Yeah pretty bloody retarded. Will enter.Haha have you read the points system. Talk about making the simple complex
Only drama Origin1 is week beforeIf it's anything like last year yeah. Maybe the June long weekend.
**** me I thought it was a tipping comp haha.Looks like a incentive for teams to select good players in the pre-season. Remember what a joke it became at the nines with the Bulldogs putting 2-3 of their NRL guys on the filed for 15 seconds.
Should also get bonus points for left-footed field goals or tries scored by players sporting moustaches or mullets.

Still looks stupid.
ZTi cant find any info on it anywhere
That's true. The schedule and format are definitely confirmed though. NRL.com quotes it and you can buy tickets for those games from ticketek. 18 teams including St Helens. They will play the Dragons first, and then the Panthers in week 2 as the WCC.The NRL is definitely calling the trials the Pre Season Challenge but can’t see they have confirmed that scoring system or prize money

So the trials were always just a warm up run? The point scoring for the club challenge turns it into a farce as anything else. I wonder how many coaches will play to win or use it to trial combos and young blokesThat's true. The schedule and format are definitely confirmed though.

A third source is reporting the same info now. Could all be copying off each other though.

As each year passes they get closer to achieving their ultimate goal, to make the game resemble touch footy as much as possible.So the trials were always just a warm up run?

While promoting Origin as the pinnacle, which they want to be as brutal as humanly possible to appease usAs each year passes they get closer to achieving their ultimate goal, to make the game resemble touch footy as much as possible.
You can just still do that, only reason not to is you really want the 100kHate the idea of a pre-season comp. It should be used for preparation and giving potential younger players a run.
