Well its nearly that time of year when our boys return from a short break all bubbling with enthisiam and back slapping, pranking and general optimism towards the impendiing season. All is well in the world, we havent lost a game and the calling out and egging on at training gets boisterous verging on awkward.

At this point of precedings it often occurs that a few likely types are invited down to train a little with the lads and essentially show us what they've got.

Sometimes we have a good look and possibly pick them up, more often we( like most clubs) don't.

So .....anyone on the radar ?

Won't know till after the draft it's usually the ones who dont get selected isn't it?

They are invited after the national draft, it is for hopefuls that are not picked up.

its often before the draft to see whos actually worth drafting

SOmetimes delistees...and occasionally smoklies

I may be wrong but isnt after the ND and these guys look to be picked up during the PSD ?

I think there might be a rule that National Draftees aren't allowed to do individual testing and trialling with clubs.

Let's not worry about the facts of when it's allowed. Just who should be considered? I don't mind if we offer a few NQRs to join as you'd expect they'd be pushing hard to get noticed which might push a few of our own to work that much harder.

Maybe Paul Bevan? If we hadn't picked up Clark I might have even suggested Fev

apparently we have invited Nathan Carroll and Alistair Nicholson

we are also having another look at Trent Zomer, Isaac Weetra and Paul Johnson

Neeld thinks they have something to offer
