nines

[ChookMaster]

Considering we will have a longer, more refreshing offseason next year. Will we assemble a strong team to try and take out the nines? This year it wasn't considered a priority due to much larger commitments ( wcc) and also a rushed offseason. Players like rts, toups, hastings , guerra , nene & even Pearcey who I thought excelled at it this year. Will we try to win the silverware or?

This is like the old amco cup - silverware for the also rans

9's is a wank... Easts need to avoid unwanted injury..

Just play mini, fitzy and freddy again. If they need 5 from our top starting line up they can take FPN, evans, hastings lestrange and napa.

I reckon we should blood some youngsters - goodsell, martin, rueben, elliot, even latrell mitchell?

freddy , hastings and maybe even hastings senior?

Think mini will play?

Rubbish tournament that only crap teams like Cronulla and Parra take seriously.

The winner of this comp should be able to use the winnings to spend on a player cap free.

don't understand this train of thought...

you are more likely to get injured in a full 13 v 13 NRL trial match than a muck around touch football game of 9s ... think about it

Actually its almost the other way around, the injuries can be a little different but common.
The fatigue and management to play multiple games in a day are a challenge. Get more hammys and knees at these types of tournaments.

Lol! Any game has a chance of injury and IMO this concept causes player overload and opens the opportunity for injury with little gain.. Preseason are built on winning the NRL competition not a 9's wank fest.. Lachlin Coote..
