The question is is des going?

 

[Klemhammer]

Nope

only the the warriors take it seriously

its to see the development of young prospects or match fitness or easing people back from injuries

 

[nikgan123]

Tbh I love this comp so fun to watch I really want us to take it seriously this year

 

[silva]

**** the 9s

 

[Bad Billy]

I doubt des is gonna hold a press conference to tell people if we're taking it seriously or not.
I don't think we will be.

 

[marsh43]

I've heard a couple of key players will be playing as the kangaz had no test at the end of last year.

i dunno.....but we are only sending 8 players.

 

[Moedogg]

We've havent got the players to win the tournament anyway so why bother.....

 

[sillymaddog]

Haha didn't think id get that response.
Mate of mine was at Narellan Bunnings yesterday and bumped into Des who was there for another pay day, asked him about the nines and who is going over and Des laughed at him and said you will have to wait and see.
Thats why i asked the question.

 

[Sauce Head]

The only win I care about at the 9s is no serious injuries

Des has to get over his cloak and dagger bullshit ,it hasnt worked so far he looks silly when he does that and he picks duds week after week and we play crap

Not really cloak and dagger to not stop and talk it over with a random person you bump into, more likely he just didn't want to get into a conversation.... for that matter, its not really cloak and dagger not to be telling everyone your squad every week beforehand is it?

I think its more the media and us fans who talk about Des' mind games, I suspect its more that he just doesn't feel like having those conversations every single week most of the time.

(on the other hand, the squad for the 9s? maybe he just didn't know, because.... who cares? lol )

 

[DoggiesBoy]

**** the 9s

This lol. The only thing than can come from this gimmick tournament is injuries.

WTF was Des doing in Narellan Bunnings? He lives on Coogee Beach (literally) in like a $2.1 million cottage.

I dont think its purely he doesnt want to talk about it its clearly cloak and dagger or mind games watever he wants to call it ,its pretty obvious what it is particularly making changes officially 30 mins b4 kickoff and its stupid when you consider it hasnt worked and other teams have improved over us.

he's a tight arse, sticky tape was probably 3 cents cheaper over there


or maybe he was shopping under the radar

Was it even Des? It might have been some guy called Wayne from Campbelltown just going about his business when dome random starts asking him about something called the Auckland Nines...
