I didn't see him at the 9's tournament this year either. Maybe he has already made his mind up on selections..
Trial Updates..?
- Thread starter alexaki
- Start date
Well …........he was at Camp Concord yesterday running his eye over Generation Next.....
Arana played the second half, he added a fair bit of spark, he showed good footwork, good pace," said recruitment manager Warren McDonnell.
>
"It was good to see him get a hit-out and get used to it.
>
"He played half and five-eighth - we had a couple (playing alongside him) in Jay Florimo, who had a good game, and Blake Lazarus."
>
Taumata is likely to again share playmaking duties with Tim Moltzen and Robert Lui in the Tigers' two remaining trial matches as the trio battle it out for the right to partner Benji Marshall in the halves.
… the battle for the 7\. is on !

Indeed, really looking forward to the Foundation Cup, Sheens will no doubt name a much stronger outfit for this match.

The last Cowboys NRL trial match before the era of Mackay’s new stadium proved a winner at Tiger Park last night.
>
A big crowd estimated at 5000 turned up despite wet weather over the last month to see Wests Tigers run away with it in the third quarter for a 28-4 win.
>
And for the first time in three years the weather gods relented, allowing the match to go ahead in fine weather, despite heavy conditions underfoot for the players.
>
QRL Northern Division chairman Greg Sutherland said the $8.8 million stadium at the JRL grounds would avoid the problems caused by Mackay’s wet season, which has prevented the last two trial games from going ahead.
>
He paid tribute to the Wests rugby league club at Walkerston, led by president Brett Leach, who overcame major obstacles to get the ground prepared for the game.
>
The QRL Northern Division organised the match, which for the first time featured free bus travel from the city and country centres.
>
The first half proved an arm-wrestle, despite the Cowboys dominating possession.
>
Forward Manase Manuokafoa scrambled over for the only try just before the break, giving the Cowboys a 4-0 lead.
>
The STM Mackay Cutters trio of halfback Justin Hunt, second rower Tyson Martin and five-eighth Todd Seymour all got a run early in the match, bringing cheers from the home crowd.
>
**New Cowboys fullback Shannon Gallant, who is in the running for a spot at the back with Matty Bowen battling a knee injury, impressed with a strong performance in the first half, defusing several attacks on the line and tangling with Tigers hooker Daniel Fitzhenry in a scuffle.**
>
But the Cowboys suffered a horror third quarter, letting in four tries to slip to a 22-4 deficit.
>
Fullback Jake Mullaney, forwards Junior Moors and Mark Flanagan with two tries all benefited as the Tigers got on a roll.
>
Hunt pulled off a try-saving tackle on Josh Davis, but two tackles later Flanagan scored out wide.
>
Cowboys winger Obe Geia, who was celebrating his 21st birthday, just missed the perfect present when a cross-kick over the line eluded him moments before the third quarter break.
>
Flanagan wrapped up the game with his third try in the final minute, just beating the defence to the line.
>
Tigers front rower Bryce Gibbs was man of the match, playing the full game in heavy conditions.
