Hasler will be without regular first graders Greg Eastwood (foot), Tim Lafai (hand), Sam Kasiano (ankle) and Krisnan Inu (jaw) but will have handy replacements with Corey Thompson (NRL debut), Chase Stanley (Bulldogs debut) and Pat O’Hanlon (Bulldogs debut) all set to make their first appearance in the blue and white.
The two-time Premiership winning Coach is looking forward to the competition starting this week.
“It’ll be a good build-up, a good start to the year so I hope plenty of fans come out to ANZ Stadium to have a look,” Hasler said.
“We’ve got a few players injured but the players that will replace them are looking forward to the challenge and it’s a good opportunity to blood some players.”
