While it's great to have Nehe, Beauden and Dane back, we'd back ourselves to make do with whatever we have got." That was certainly the case in the 2016 playoffs, where the Hurricanes finished with four rookies in their tight five at stages.

There is an expectation that the Hurricanes will put at least 30-40 points on the Rebels.
