finally.
Never understood why they didn’t in the first place , you’d think Foxtel at least would be screaming out for content.

Des always tanks trials anyway. Plays everyone in the extended squad and rests his best players
And then we all wonder why we start the season so poorly....
One Des thing that bugs me.
And we usually finish strongly. A method in the madness perhaps…
Well at least we will see our losses in the trials before our unbeaten run to the GF 
I guess it also means the season starts a little earlier , and that can’t be a bad thing.

Remember the angst and carnage after this year’s trial :0)
Des will probably rest the top 13 or so players again, and have two teams of 18-21 year olds out there, in various combinations.
The journos and silvertails will write manly off again.
And if we play the tigers again, their big trial win over manly kids will be hailed as the dawn of a new era.
Can’t wait.

**** that was funny this year , remember the crowd giving them a 10 minute standing ovation and the Tigers faithful claiming that this was “ the year “.

Probably a good idea in theory until Fox (and Nine if they also show the games) deciding on when teams play and against who.
The networks will also demand X% of the regular team play most the game.
If they let teams decide on who they play against and when and which players play it should work well but I can't see the media allowing that.
Teams should play one trial against a bush team and the other against a NRL team taking most the games away to the country fans.

Better that than a star player picking up a season ending injury in a trial match.

Cant Wait !
Agree, I prefer our pre season injuries to be picked up in Saturday night match races on the Corso, or alternately, in the shower
Thats a decent set of ……ears !!
