we are the only NRL side not having a trial match this weekend

[fletch]

feels a bit strange seeing some pretty competitive sides being named for trials this weekend when our aussie/kiwi world cup players only started full training with the squad last week.

on a positive note everyone except Moga/RTS should get a run out either in the 9's or the Newcastle trial next weekend in preparation for the WCC.

Club hasn't posted much on Moga, early reports suggest he wouldn't be back until 2-3 months into the season.
