NSW Cup trial players that I can identify

2 Wilson de Courcey
3 Fletcher Hunt
4 Kevin Naiqama
5 looks like Harley Walker
6 Taj Blackman I believe
7 Liam Sutton
8 Hopwood
9 Malachi Smith
10 Tyrone Thompson
12 Manuleleua
 
reserve grade side

Hopwood and Ty Thompson starting props

Liam Sutton is 7 and his brother is 1

Fletcher Hunt at 3

I think it's Cal Burgess in 13

Malachi Smith at 9 I think

Kevin Naiquama in 4 I'm pretty sure
 
1st try to the guy with the Cal Burgess head tape in 13 - but might not be Burgess - looks taller
 
Manuleleua took a strong run and then backed it up by putting the winger away down the sideline with a cutout pass that resulted in a forced line drop out.

Early and don't know about the quality of the opposition but most of the ones you'd hope would be doing well are. Tyrone strong. Manuleleua good. De Courcey very strong with yardage so far playing on the wing.
 
Break at 20 minutes
They gave the try to Brock Greasen, so he must be 13

most impressed with Ty Thompson so far - he is getting very fast play the ball, doing some quality offloads in traffic and working really hard
 
The ground announcer credited the try to Greacen but he laughed on the field when he heard it, he's definitely in 11 (can tell by the tattoos). Think you're right about 13 being Burgess.

Hayden Sutton scores next. Seems like 80% of the game has been spent in the Eels 20m zone.
 
#20 almost steps through the whole team to score but is stopped short. Wanted him to get over so they'd say his name, he looks familiar but can't place it.
