Bonjour Mes Amis.

Welcome back to another Wire Yed Competition for the 2024 season which we all hope will be better (the season not the Comp) than the 2023 version..

Plenty of changes on and off the field for the two teams in this tough opening encounter, but who'll come out on top the McNamara led Dragons, or the Sam Burgess inspired Wire.

You decide and Good luck.

As a one time opening day bonus, please predict the following with 5 points available for each correct guess and an additional 10 points to the top scorer of this section.
