NRL Nines, defending premiers

[Mickie Lane]

They had a 20 man squad last time it was played in 2017.

Connor Watson, Daniel Tupou, Dale Copley, Latrell Mitchell, Joseph Manu, Paul Momirovski, Mitchell Cornish, Isaac Liu, Paul Carter, Kane Evans, Ryan Matterson, Mitchell Aubusson (c), Aidan Guerra, Chris Smith, Zane Tetevano, Brendan Frei, Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck, Bernard Lewis.

Of which, only four a still at the club.

The way that I read it is Kelby is talking about the Roosters 30 man squad & you are talking about a 9's squad?

You read right and so did I.

Last year we took 23 to England. Plus we need to take 20 to Perth. That means there will be a further 10 players not on Kelbys list who get a berth to either game. Trent also said 2-3 senior players go to Perth.

The query is will some players attend both and then take the non-stop from Perth to London? Doubt it, but where do we pull 43 players from? Thats what’s gonna make both squads interesting.

Imagine we win both again.. and then the premiership!

Nines is Mickey Mouse footy. All the stars will be in England. The leftovers will be in Perth.

Mickey the Mouse is the best.
He's such a happy fellow.and so cute.

Yes, all the stars...our very best team...should be, and hopefully will be, in England.

Our next best players should be in the Nines.
We wouldn't be playing the AFL guy for no good reason.

I think are you talking about Mickie Lane.

What is the criteria to play Nines?
Davis is not a contracted Rooster.

Why not give Nick Nyrios a run. He’s always nice and aggressive.

He’s playing for the Raiders

I cannot see it happening, but wouldn't it be something if we could take the trifecta in the Nines, WCC and Premiership? Now that would certainly tick off the supporters of the other clubs!

I don't know about any of you guys, but I quite like our Nines jersey. I like its simplicity. To me, it is quite striking.

I reckon Robbo should have a run in the 9's.

I thought we had already achieved this milestone in 2018, noting there was no 9s comp that year but we were the reigning champions in 2017?
