NRL Trials team lists: Every side's confirmed lineup for pre-season Week 2 image

The second week of the NRL pre-season is here, with the annual Charity Shield and World Club Challenge clashes set to headline a massive weekend.

Latrell Mitchell, Nathan Cleary and Kalyn Ponga will all be in action for their respective clubs, while a plethora of talented young guns will be vying for a spot in the Round 1 side.

In the first week of the trials, it was the Warriors and Bulldogs who impressed many, while the likes of the Tigers and Raiders were disappointing.

The Sporting News has all the team news ahead of Week 2 of the NRL Trials below.
