Every NRL club’s train and trial players heading in to the 2025 pre-season

The Bulldogs have given a trio of Jersey Flegg stars a chance to shine in the pre-season. See the breakdown of every player on a train-and-trial deal for the 2025 pre-season.

Last year it was Nathan Brown, Michael Jennings and Matt Lodge. This year, it could be anyone from Gehamat Shibasaki in Brisbane, Izaac Thompson in Canberra, or Morgan Harper in Melbourne.

Then there’s the stack of young talent brimming at each club, with multiple Australian schoolboy representatives making the leap to train with their respective top-30 squads.

In Queensland, the Cowboys have promoted electric outside back Mason Barber, while the Broncos are keen to have a good look at Glen Vaihu, the rugby convert who once outscored Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii in an Aussie schoolboys rugby fixture against Fiji.
