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.
The Dolphins: Five-eighth
The Dolphins are stacked in the backline, and their forwards can certainly hold their own. Isaiya Katoa is a future Orign star but that's where the joy ends.
The Five-eighth position is one that could certainly be strengthened at The Dolphins.
Kodi Nikorima holds his own, and the likes of Jake Averillo and Brad Schneider have done a job in the past.
None of the three mentioned are world class five-eighths and if The Dolphins are to challenge, they need someone to compliment Katoa and the vision he brings to each game.
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.
