Just from Wellington.
Spending what should be a great four day weekend up in Auckland!
I imagine there will be some very nervous NRL CEO's around the place. 16 NRL teams in one city for the weekend, they all know each other and what are you going to do when you get knocked out early........
Should start a poll to see how many arrests over the weekend. I'll take 4.

The St George Raiders have named a decent squad also. I think that the teams with strong U/20 representation will be surprise packets as the unstructured & free flowing play they are used too will be rewarded in this format. In saying that the teams with alot of current/recently graduated U/20's may struggle with stamina if they have to play a few games in quick succession.
So here are the teams named so far, feel free to add on or correct any:

Lets hope its not his knee exploding....
I think the Warriors will go in favourites and it is obvious some teams aren't really 100% committed of the others I probably rate Sharks and Knights a chance and have hopes for the Dragons as well.

It is a shame but the Raiders are using this as a chance to blood more 20's and give match fitness to fringe first graders and players returning from injury. With Milford, Wighton & Lee the Raiders might have given the comp a real shake. I am glad though that the Regular season is the priority.
Warriors are deadest favourites with over 21% of all money going on them while the rest of the pack range from 3-8%. I think, Knights, Sharks, Titans and Cowboys all look the money. Pretty impressed with cowboys lineup when you take away there big guns its stil a strong side. Titans look fast and that's going to go along way. I just wished it was all on free to air. (working the whole weekend anyways)
Great concept tho I think, cant wait to here how they all go...
