Penrith won this trial 32-20.

Elsewhere, Penrith are upset with Melbourne and have cancelled an upcoming trial against North Sydney due to the Storm taking up Cup players to play in the Pre-Season Challenge: https://westernweekender.com.au/2025/02/panthers-abandon-plan-for-late-las-vegas-warm-up/

A lot of the teams that play in these trials have little connection with those that appear when the comps start. In this case Newtown is limited to players not contracted by the Sharks and the "Penrith" squad included 9 guys from Brothers RMC.

A lot of the teams that play in these trials have little connection with those that appear when the comps start. In this case Newtown is limited to players not contracted by the Sharks and the "Penrith" squad included 9 guys from Brothers RMC.

Correct - which is at issue from Penrith's NRL side today, who are upset with North Sydney and by extension the Storm: https://westernweekender.com.au/2025/02/panthers-abandon-plan-for-late-las-vegas-warm-up/

Penrith have cancelled a planned unofficial trial against NSW Cup side North Sydney, and they have their Grand Final opponents from last year to blame.

The Panthers had scheduled an opposed scrimmage this weekend against the Bears, allowing the likes of Nathan Cleary and Dylan Edwards to have some game time before flying to Las Vegas.

But 2024 runners-up Melbourne have called up a host of Bears players for the NRL’s pre-season challenge, leaving the scrimmage somewhat pointless.

“We wanted a decent quality team, and Norths were the best option,” Panthers coach Ivan Cleary told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“[But] we didn’t really get what we thought we were going to get.”

The Panthers informed the Bears today that the match would not go ahead.

Penrith will fly out to America next Thursday, with their next pre-season challenge match not scheduled until Friday, February 21 against Manly.

It means Penrith will face the extraordinary reality of going into a round one match with almost all of the 17 players not having played a minute of pre-season footy.

Only a couple of players who took part in last Saturday’s trial against Canberra would be likely to be named for the Las Vegas season opener.

And yet last year the NSW team had 2 sessions with St Marys, 1 with Wenty and even 1 with Storm Flegg prior to Origin games, although they are in the middle of the season rather than in February when all the minor clubs are unprepared.

And yet last year the NSW team had 2 sessions with St Marys, 1 with Wenty and even 1 with Storm Flegg prior to Origin games, although they are in the middle of the season rather than in February when all the minor clubs are unprepared.

This is also exacerbated by the issue of Penrith going to Vegas which hampers their preparations.
