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.

Melbourne Storm vs Newcastle Knights
Kick-off: Sunday, February 27, 5:45pm (AEDT)
Venue: Mars Stadium, Ballarat
Final team news
The Storm have made two late additions to their long bench, with Harry Grant and Grant Anderson joining the team.
The Knights will be without both Daniel and Jacob Saifiti. Mitchell Barnett will start in the front row for Daniel Saifiti, while Pasami Saulo replaces Jaron Purcell on the bench. Honeti Tuha and Cooper Jenkins have also been added to the team.
Ealier
All of Jesse Bromwich, Kenneath Bromwich, Christian Welch, Felise Kaufusi, Jahrome Hughes, Reimis Smith, Justin Olam and Cooper Johns have been named to play their first game of the season.
With Harry Grant and Brandon Smith to miss Round 1, Tyran Wishart could be edging closer to a first grade debut as he is named in the number nine jumper, while Ryan Papenhuyzen's first game will be Round 1 after he failed to be named.
Questions over whether Kurt Mann is set to start in the number 13 jumper for the Knights this season will continue to be asked following his selection there for the club's second trial against the Storm.
Newcastle are otherwise at full strength, with Adam Clune firming to partner Jake Clifford in the halves, and Dominic Young potentially having the inside running for a wing spot opened up by an injury to Hymel Hunt.
The likes of Kalyn Ponga, Dane Gagai, Chris Randall, the Saifiti brothers and David Klemmer will play against Melbourne as the Knights look to nail down combinations and improve their attack ahead of 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 ?
