I wonder if Blair and Sadlier will play in any friendliest on the off chance they sign

Adam Henshall has said that pretty much since the day he arrived. So, I would say yes to your assumptions but much more detailed in the way that makes a trial pretty much superfluous. In other words we wouldn't be taking a flyer with anybody, but all signings have some element of risk.
So no try before you buy
Wasn’t Jon Taylor On some sort of trial with us
