trials?

Cowboys locked in for Sat 22 Feb v Titans @ Toowomba: http://www.cowboys.com.au/news-display/Preseason-trials-set-for-2014/87561

The Warriors website article on this says "possibly"... hopefully it is. We need some more televised trials where it's financially possible.

They don't even need to be televised yet, just use a single camera and put them online and see what type of viewing numbers they get. GWS did it for their trials in the AFL this year (using YouTube from memory) and CA are doing it for the Sheffield Shield this year (with shit quality though) so there really is no excuse not to do it.

Put the streams on the NRL website, apps, the clubs websites and their channel on livestream and see how it goes. If you start getting reasonable numbers you might then be able to convince a station or Fox to put some more on TV

Panthers v Tigers at Camden on 8 February, according to Gus on Twitter. Will involve NSW Cup, Under 20s and NRL... maybe 3 matches or just 1 with a mix from all 3 squads.

Guessing it'll be either Onslow Park in Camden or Kirkham Park at Elderslie (home of the Rams in Group 6).

Actually, that's inspired thinking.. even if the online-only option goes no further, some unobtrusive ads might make it pay it's way.

No chance it will be at Onslow.

That ground is used for other sports whereas Kirkham is used solely for league.

Kirkham also has decent lighting.

Yeah, Kirkham is the more logical choice. I mentioned Onslow as I am sure Camden and Narellan has played Group 6 matches there in the past.

It was our home ground (Campbelltown Eagles) for a season due to Wests not allowing us and Campbelltown Kangaroos to play in their boundaries after defecting to G6.

Pretty shit ground, no decent change rooms.

And gets ripped up every easter at the Camden Show.

Also, Kirkham has the clubhouse above the canteen for a few bevvies.

Should just play at Cambo ffs....good stuff

The trial in Alice Springs is against the Eels, so you'll only need half a team to be competitive.

Have the Tigers *actually* confirmed the Camden trial?

I've seen a whole bunch of people talking about it but no actual club confirmation.

 

[innsaneink]

Nothing official for WTs about any trials

Broncos often have dual trials. They do have big squads..

 

[King Tigerman]

well have to take 30 players minimum to alice springs

The local press (Advertiser and Chronicle) has made no mention of it yet either.
