I believe Wenty will trial weekend of the 17th, not sure who against. Noticed that draws for RMC and SS have been removed from MyLeague website.
Mounties play at Laybutt on 10 Feb, presumably against Hills as Blacktown are playing North Sydney in NSW Cup trial at 3pm. St Marys have a SS trial vs Brothers on 17 Feb and then vs Ryde Eastwood in both grades on 24 Feb and vs Cessnock on 2 March.
Thank for the trial info. As for the draws, they appeared after the release of the Spreadsheet and I noted updates to days and times for a number of teams. Maybe they are finalising all of this info.
I guess the crucial point is whether the NSWRL has reversed the amendment made to the Procedures manual a few years ago, that stipulated that RMC and SS teams would only be inserted by NSWRL volunteers at the game 1 hour before commencement, upon receipt of the team sheet from team managers.
Thats great - it is back in NSWRL draws instead of the Junior system, which means no unnamed players and proper times for tries and goals and hopefully a direction to insert teams by Tuesday afternoon.
Henry Rawalui is back at Wenty after spending 2023 with London Broncos. I thought Robbie Graham had a strong game in the backrow for Wenty, who looked superb when they scored 3 tries in the first 8 minutes, but slowed down after that.
Wenty won both games RMC - 7 tries to 2, and SS 7 tries to 1. Hills scored both the tries in RMC in the last 5 minutes of the game.
Not a lot to take out of the games, in SS the Bulls seemed to have a lot of young players, not many familiar faces from their Premiership side. Again, in RMC, many new faces. Let's see what happens when the Norths Cup players turn up.
You are correct that quite a few SS players were given an opportunity, but Hill's last year, retained very few of their premiership team and became virtually dependant on North Sydney. 2 weeks ago when Hills beat an understrength Mounties team, the Norths guys wore their Norths shorts but today most of the players wore Hills shorts. There were at least 4 or 5 from Norths in the team today. Henry Rawalui, a member of Hills 2022 premiership team and Wenty's key playmaker, didnt play today.
Have you got the Hills vs Ryde Eastwood scores?
