“This trial matches will be used to identify and select potential players to form the National Rugby League 7s squad to represent the country in the mini games.
“The selectors will select an initial training squad of 20, which will be scaled down to final 12 players to go to Cook Islands,” he said.
The Rugby League executive is calling on all players who played in the three exhibition matches during the lunching and to individuals who indicated interest with their experiences to attend the trails matches.
Tuhaika said individuals and clubs who wish to take part are encouraged to summit their names or turn up at the venue at the given time.
In earlier reports, Tuhaika confirmed that Solomon Islands Rugby League has received offers from the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) who are willing to provide assistance.
It was in this same note that the RLIF pledged to send two educators and instructors to the Solomon Islands and strongly encouraged SIRL to participate in the Games.
