The first week of the NRL trials is in the books, and more big guns will come out to play during Week 2, with teams beginning to name their teams for the week ahead.
The final official tune up for the season for all 16 clubs will see most coaches pick something closer to their Round 1 run on team then we saw for most clubs last week, with plenty of stars set to be given their first run.

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St George Illawarra Dragons

Final team news

The Dragons are unchanged.
Earlier
The Rabbitohs will wheel out a close to full strength side for this week's Charity Shield. Cody Walker and Lachlan Ilias will get their first shot in the halves together, while most of last year's grand final team will play their first game together.
Jaxson Paulo gets another shot in the centres, while Hame Sele will start up front. Intriguingly however, Latrell Mitchell has been left out, meaning the Rabbitohs' star fullback will return in Round 3 without a minute of football under the belt.
The Dragons, on the other hand, have named Aaron Woods and Jaydn Su'A for their first games, while Zac Lomax, Ben Hunt, Blake Lawrie, Jack Bird and Jack de Belin play their first games for the year.
The club have also named Tyrell Sloan at fullback with Cody Ramsey on the wing.
Tariq Sims and Moses Mbye have been confirmed as injured, however, both are expected to be fit for Round 1.

Braydon Trindall is suspended until round 3, so the obvious starter for rounds 1 and 2 would be Matt Moyland.
However, he isn’t even on the bench, (injured or dropped), so does that mean wunderkid Luke Metcalf is going to get the #7 spot for round 1 ?
