globalrugbyleague - Sat, 09 Feb 2008 10:21:00 GMTMelbourne may have shattered Manly's Grand Final dream but it is the Sea Eagles who will help the 2007 NRL premiers take their first step towards winning the World Club Challenge.

It will be the Storm's only trial in Australia before heading to England where they will tackle Halifax at Shay Stadium, Halifax, on Friday, February 22 before facing Leeds Rhinos in the World Club Challenge at Elland Road on Friday, February 29.
The first round of official NRL trial matches kick off on Friday, February 22, with matches to be played across regional NSW and Queensland including Rockhampton, Mackay, Cairns, Ipswich, Albury, Orange and Cessnock.
