Not expecting too much from the 1st trial. Probably sprinkle a couple or so likely round 1 starters with the rest, the unlimited interchanges pretty much gives everyone a run and test some backup combos..
The 2nd should be probable round 1 starters working on the basics, combos and maybe test some shapes under match conditions.. and sort out the possible bench starters

I think most will be managing expectations about who or how long potential starters will play in the first trial.
I’m personally looking forward to seeing how the next gen of players are developing and who will get a run, while seeing if fringe first graders like Tom Ale can command a spot in the 17 for Round.1
Looking like a crowd of around 10000 for the game.

Wow that’s a good crowd for a trial.
Thats more than u get at some nrl games.
What kind of crowds do the Auckland blues get these days?
Tickets in hot demand for Christchurch trial
Fans urged to move quickly to secure seats for Preseason Challenge in Christchurch.

I believe the stadium holds 17000. Having close to a sellout for a trial game is amazing.
What a time to be alive!Over 10000 tickets sold already.Tickets in hot demand for Christchurch trial

Yea I was thinking the same. My parents are going to the preseason game and when I spoke to them on the phone and said it's only the preseason game you should go to the actual game in round 3 they sounded surprised.
Could also throw in some of the younger guys for a hit out too/try some newer combinations too?
I'd expect RTS would want to be in the preseason games.
Last year's first trial still had a decent starting side with a bunch of first graders
With the All Stars not playing, I think we can still expect something like
Tuaupiki
Montoya
Berry
Leiataua
Aukusitino
CHT
Metcalf
Ale
Lussick/Roache
Afoa
Halasima
Laban
Going

Round 3 almost sold out, was hard to find good seats
Pretty good basic explanation of the game to an NFL fan. Who’s know how well it will go but one thing going for it is the NFL and NRL seasons don’t really cross over.

I want to have my 2 cents worth over the Vegas games after reading this article that the NRL hopes to penetrate the lucrative USA market place and grow rugby league in the United States.
My 2 cents is that it sounds like a complete waste of time. Rugby union has a much better footprint in North America and they don't have much success. We will not accomplish anything by trying to grow the game of rugby league there. I have lived in Canada for a long time. Grass roots rugby union is strong. Despite that rugby is minuscule compared to the major leagues. Cricket is also played extensively in North America with competitive leagues but no one cares about it. I think the NRL are whistling Dixie with any attempts to expand in North America. Growing the game in Australia in states where it is less popular would be a better bet.

The Great American Dream: Why Vegas is boldest bid yet to conquer US market
Rugby league has been seeking to gain a foothold in the USA for 95 years but the NRL's Vegas venture is the most serious attempt yet, writes David Middleton.

It is a calculated move for money and value, not to grow the game per se..
