NRL 2023: Every side’s predicted team list for Round 1

The pre-season is underway and the draw has been released, so it’s time to start looking forward to the 2023 NRL season.

With so many players moving clubs in the off-season, as well as the introduction of a 17th team in the Dolphins, it promises to be an exciting year with plenty of hard-hitting and close affairs.

Penrith will be looking to make it three-straight titles, but they will have to do it without two of their most important players, while the likes of the Eels and Warriors have undergone roster overhauls.
