YES there are FOUR,(4) trial games for Melbourne
One at Olympic Park - One in Morwell - One in Ballarat & of course Aami Park
O Wait !! I've posted this in the wrong place haven't I ?
It's the Melbourne Rebels who are playing VICTORIAN COUNTRY trial matches !!
Shame the NRL doesn't think there's any point in having RL trials there
No interest you see
Sarcasm most definitely intentional

That is not going to help anything.
What you fail to understand is that the current administration (which is exactly the same as the old administration except the independent directors have been replaced by more stooges) don't give a damn about the fans.
We've been having these fights with them since 2003 when Waldron's goon squad took over. Rational argument doesn't work, pleading doesn't work; why not try sarcasm.
Again for the hard of thinking:
THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE FANS!
THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT CARE ABOUT GROWING THE GAME!
Bring Back Reebs!
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

But i find that still after all this time they do nothin other than a piss poor effort in regional victoria.
Just to be clear... the trial matches are not set out by MS they are done by the NRL...
And the NRL have so far shown that they will never ever ever in a million years... help Melbourne Storm
whether that be in the city or regional areas... such a shame too....
Would be great to support local groups in Victoria with a trial match or two...

My understanding was that the NRL play bugger all role in trial matches. The scheduling, ie time, date, location, is all negotiated between the individual clubs who then nominate two matches to the NRL to be their "official" trial matches which the NRL then rubber stamps.StormFront wrote:Just to be clear... the trial matches are not set out by MS they are done by the NRL...
The only purpose of the two "official" trial matches is that they count as matches for the purposes of suspensions. So if a player is suspended for three matches following a report from the grand final would return in Round 2 of the next NRL season.

If the other team doesnt want to travel down here I dont know what we can do, hopefully the IC will address this.
And considering the "Super" 15's ,or whatever they are, is a short season the Webels need to play as many games as possible in Victoria.
Personally I think they'll fold in a few years.

Thank you trial matches and you are correct,Clubs court other clubs to play trial matches
We have an understanding with the Sharks and Warriors for a trial match every year
We also have a 3rd trial normally with someone else,last year it was souths (Back to redfern)
Around Storms first few years in the comp they had Storm staff go to the schools in the Goulburn Valley district, which resulted in a Rugby League Tournement with a large number of schools participating.
Thats right.. victorian country schools fielding league teams!!
The winning school > Mooroopna was meant to go to Melbourne to play agaisnt a team down there. But the school wouldnt send them.
I know this because my mate played in the team that won.
My mate said no one from the Storm came back to his school since his time there.

erm ? RightCoffs Harbour, Bega, Port Macquarie, Alice Springs, Tamworth, Cairns, Muswellbrook, Wollongong, Newcastle and Rotorua are among the centres that will host 27 pre-season matches ahead of the start of the Telstra Premiership on Friday, March 11.
“The countdown has certainly begun for the 2011 Telstra Premiership and the pre-season provides some great opportunities for members and fans to get out and see how their team is shaping up,” NRL Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, said.

I think that the NRL clubs have spread out the trial games among region areas and new expansion area well this year, even better then last year. The one and only down side is that the Melbourne Storm has not managed to secure a home trial game. However they may have thought that a home trial game is unneeded as playing all away trials will harden the players up for the season ahead and because they start off with 6 of the first 8 games at home.
