was at the bulldogs the other day, they basically forced every nrl club to send their marque players.
the way it works is
top 10 (or 9 can remember exactly) players are required to go...so that even includes eg pitchards, kas etc (big and slow) if they fall into that category, then the next 10 you pick i think 3-5 and then the next 10 only 1-2.
im not sure how they rank the players. but based on this, most of our top tier forwards will be 'injured' for the 9s lol. its a silly way to pick but that is how they forced most of the clubs to send their best players.
and that is the reason west tigers are top of the ranks because they all have small fast players in their top 10

They can't force the teams to risk their best squad, its the perfect place to test some rookies, we need to see if players like Phillips can handle the pace and let the coaches try things.

The money is to good for the clubs will take the risk.

Win the nrl monior premiership 100k may have gone up to 150k for 10 months work.

Nines two days work and if you win 600k and as it prize money the club are allowed to share it with players outside the cap so the club and players win.

[The DoggFather]

Each club is required to play at least one of their top five players and at least 12 of the top 25 players in the squad

Top 5 reputation or top 5 paid?

I bet they play Trent the snail so we have some experience in the halves

 

[Bad Billy]

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me, i haven't seen any exciting fast players at our club for a little while (well we did have one but we gift wrapped him to the broncos).

Inu, Morris, lafai ???

 

[Natboy]

If they can't find space in a nines comp, they might as well give professional footy away.

 

[Doggy Styles]

hayne hoppa locke hoff dce..... we are only fielding a team of 5 coz we are that good

Oi that's my name.. Hahaha

 

[rainman]

Sounds to me like a great way for someone to cop a serious injury

 

[terrylamb4lyfe]

We're more about our pack than our backline. Im not real hopeful about our chances in 9's. Hope they can prove me wrong and smoke everyone though.

Wow interesting picks there buddy, can if ask why the inclusion of Reni, I would have thought he to slow for nines.

 

[Moedogg]

T-Rex should be in the starting side,He'd cause havoc for the smaller opposition defenders. Id like to see a repeat of what he did to the penrith markers last year when he took the ball from dummy half to setup the Lafai try.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

I think at least 1 second rower with a good passing/kicking game will be gold.

Agreed. Im not expecting much from us in the 9's comp.
