I found this from the Herald Sun

Storm will play its first trial match in Noosa on Saturday against Queensland Cup team Tweed Heads.

Bellamy named a preliminary squad yesterday, with fullback Robbie Ross, prop Rodney Howe, five-eighth Scott Hill and utility back Andrew McFadden all selected to make their return from long-term injury.

McFadden has been named at half-back in a team predominantly made up of young players and those on the fringe of first-grade selection.

Ross was named at full-back, while Howe and Hill were named on the bench. Penrith recruits Steve Turner and Luke Dyer have also been selected.

The surprise selection was last year's rookie sensation Billy Slater in the centres.

Slater, recovering from a bout of osteitis pubis, will need to pass a fitness test before being cleared to take his place.

With Ross fit and Turner having impressed in the pre-season, Slater might be forced to switch to the centres this season. But Bellamy said not too much should be read into selections for the opening trial.

"He won't play a full game, but he'll have a bit of a run at centre or on the wing and we'll see how he goes," Bellamy said.



In hearing that does anyone know what the team is for this trial???

That would be Terry Hill!!! :lol: Apparently they call him eclipse, cause he isn't seen very often and when he is it's not as good as you thought it would be.

Stormer, do you mean when he doesn't pass the ball to opposition players? Or when he throws hospital passes?

Very harsh on the bloke. When fit and healthy, Hill is a quality player, and that is a fact. He wouldn't have played for Australia if he wasn't. Especially being from Melbourne :shock:

The number of tries Hill sets up as well as the organisation of the defensive line is fantastic, and he will be welcomed with open arms as far as I'm concerned. I just hope they play him at lock!!
