Squad for 1st trial, plenty of 'fringe' players, not much you can read into the list except that;
* Following week looks like starting back line will play together for 1st time
* Same with the forwards for following week,
* The likes of Doueihi, Leilua, Eisenhuth, Chee Kam, Clark & Musgrove will no doubt be playing in following trial as well.

Was wondering if the players not named like Brooks, benji, Thompson mean Madge has them penciled in for round 1 and these guys are trying to make the team. That would mean thompson and Jennings would be his choices ATM.

I can't see Thompson,Jennings and Nofo in the team unless Doueihi misses out completely. That squad looks like a 2nd grade squad with some first graders thrown in.

Apart from Leilua, Musgrove and Doueihi I’m guessing the make up of this team is mainly our reserves/depth. Keen to see our future #9 and QLD dummy half kill it (Simpkins)

I'd say that's a certainty Vozzy, that's where they finished, Madge hasn't moved the likes of Jennings on so fair enough.

That's why they are called trials, no one plays their top 17 as a 17 in a trial. You might even see they top 13 run on for the last 1/4 of a trial.

Does anyone else have more confidence in our squad this year or is it just me?

I already think we are good for backs at least (for the first time in a decade).
Best squad in ages.If we can medically retire Packer it enhances our position immensely re strengthening our squad further in the short term.Madge is doing a fabulous job with recruitment & talent identification.Wont surprise if we become a powerhouse under Madge’s stewardship as I expect Madge to b running the show @ concord long term.

If Madge stays longterm it follows that the evolving roster will be comprised of players who knew what they were in for coming in and are up for the challenge. ...that's a formula for one hardarsed team. People point out the souths burnout but he claims he knows the mistakes he made during that first ( successful) tenure in the NRL and knows how not to have that happen again.
At this point looking forward and all things considered it's hard to imagine how we could be in much better shape. I really believe that what Matterson " didn't sign up for" will be our bedrock

They will obviously end up all playing..Madge just wants to see AD at centre see how he looks there

Trying to figure out how 6 fit into five or whatever isnt worth worrying about at the start of each brand spanking new season...injuries come visiting soon enough and the chips fall where they do. Quality depth carries a club to the finish line...these hi impact days more than ever

Just to let everyone know I am pretty sure the trial is going to be broadcast on FOX. I have Kayo and I can see it as an upcoming game.

I think it’s just on kayo for some reason. The warriors trial next week is definitely on fox though

It's definitely on the Kayo menu which makes me assume it's on Fox but I could be completely wrong.

From the little I know . . . Tonight's trial is being livestreamed on the WT site, and it's also on the NRL app thingy.
I don't think FOX is showing this one.

Always hopeful ..Naturally Madge will want a look at AD at fullback as well today..I just thought would be an opportunity to see what he’s got in different positions..

A mate has Fox and it wasn't listed on his menu but it is on my Kayo menu. It's pretty bizarre to me and I suppose I'll find out tonight.

I’m pretty sure that just contains a link to the NRL sign up form to watch it which didn’t link for me ..
