Former Dedication player Chris Hope has been announced as the final member of the Hutt River Dedication squad for 2010. Hope played for Dedication for two years, before abandoning the club to start his own rival outfit, the Halls Enforcers. Despite besting Dedication in their only encounter, the Enforcers proved to be lacking in longevity, folding after only one year. Hope is understood to have begged Dedication officials for a second chance, and will need to perform in order to justify the selectors' gamble on such a controversial player.
