No foundation Cup against the Roosters
2 games on the same night for the Tigers.

Following week sees the tigers compete in the inaugural Auckland 9s tournament at Eden Park NZ - February 15-16.
 
Um, yeah, no.

Not much point in posting this as its obviously not correct.

We only have 2 trial games, and they are both on the same night in different states? Yeah, um don't think so.

The one against the Panthers will probably be on the week before
 
We know the details for these matches have been out for a while, without any comment from the WT though, so it seems the NRL is publishing draft dates.

As this had all been previously discussed I don't see why this needed a new thread until the actual matches and corresponding dates are confirmed by WT, that's all

you were saying, balmain boy?
 
Yes, I've just seen the release and it's quite astonishing really, and incredibly insulting to the people of the NT.

Who on earth is going to be playing and coaching the side in the NT if all 3 grades are playing at Camden at the same time!! Serious question. The coaches have to be there when their team plays, and any of the top or fringe players would need to be playing in front of Potter hoping to impress.

Really, really incredibly stupid by the club. Why stretch limited resources so far unnecessarily. No other club in the history of sport across the entire world has played 2 matches on the same day 3000km apart. Surely all the top players will be playing together as will the coaches be coaching them.

Are we sending our sg ball side up to Alice Springs?

One can only imagine Kidwell is taking a bunch of reserve nsw, nyc and god knows who else up there.

Wests Tigers have announced the dates and locations for the Club’s 2014 trial matches, to be held on two weekends in February.
The first NRL trial matches for the 2014 season will be held on Saturday 8 February, with Wests Tigers’ players taking on the Penrith Panthers in Camden and the Parramatta Eels in Alice Springs on the same day.

Two weeks later the Club will head to Remondis Stadium to play the Cronulla Sharks, with five grades set to take to the park on Saturday 22 February.

The trials against the Penrith Panthers will take place at Kirkham Oval, Camden, with the NRL, NYC and VB NSW Cup sides all in action.

Wests Tigers CEO Grant Mayer said that the games in Camden reinforced the Club’s continued support of South-West Sydney.

“The Club is looking forward to taking a full day of quality matches to Camden, allowing our passionate fans in South-West Sydney to get close to the action and get their first taste of rugby league for 2014,” said Mayer. “We’ve been working closely with the local community to ensure that the day benefits all parties involved.

“South-West Sydney remains an important region for Wests Tigers, evident by the thousands of hours the Club spends in the area each year,” he said. “We look forward to a year of strong support from our fans in the region, with the trial matches in Camden to be followed by four quality games at Campbelltown Sports Stadium during 2014.”

On the same day a number of NRL players will feature in a side that will take on the Parramatta Eels in Alice Springs.

The game will mark the Club’s first trip to the Northern Territory with Wests Tigers players looking forward to being in action in front of fans who may have never seen them in the flesh before, as well as introducing new fans to the team.

Wests Tigers’ final trials for 2014 is set to be a massive day of football, with five games taking place against the Cronulla Sharks at Remondis Stadium on Saturday 22 February.

First in action will be the Wests Tigers Harold Matthews Cup side, followed by the S.G. Ball team, both playing the Sharks in round two premiership games.

Following the two competition matches will be three trials, with the Wests Tigers NRL, NYC and VB NSW Cup sides playing.

Further information regarding kick-off times and purchasing tickets to all games will be released in the coming weeks.
