Wasn't really expecting to win considering the Eels were missing Tahu, Grothe, Morris, Marsh, Cayless, Riddell, Morrison, Hindmarsh, Moimoi, Stringer from the top side

Trials don't mean too much but it's a good chance for the coaches to get a look at some of the younger guys coming through.

Just as long as their were no injuries I'm happy.


If you needed any proof trials mean nothing

in 2001 Parramatta beat the Knights by about 16
In the Grand Final the Knights won by 6

Storm beats Eels in Ballina trial match


Saturday Feb 11 19:56 AEDT
Cooper Cronk scored two tries in Melbourne's 38-18 victory over Parramatta in a trial match, sending a clear message he wants to make the No.7 jersey his own.

Amid increasing speculation the Storm plan to recruit sacked Penrith skipper Craig Gower, Cronk was instrumental in guiding his team to a comprehensive seven tries to three win over the 2005 minor premiers.

The 22-year-old Cronk was initially slated to replace Manly key signing Matt Orford but there is renewed talk the Panthers will release Gower from his $2 million five-year contract, freeing the Test half to join the Storm.



Gower is reportedly disillusioned about issues relating to his punishment from the Panthers following an alcohol-fuelled weekend on the Sunshine Coast in December.

He was fined $30,000 and stripped of the captaincy.

Both the Eels and Melbourne fielded close to full-strength teams in balmy conditions at Ballina's Kingsford Smith Park.

Melbourne led 16-12 at halftime before Cronk's tries in the 45th and 54th minutes blew out his side's lead to 28-12 in a trial played over 20 minute quarters.

Former Queensland centre Chris Walker scored his first try for his new club in the 68th minute to hand the Storm a 34-12 lead.

Jarryd Hayne scored a consolation try for the Eels in the 72nd minute but Melbourne's Kiwi international Jake Webster completed the rout with a try at the death.
