Official 9’s Game Thread

Anasta just nailed it.

I'd rather we get injuries if it means bringing and playing a better team (obviously don't play injury prone players). I understand it tho but when you bring on Ryan to play in the middle for half the game it's a piss take and there is no way around it.

Haha, you'd rather see our players get injured in a nonsense 9's game to play a "better team"....take a valium mate, the actual season hasn't started yet.

probably one of the last times we will see BobCat on any stage so just enjoy it.. the Nines is purely for entertainment and I really don't understand how anybody even assumed the same team was going to be rolled out

 

[DinkumDog]

Sharks scored two tries off forward passes and an illegal kick off from Johnson

If that's the case then why are you calling for the coaches head?

NRL is entertainment. I want to be competitive. You make fans angry at a Legend (that isn't Gidley) that shouldn't even be playing especially for how long he did and where. Piss take.

Run along then

No ill just walk away laughing AT YOU and disappointed at the same time that I've stooped DOWN to your MORONIC level.

Pay selects the team not CHN

We had a great opportunity to beat Sharks if he picked a full strength side ie same team as yesterday or at least lose by a couple

But wholesale changes equals hiding equals back to Belmore

Haha wasn’t having a go at him mate, just pointing it out

Yes I would. Especially with what's expected of us next season. I think it's much better than ruining the confidence we've built up over the end of last year and the first game of the 9's (we should of brought a slightly better team anyways). That game literally could kill Okunbor's career.

Nah mate risk it all for a Mickey Mouse game that no one will even remember by Round 2.

Guessing it's his go to response to everything.

Rnd 2? I'd say by next weeks trial... lol

 

[Suave]

No idea why Ryan played so many minutes. We were never a chance with that slug-like dummy half play. If you name CHN captain you’d think he’d play both games, even off the bench.

Anyway, the excitement generated from game 1 has now been cancelled out so we’re back to square one. Don’t want to read too much into a Mickey Mouse tournament but would’ve been nice to give the fans something to get psyched about leading into the season.

Next Dogs coach?

Clearly the NRL don't see the value in the competitive element seeing as they schedule it right before round 1/ when the premiers are on tour

 

[KLil]

I’d like to see Harper before Averillo in first grade. Maybe I’m being harsh but these two seem to be better all round footballers without such glaring obvious deficiencies

Don't think Harper can do wing... His always been a centre. Averillo can do anything from 1-6

 

[Spoonman84]

With the possession the Sharks had we would have lost that no matter who played for us.

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

Sure, let’s field a team with all our best players so that when they get injured in a useless 9s match we can replace them with our amazing depth.

 

[KLil]

fuck there are some boneheads on TK.. why would you risk the same guys when we saw at least two injuries to first grade players last night.

Not to mention Dufty today with a fractured cheek bone.

Any coach who plays a 41 year old Ryan in the middle is a shit coach lol
