Auckland Nines squad

[doggieaaron]

Not a bad side. Morris brothers I don't think will play. Brett is still a while off. Graham / Klemmer / Jackson / TRex and some of our other big names will stay fresh and remain here (why risk injury).

Minute if fit will play I reckon.
Elliot should make the team, ditto McInally.

Spot on ,i think mcinally and lindon mcgrady will carve up

 

[Mr Invisible]

I forgot about Lindon McGrady.

I wonder if we'll see an Mbye and McGrady halves combination, with Lichaa / Frawley / Cook in the mix as well.

Yep cant see trent/josh r or the morris boys playing at all so you'd think those guys in the mix,we were pretty ordinary last year but even with our second stringers we should be alot more competitive this time

No point speculating.
Hasler will send the bare minimum required to fulfil his responsibilities.
Mostly, the squad will be fringe first graders and U20s.

I would hope so, why risk injury for some mickey mouse comp that dose nothing more than sell merch and watered down beer

I agree. Who gives a shit about the nines anyway ? Who won it last year ?
If we get pumped in every nines game, then get pumped in every trial, then have no players selected for origin and no players selected for Australia, then go on to win the grand final, who here would be disappointed with that season ?

Yep, and as per Hasler's intense disregard for this tournament it will be a squad with minimum attacking skill, no combination and no defence.

Looking forward to seeing Thompson carve it up in the Nines alongside Mbye. Two of the quickest players at the club.

Yep can't believe how quickly people dismissed Thompson. He was one of our best last year

I would still have Thompson at fb over Brett.....

 

[doggieaaron]

I think thompson will be one of those players that continually backs himself and keeps proving the knockers wrong ,hell carve up forcing des to pick him

 

[sgodllubsti]

the nines are a giggle competition why would you risk any of your better players

 

[Mr Invisible]

Not only that, but it might be a chance for people to see how quick he is in open space.

Thompson
McInally
Rona
Loko (if fit)
Stanley

will be our backline I reckon

Mbye
Cook
Frawley
McGrady
Halves/Hooker

Im backing the underdog , hopefully he turns out like the general 100% mr safe as houses

Teams like the Sharks will try to win it because of the prize money.

Or the Cowboys because they know they can't win a premiership even with their lineup lol

 

[immortalbulldog]

We will pick the most unimaginative and star starved team that mr hasler can get away with

Dont sleep on the cowboys. I think they will be ready to roll this year
