I'd like to see Jesse Parah in a trail. I don't think he'll get a run in our Top 17, but if we do get a spate of injuries in the back row we'll need players to start plugging holes.
Of course Halatau and Chee Kam are ahead of him , Giffen and others as well. However to would be good to get him exposed early.
Having played 7s , it's one game you can't play without be fit., he would have to have a big motor on him to represent Australia at rugby 7s. Also you can't afford to miss a one on one tackle in that game, otherwise it's a Try to the opposition.

That was one of the highlights of last year. A very "Entertaining and Insightful" effort.
In fact if anyone has a link to last years Trial, Post it here…... that would be appreciated

Could only find the highlights package for you mate but it's classic…..
Forget broadcasting ...no one has mentioned the cost to get into trial games as expensive as an actual NRL game...rediculas...

Steve Mascord made comment about this a week or two ago stating that these are multi-million dollar squads that we should be paying to watch regardless of the event?

That's fine as long as you get to watch the multi million dollar squads for 80 minutes

Can see your point Geo,however I read somewhere that the NSW cup and NYC games are at Camden and the tickets are only 10 bucks, surely that would be enough to charge for NRL games seeing that they are only trials and you dont get to see the FG squad in full…
NRL backflips on decision to allow clubs to live stream trial matches

RUGBY league fans are about to receive a surprise February footy fix after the NRL performed a pre-season backflip and now allowed clubs to stream trial games.
Several clubs had approached the NRL about streaming trials so they could showcase their big off-season recruits to the ever-growing digital audience.
The Wests Tigers and Cronulla pre-season clash proved a huge success when shown live online last year.
However, NRL head of football Todd Greenberg wrote to the clubs in a December 15 letter, which was obtained by The Daily Telegraph, that they wouldn’t be allowed stream trials because Channel Nine had exclusive rights to broadcast pre-season matches, ‘’irrespective of whether it does in fact choose to broadcast the pre-season matches’’.
But in a second letter sent last week, Greenberg advised the clubs the NRL had struck a deal with Nine, and ‘’obtained its consent to allow pre-season matches to be streamed by clubs through their websites, should your club wish to do so’’.
Greenberg added the clubs could only show trials via their websites, would have to pay for their own production costs, but the trials would ‘’remain the property of the NRL, and be available for use by the NRL’’.
Fox Sports has also confirmed they will broadcast three pre-season matches, including the Charity Shield on February 13, the New Zealand Warriors and Gold Coast Titans trial earlier that day, as well as Kieran Foran and Michael Jennings’ likely first outing for Parramatta against Penrith at Pepper Stadium on February 20.

Wow! That's some good news! A start at the very least. I can see this growing in the years to come. With all the technology out there, surely it's just a matter of time before it's the norm rather than the exception that all games are available for viewing somewhere, somehow. Good to hear that Channel 9 are being sensible about this.
