  The summer squads have been announced this week. After a few trials I believe they'll be cut down after Christmas. If you search for "Harold Matthews Parramatta Eels 2017 squad" and SG respectively they should come up, not on the official site.

    HM: Campbell Byrd (fullback), Tyler Field (half, he played a bit this year), David Hollis (prop), Henry Hall (prop), Sam Hughes (second-row/centre).

    I did this for the Harold Matthews squad, and am planning to do one for the SG Ball squad later on today. The players that have their names italicised are players that are turning 15 this year

  Forty and I have a post on TCT examining the lower grade players and junior reps to keep an eye on. Here's the link: http://thecumberlandthrow.com/2016/09/19/parramatta-players-to-watc...
  As Ham mentioned, a number of junior rep trials have already taken place, with more to come.

   And here's the SG Ball. Just did it quickly so it hasn't been formatted properly but this should give a rough idea

    Outstanding work Ham. Those squads will trim down a bit before the competition proper. I believe that we won't be hosting any trial matches this year.

  There a few boys who played sg Ball last year that are not included in the squad ? Why is that ?

  Turnbull requested a release to return to Qld, was granted
  
  Jed Edwards, hooker from Lismore, was close to best in the trials
  
  Christian Wihongi, front row Wenty, was dominant in juniors and in the trial
  
  Campbell Byrd, fullback - Josh Gatt , back row - Tyler Whatere , front row. All played Up in age in U16 Div 1 this year and should make the final squad. Byrd should be fulback and has a strong all round game
  
  Tyler Field has been the dominant player in the is age group for the past few years, played Matts this season, will be very I terstint to watch him develop as 7. The backs and other halves are all pretty capable and looked sharp in the trial
  
  This age group has won all Sydney club knock out comps from the 13s to 15s and the coaches and staff expect them to be very competitive again
