St George Illawarra Dragons Head Coach Paul McGregor believes the squad is ready for their first test against the Melbourne Storm at Jubilee Oval, Kogarah on Monday.
McGregor has named a 19-man squad for the opening round Emergency Services clash which will see both local Hurstville United junior prop Rory O’Brien and Fijian international winger Eto Nabuli potentially make their first-grade debuts.
Furthermore, new recruit Dane Nielsen and George Rose, both of whom have previously played for the Storm, as well as hooker Heath L’Estrange have all been named in the extended squad.
