The Dragons won't win it, but they should be making the 8. They have plenty of good players that Mary turned to plod and sir Hook seems to have them at least fighting again.

Hook was very focused on fitness and no one can dispute how fit he got our squad while he was here. Under the new rules fitness is more important than ever, you can probably sneak into the bottom half of the 8 just by having a super fit team.

He doesn't only get them fit. He also has cares about aggression. An ex player (Denan Kemp) said there would be weeks where Hook would go we're going to focus on aggression this week. He'd say I don't care about how much you fall off tackles as long you belt the bloke while doing it. And he said that frees you up as a player not having to worry about it.

For anyone who watched the game Eddie Blacker played he was number 16.

Which is fine if you're coaching a local under 14s side

There was that top of the table game we had against Dragons when they were coming first during Hook's last year. Both teams came out strong and it was a very good, physical game. We just played ultra aggressive and belted them until they folded around 60 minutes in and ended up blowing them out of the water for the last 20.

It can work if you have dominant enough forwards.

Hook is no Trent Robinson, that's for sure, and its a pretty safe bet he won't ever win a premiership, but he uses tried and proven old school methods. Fitness, aggression and pride in your club and jersey. He's able to get players playing to the best of their ability. There will be no easy games against his side, who started the season as wooden spoon favourites in a competition that included the Bulldogs, Cowboys and Broncos.

Hard to judge since Robinson has a open cheque book and always a strong squad .Griffen has a squad that has sucked for several seasons and they are going well.Interesting to see how he goes

I’m a prince of King Hooks kingdom but there’s no way he gets that team in the 8. That’s a bottom 2 squad IMO. The mans working miracles as is. Not bad for an U14s coach.
