Now that the North Queensland Cowboys got that maiden premiership after a 20-year journey, I wonder which club would be next to break out through and become premiers.
Only three clubs remain who are yet to claim a premiership. They are the Cronulla Sharks, Gold Coast Titans, and the New Zealand Warriors. Of the three, the Titans are the least likely due to being in turmoil due to documented financial difficulties. Being the youngest of the three, they are long off of even contending for the title.
In the meantime they should be focusing on rebuilding the club from the ground up.
The New Zealand Warriors always enter every season with a lot of promise but fail to deliver, much like their brother club the Cowboys. Being from the expansion class of 95, both the Warriors and Cowboys show the same traits every season of promising results that only led to heartbreak and disappointment.
Recruitment of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Issac Luke bolsters the Warriors’ squad. They will be contenders provided Shaun Johnson remains healthy for the 2016 NRL season. At full strength, the 2016 Warriors can contend for the premiership.
Lastly, Cronulla Sharks, who since 1967 are yet to gain a premiership. The men from the Shire have had some great players over the years but have never got the job done. Recruiting James Moloney and Chad Townsend as the halves combination is a promising move by the Sharks. Along with the emergence of Jack Bird this season, the potential is there for the Sharks to be a smokey contender come finals time.
Overall, seeing a club get its maiden premiership is a wonderful moment and if ever the Cowboys drop out of the finals and these three teams are still involved, then I’ll be cheering them to get that maiden premiership. So out of the three teams Roarers, who would be closest to getting that maiden premiership?
