Okay So I don't have a lot of notes.
Team sheets were being kept under wraps, purely for the numbers of other clubs talent scouts in attendance, I personally saw Manly, the Roosters, and Cronulla there, considering the 2 Clubs going around it was no wonder.
Harold Matthews
4 - 4 Blue squad were the Possibles. 2 X 20 minute halves lots of handling errors. Draw was an apt result after leading well the team went down 1 - 3 2nd half.
9 - 1 Golds Squad were the Probables, they played well against the Illawarra side who didn't take a break after playing against the Blue side, they looked class at half time, leading 6 - 0. The score was 3 - 1 2nd half When the team played against the white Illawarra side which was actually U/17 development squad from Illawarra.
SG Ball golds (Probables?)
8 - 2 Overall with good games from the 6, 11 and 15 Jacob Azar, who played with the Squad last year, a year underage and is part of the High Performance unit that has been working with the Toyota Cup Squad. The 2nd half was a little down on the first with a 3 - 1 scoreline.
Blues (Possibles?)
5 - 0 In the first half showed there dominance over the side from Illawarra, noticeable games from the 3 , 6 , 7, 19 , 4 (Vai), 16
In the 1st half, an Illawarra player gave an almost perfect reason to be sent for 10. Parramtta had made a break and constance flick passing and around the player passes caused the break to end 2 meters from the try line, The Illawarra player lined up in an offside position and dived on the ball as it was played. He was sent for 10 immediately, I don't think I have ever seen a player send for 10 in a Trial, but the Illawarra side had time to get their line set and the players could catch a breath as he took his time walking off. unfortunately the team gave up try on Tackle 3 and the try was conceded.
I didn't stay for the 2nd half of that game as I had some appointments to get to that night.
Next week the club is at Mcreadie Oval as New Era stadium is being use for the World 9's Tournament.
