Our NSW Cup Wests Magpies team will be having a trial before the Wests Tigers match on Saturday in Mudgee.

Without having any intel, this is how they may line up based on their summer squad. I'm assuming the NRL top 30 or development players not in NRL trial squad are probably rehabing niggles. But this will give you some guide on how we will line up.

1 Johnny Lee Gabrael
2 Samuel Loizou
3 Jay Kirk
4 Nick Mougios
5 Jimmy Ngutlik
6 Iverson Matai
7 Harradyn Wilson
13 Cayne Nicholas
12 Reuben Porter
11 Finnley Neilsen
10 Josh Finau
9 James Valevatu
8 Nick Lui-Toso

Gordon Whippy (prop), Herman Tofaeono (prop) Bailey Hodges (hooker), Ryan Garner (outside back), Steve Tapau (outside back), Vaka Aho (middle), John Tuivaiti (prop).

Yuk. Not 1 player with NRL experience.
Why are we soo behind every other squad in the comp?
 
BWG's predicted side there is for the trial this weekend, not what it'll look like come Round 2. important to remember that a lot of players will filter down and boost our pathways sides once preseason officially comes to a close.
Yeah could easily look like this in Round 2 ...

1 Declan Casey
2 Alex Lobb
3 Brent Naden
4 Solomona Faataape
5 Solomon Alaimalo
6 Latu Fainu
7 Iverson Matai
13 Justin Matamua
12 AJ Kepaoa
11 Brandon Tumeth
10 Sione Fainu
9 Tallyn Da Silva
8 Nick Lui-Toso

Much different obviously pending injuries & NRL top 17 selections.

2 out of 9 of our reserves for the Dragons game have NRL experience. Contrast that to our nearest competitor this season in the Dragons whom have 9 out of 9 of their reserves with NRL experience.
My point still stands really. We’ll have Kepoa, one of Stains, Naden or To'a, Matuma and Simpkin in between both sides this year.

I think almost all the NRL bench boys will be playing half a game in nsw cup, this may be the 2nd half lineup for Cup

That’s a very strong side. Quite a few of them will be pushing hard for regular NRL game time.
