The trials held at Caloundra in September for 15yrs and Open players were very successful with a lot of talented players taking part. These trials were held as part of the Player Selection process for 2005.

2004 Representative Selection Trials were also included as ‘must watch’ games.

The Selection Committee also attended trials in Sydney and New Zealand and viewed numerous videos throughout the year in their quest to select players for 2005.

With so many talented players to choose from the Selection Committee had a very hard time deciding the eventual winners of the Wests Tigers NRL Club 2005 Rugby League Educational Scholarships.

Keebra Park Rugby League and Wests Tigers NRL Club are pleased to announce that the following players have been selected for 2005 Educational Scholarships.

Dane McDonald - Sunshine Coast, Qld.

Nathan Sullivan - Wide Bay, Qld.

Matthew Parata – New Zealand.

Congratulations to these players on a fine effort.

Steve Lavers, Wests Tigers Football Manager said that it was awesome to see so much talent on display in one place.

"It's encouraging to see that there is a wealth of emerging talent out there and i hope those boys that didn't gain a scholarship this year will stick with their footy and keep working towards their goals for the future. Good luck to those that were selected and i hope to see them down at the Tigers in the coming years. "
