they are allocated a number. All players will be given a number at the beginning of the
Trials and this number will correspond to their position on the Roll utilised for the trial. This
number will be used to ensure that relevant information is obtained on the player in
question and will be used to provide feedback where required. The rating system for
players will be by using the following ranking system;
1. Below Average
2. Average
3. Above Average
Players will be ranked at the end of the session and this information will be used as the
basis of making any required cuts to the training squad prior to those that will be required
to attend the 2nd Trial dates as above. It is in the Players interest to perform as the very
best standard at all times, whilst displaying the required person standard expected of a
representative player and those expected from their Coaching and assessing staff.
