Wests Tigers Holden Cup side will play a trial match this Saturday against the Wentworthville Magpies at Kirkham Oval.

Head Coach Chris Hutchinson will give a host of new players the chance to impress this weekend, with only six second-year players named in the 18-man squad.

This will be the side’s second trial match this year, with a solid hit-out last weekend against the Western Suburbs Magpies.

It’s a two game program between Wests Tigers and Wentworthville, with Holden Cup kicking off at 5pm, followed by the Intrust Super Premiership fixture.

Stop being so negative Geo

Two second row forwards playing in the centres, Lui is a promising player from Keebra Park. Frain is from Balmain SG Ball.. Liam Pakau is a highly credentialed schoolboy centre from Ipswich/Keebra Park. Walker is from Balmain SGBall and Bermingham is a half from Balmain SGBall/Western NSW. Kurneth will be interesting to watch being a prospect from Toowoomba or Ipswich.

It will be around 40c at Wentworthville on Saturday. Hope the young ones don't lose too many KGs

I wouldn't be suprised if the trial is postponed. It will crack 40 at Wenty and player welfare should dictate the game is postponed.

They could start early….I see WTs girls team in the tarsha Gale cup theyre starting 7.30am

They could all pretend theyre back in nappy brigade under 6s

 

[ALX22]

Kurnoth (not Kurneth as the Tigers media continue to say) is originally from NT via Ipswich.

papenhuyzen is likely to play full back in NYC this year.

He looks good, but kinda of reminds me of the my boys team when he was in the under 12's playing a team of islanders. They were 5 on 1 and still got carried up the park.

6'4 and 108kg - He'll get bigger yet and looks like he has a good turn of speed and footwork. I suspect he'll be quite damaging in the NYC.

Probably work keeping an eye on Junior Wright off the bench, another big unit who looks reasonably mobile.

Trial cancelled..

Trial cancelled..

It was the only option really. They could reschedule for Monday/Tuesday, Sydney is supposed to be a bit more bearable then…
