Whites had a trial on the weekend against Wests and a Trial the week before in Kiama.
How is Easts shaping up against Royals this weekend?
Any other trial news from any of the other sides?
Whites went down to wests convincingly. Missing villi iongi which adds a lot of spark but missing too were wests between 4-5 key players. Pama Fou played his best game of the year for runners scoring 4 and setting up another 3 will be a great addition to wests. McKercher looked good for Wests as did the young winger not sure of his name but had pace and skill. Any news on trials this weekend? News that wests have maintained young academy prospect dylan t-simpson. I believe he missed all last year with a shoulder recon but should be a great addition to what was already a great backline. Watching royals over the last two weeks at training, look big and skillful. I heard Lesberg is making big inroads there.
I can confirm Easts v Royals. All grades to Royals.
I wasn't there, so can't really comment on matches. I do know we were missing a lot of players this weekend - resting a few with minor injuries for season proper.
Happy Colts had a game - their first training was on Thursday night.
watched the royals vs easts game on saturday...royals backrow looking a bit different from last year, few new faces? anyone give me a run down of whose who?

Our problem is getting blokes to commit to off season - the amount of guys showing up just before season is dissapointing. Club seems to have an image problem regarding how social we are. I hope we can change it - blokes should know getting flogged isn't much fun. A good preseason's fitness does wonders. A good off season in our new free gym would hurt either.
I hope you don't mind me butting in, Empire. On what you have stated I don't think your club has "an image problem" at all; it seems to be a problem of club culture. It's not about perception; it's about the reality of the situation.
Colts having "their first training session" in late March; "guys showing up just before season"; "our new free gym" not really being used in the off season. This seems like a club that is not just sick but if not arrested slowly dying.
In competitions as strong as that of the ACT the old piss culture no longer has a place. And we are letting kids down if we don't encourage them to explore their playing potential.
I hope the club is addressing these issues.
Yea, quite a few of the boys are glad to see them back - all were good mates/team mates at Eddies.
You never know, the Ahosivi brothers might come out of the woodwork and have a run if all these guys are enjoying themselves, purely speculation however, but mates usually pull other mates along.
Another player who looked very good on the weekend was Sam Shirley - plenty of aggression and strong running. He'll be either 4 or 6 this weekend.
Have the Whites played any trials lately?
