Whats the chances of Hook letting Mitch Rein have a crack at his old side?
Are all the match threads this season going to have dumb insults in the title again?
I put up most of them last season and none had any insults.

I hope he kills it. I was critical of the signing, but I'm onboard with anyone that takes the field for us. At least until the point that it's obvious that they aren't up to it. I wasn't impressed when Yeo was named to debut, we know how that turned out.I suspect Mitch Rein is going to surprise a lot of fans. Has been outstanding in pre season training and by all accounts a change of clubs was what he needed to go to the next level. Will certainly be off the bench in Round 1 to play against his former club.
I know we all think the Dragons are no chance in this one but they still have some good players. Dugan, Nightingale and Widdop in the backs and Packer, Fizzell, Vaughan, Thompson and Sims in the forwards. That as well as the home ground advantage. We need to turn up for this one or it may just pass us by.
Not necessarily the team I would go with but I think Hook will name something like this:
Moylan (C)
Whare
Peachey
Blake
Hiku
TMM
Cleary
Tamou
Wallace
RCG
Yeo
Cartwright
Merrin
Latu
JFH
Browne
Leota
18th Akauola
With NSW Cup being close to this:
Edwards
MWZ
Oldfield
Stein
Tuisese
May
Nicholls
Ellis
Rein
Kikau
CWH
Waddell
Katoa (C)
Cartwright
Clark
ZDC
Pua
If in fact Akauola is 18th Man I am not sure if he will play ISP the day before.
