St George Illawarra coach Anthony Griffin has named a 24-man squad for the Dragons' second pre-season trial against the Parramatta Eels at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on Thursday, February 18.

Andrew McCullough will don the Red V for the first time against the Eels, mere days after arriving at the club.

Cody Ramsey, Billy Brittain and Jack Bird will also be welcomed additions to the squad following the Dragons' 36-28 trial loss to the Sharks last week.

Eddie Blacker will also be available to play despite taking the early plea on a dangerous contact charge from last week's trial. He will miss the first three weeks of the regular season.

The trial will kick-off at 6pm. There will be no tickets available for this game, however you'll be able to watch on Kayo or NRL.com.

Dragons pre-season trial team to play Eels (alphabetically):

Daniel Alvaro, Junior Amone, Jack Bird, Eddie Blacker, Billy Brittain, Luke Chalker Josh Coric, Kaide Ellis, Mat Feagai, Max Feagai, Jackson Ford, Zeik Foster, Jaiyden Hunt, Hayden Lomax, Andrew McCullough, Sitiveni Moceidreke, Cody Ramsey, Charly Runciman, Shaun Sauni-Esau, Tariq Sims, Tyrell Sloan, Jayden Sullivan, Brayden Wiliame, Tyran Wishart

Yeah he did I believe and he’s in the all stars.

 

[kit66]

Yeah he did I believe and he’s in the all stars.

I didn't know he made the All Stars, good on him.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

I didn't know he made the All Stars, good on him.

That’s better than a reggies trial. He’s starting at 12, good chance to push his claims.

Why can’t we name a team, instead of a squad?

Most other clubs name a team..

I’m outraged. Let’s start a petition. Who’s up for a march through Martin Place?

Daniel Alvaro, Junior Amone, Jack Bird, Eddie Blacker, Billy Brittain, Luke Chalker Josh Coric, Kaide Ellis, Mat Feagai, Max Feagai, Jackson Ford, Zeik Foster, Jaiyden Hunt, Hayden Lomax, Andrew McCullough, Sitiveni Moceidreke, Cody Ramsey, Charly Runciman, Shaun Sauni-Esau, Tariq Sims, Tyrell Sloan, Jayden Sullivan, Brayden Wiliame, Tyran Wishart

Interesting squad.
So, who plays fullback? Sloan, Ramsey, maybe Moceidreke.
Where does Bird play, and how many minutes (realistically)?
Hookers, well BB returning from injury, McCollough the same, so a lot of responsibility on young Wishart and Lomax.
Halves are Bud, Amone and Foster
Wingers/centres are the Feagai's, Moceidreke, Ramsey, SSE sloan, Williame and Runciman.

Both Jhunt and Wishy are on t&t contracts, final chance to impress. My feeling is 1 will grab a top 30 spot the other a DS contract.

Thats good I hope he gets a deal with them, even wouldn't be disappointed to see him win man of the match. I wish the man no ill, we just have better options.

I am looking forward to seeing how Daniel Alvaro fares. I am hoping he has a big game against his former club and in doing so gains plenty of confidence for season 2021.
