I've just checked a few resources including the Quad Park website and I'm aware that gates will be opening at 5pm with the main game kicking off at 7:30pm. Thereby, based on that information, I'd say the NYC will be the warm-up game and the NSW Cup squad will probably have a trial match against a Sydney team sometime on that weekend. I could be wrong but thats what I'd say would be happening.

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

A bit steep?! :lol: I love my Sea-Eagles and dumped $400 on last minute flights to get to the GF. But-

$36 for unreserved seating on scaffolding for a trial game is not just taking but ripping the piss.

I'm seriously not happy at this extortion and weighing up my options if I should attend or not.

Yeah I definitely agree. Especially when you compare them to the following prices at Brookie throughout the NRL season. Furthermore, the majority of these seats are under cover.

Gold - Jane Try Stand

Adult - $40
Pensioner - $30
Student - $30
Junior - $30

Silver - Southern Stand and Ken Arthurson Stand.

Adult - $30
Pensioner - $25
Student - $25
Junior - $25

Just thought it was interesting to make the comparison.

Scuba what price is General Admission going to be in 08 at brooky? Do you know?

I would like to complain to the club over the $36 pricetag for a trial especially when you compare the pricing to the trial at Bluetongue.

I would have thought that since they have decided to invest heavily in the area with the Sunshine Coast Sea-Eagles etc.. the club wouldn't want to get local offside which is exactly what is happening IMHO by setting prices like this.

The information in the post above is based on 2007 ticket prices. I presume the prices would stay around the same for 2008. Also, the prices listed above are based purely on a 'pre purchase' basis, thereby the cost if you rock up at the ground would even be higher.

In regards to your question, as I said, the 2008 prices haven't been released as of yet, but judging by 2007 prices, General Admission pre purchase ticket prices were as follows:

General Admission -

Adult - $22
Pensioner - $12
Student - $18
Junior - $12

I agree 100% that the $36 is a bit harsh. Not sure whether Manly even set the prices for the second trial, if so, the question must be asked, why are the prices so contrasting between the two trials?

Cheers.

It's important to clarify that NSW Cup is Manly v Central Coast Storm, while Toyota Cup is Manly v Melbourne.

4:15pm – Toyota Cup - NYC (Sea Eagles vs Melbourne Storm) - ie Jersey Flegg

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has named his squad for this Friday’s 1st pre-season trial game against the Manly Sea Eagles. The game will be played at Bluetongue Stadium in Gosford, NSW from 7:30pm.

The first-grade clash will be preceded by a NSW Rugby League Cup clash between Central Coast Storm and Manly at 5:30pm, and an Under-20’s game between Melbourne Storm and Manly Sea Eagles from 4:00pm.

The first-grade game will be divided into three 30-minute periods, with the Storm fielding a young team for the opening period, with a full-strength team taking to the field in the second period. The make-up of the team for the third period will be decided on the night.

Due to Cam Smith’s unavailability for the World Club Challenge against Leeds Rhinos on February 29, he will play in the first 30-minute period, with Matt Geyer taking the number 9 jersey for the second period.

Antonio Kaufusi will make his long-awaited return to action in the front-row after suffering a season-ending knee injury during the 2007 State-of-Origin series.

Former Brisbane Bronco Clifford Manua will get his first chance to impress in the front-row alongside Kaufusi in the first period.

After leaving Melbourne in 2004 and spending three years playing rugby in Scotland, Ben MacDougall will don the Storm colours once again when he lines up in the centres during the first period.

With Greg Inglis out injured and not likely to return to action until at least Round 3 of the NRL season, Russell Aitken gets his chance to impress in the five-eighth spot when he takes to the field during the second period.

Squad for Friday’s game:

First period starting team:

1. Jade Williams
2. Russell Webber
3. Ben MacDougall
4. Dane Nielsen
5. Joseph Tomane
6. Alex Moore
7. Liam Foran
8. Antonio Kaufusi
9. Cam Smith
10. Clifford Manua
11. Lucas Miller
12. Kevin Proctor
13. Sinbad Kali

Interchange:

14. Regan Tanner, 15. Aiden Guerra, (remaining interchange players selected from Central Coast Storm team)

Second period starting team:

1. Billy Slater
2. Steve Turner
3. Will Chambers
4. Israel Folau
5. Anthony Quinn
6. Russell Aitken
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Brett White
9. Matt Geyer
10. Jeff Lima
11. Jeremy Smith
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Dallas Johnson

Interchange:

14. Sam Tagataese, 15. Adam Blair, 16. Sika Manu, 17. Aiden Tolman

Third period starting team:

Players will be selected to play during the third period on the night

Coach: Craig Bellamy.

Nothing has been released on the official website as yet. I'd say in the next day or so. It'll be posted immediately when released, so best bet is to stay tuned to this thread.

Cheers.
