Trial Matches

Note: (from northernpride.com.au) - The West Barlow Park hitout, the first fully fledged match for the club since last year's NRL State Championship success, saw the Pride squad split into two teams. The match was adjudicated by a CDRL referee and was played over four quarters. New coach Joe O’Callaghan got an idea of how his squad will handle the Intrust Super Cup heat. Veteran prop Alex Starmer was given 60 minutes in a promising sign his recovery from last year's hamstring tear. Jared Verney (rolled ankle) and Graham Clark (knee) were the only players to suffer slight injuries. Jordan Biondi-Odo’s excellent form makes for an interesting selection conundrum, with experienced five-eight Ben Jeffries suddenly facing a renewed push for the round 1 No.6 role. “This is Jordan’s third preseason with us and he’s been going very well,” O’Callaghan said. “He knows there is a really good opportunity in the halves now with us not getting any Cowboys allocations for those positions.
