second-row
St George have begun their recruitment for 2027 and have already signed electric fullback Scott Drinkwater and Souths hard man Keaon Koloamatangi.
With news of Jaydn Su'a leaving the club however, the Dragons could strengthen their side with an elite second rower.
Dylan Egan is due back, and Ryan Couchman is on the up but without knowing what goes on in the coaches' head, is their back row moving forward?
With a plethora of second rowers available in 2027, the Dragons could make a play and boost their squad even further.
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.
For the Sharks, could go through the whole backline as needing backup options.
