i think sheens will only use 20 players for the trial max.

1 Moltzen
2 Ryan
3 Ayshford
4 Lawrence
5 Brown
6 Marshall
7 Lui

8 Galloway
9 Farah
10 Gibbs
11 Ellis
12 Heighington
13 Fulton

14 Fitzhenry
15 Cayless
16 Payten
17 Moors
18 Daniela
19 Dwyer
20 Taumata

Rotating players around the lineup to see who is the best for combinations giving players around 60 mins on the field in the key positions to go for depth
 
I think Sheens will go with a squad of 22-23 players. I think he'll look at a couple of positions where there is still some speculation over who will play there.

(Players in brackets to play in the second half)

1\. Mullaney (Moltzen)
2\. Pritchard (Ryan)
3\. Daniela (Ayshford)
4\. Lawrence
5\. Brown
6\. Marshall
7\. Taumata (Lui)
8\. Galloway (Payten)
9\. Fitzhenry (Farah)
10\. Gibbs (Moors)
11\. Mataka (Ellis)
12\. Dwyer (Heighno)
13\. Fulton (Flanagan)
 
Bryce Gibbs is suspended for the next 2 games. He will not be considered for the next 2 trial games.

Click to expand...

It was a 3 game ban, he served 2 last season. Should be available for 1 more trial match.
 
From memory Sheens likes to name a near full strength run on team and plenty of reserves…

So I'm expecting..
1\. Moltzen
2\. Brown
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Ryan
6\. Marshall
7\. Lui
8\. Gibbs
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Heighnington
12\. Ellis
13\. Fulton

14\. Fitzhenry
15\. Moors
16\. Taumana
17\. Cayless
18\. Daniella
19\. Payten
20\. Tupou
etc etc
 
1.Lazarus/Taumata/Moltzen
2.Ryan/Pritchard
3.Lawence/Daniela
4.Ayshford/Davis
5.Brown/Roquica
6.Marshal/Taumata

11.Ellis/Dwyer
12.Heighnington/Mataka/Gower
13.Fulton/Flanagan/Moors

Ive picked a side based on who i think will play 1st grade in 2010 thats why ive left Mulleney out who i think is a superstar but he still needs developing & there probably are two or three infront of him.Cayless & Toupo are still not 100%
fit so i have also left them out
 
1\. Tim Moltzen
2\. Mitch Brown
3\. Chris Lawrence
4\. Blake Ayshford
5\. Beau Ryan
6\. Benji Marshall
7\. Robert Lui
8\. Bryce Gibbs
9\. Robbie Farah
10\. Keith Galloway
11\. Willie Mataka
12\. Gareth Ellis
13\. Chris Heighington

14\. Blake Lazarus
15\. Arana Taumata
16\. Junior Moors
17\. Todd Payten
18\. Simon Dwyer

20\. Alan Schirnack
21\. David Gower
22\. Jake Mullaney
23\. Tame Tupou
24\. Rhys Pritchard
25\. Liam Fulton
26\. Jason Cayless

Swapping Mullaney for Moltzen, Pritchard for Lawrence, Moors for Ellis, Fifita for Cayless, Dwyer for Heighington, Lazarus for Lui and Taumata for Marshall at half-time. The other guys serve as general interchange.
 
You left out Galloway. I'd doubt Cayless and Tupou will be fit to play, although I'd like to be proven wrong on that.
 
In the past Sheens has named a 17 or 18 man squad for the foundation cup. Then he picks the best players from the U/20s game on the day and stacks them on the bench + a few fringe first graders players.
 
Ok this would be my team for the Foundation Cup. Remember Gibbs is out because of suspension.

1\. Brown
2\. Lawrence
3\. Ayshford
4\. Fitzhenry
5\. Pritchard
6\. Marshall
7\. Moltzen
8\. Payten
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Ellis
12\. Heighington
13\. Fulton

14\. Taumata (2nd replace - in the backline)
15\. Flanagan (2nd half - replace Farah)
16\. Moors (2nd half- replace Payten)
17\. Cayless (2nd half- replace Galloway)
18\. Dwyer (2nd half - replace Fulton)
19\. Tupou (2nd half - replace Heighington)
20\. Mataka (2nd half - replace Ellis)
