NRL pack power rankings: Ranking the best forward packs after transfer madness

Posted by Buzzaro on November 27, 2018 at 1:09pm

The number of forwards to change clubs this off-season has seen a shift in the balance of power in the NRL.

From the Knights signing David Klemmer to Dylan Napa leaving the premiers to join the Bulldogs, most forwards packs look decidedly different to how they finished the 2018 season.

With most NRL squads being close to finalised for next season, Foxsports.com.au ranks every NRL pack from one to 16 to determine the best starting pack on paper ahead of season 2019.

1. Cowboys

2. Rabbitos 

3. Roosters

4. Storm

5. Broncos

6. Sharks

7. Dragons

8. Panthers

9. Titans

10. Warriors

11. Sea Eagles 

12. Raiders

13. Knights

14. Bulldogs 

15. Tigers

16. Eels

    There's absolutely no doubt we're in tge the bottom three.
    Whilst there's some good young forward coming through, it may take 3 years before they reach their potential

    The biggest surprise for mine was the Sharks up at 6 ahead of Dragons

    Foxsports.com..lol

    I wonder if they had Cowboys as number one before last season?

    I cant believe we lower then Canberra

    Im going to be honest here, we are going to win back to back spoons, next year is going to be bloody murder, and if the fans here gave two shits about their club they'd be protesting, our team is an absolute disgrace.

    Coach BA should have this printed, framed and hung up in the training and dressing rooms for motivation.

    • MeelK > Mr 'BringBackFitzy' Analyst November 27, 2018 at 1:48pm

      Yep, good point Bazza. If something like this doesn't motivate them, then I doubt anything ever will.

      Maybe ba could put it in his resume to show what 6 years of building has done for this club.

    were these rankings done before or after our inter club orgy?
