A bit of fun for anyone interested.

I'd have

1\. Richards
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Simona
4\. Taqele Nayavaro (FWD)
5\. Koroibete
6\. Sironen (FWD)
7\. Brooks
8\. Woods (FWD)
9\. Farah (FWD)

Bench
Galloway
BMM
Fulton
Lawrence
 
Are there that many backs in 9s? I thought there'd be a couple less centres/wingers and some back rowers or something.

Also, dont think fulton is suited to 9's. Haven't watched any really, but going of union 7s not sure if he's a fit.
 
James Tedesco, one of our fastest?

1\. James Tedesco
2\. Marika Koroibete
3\. Tim Simona
4\. Pat Richards
5\. David Nofoaluama
6\. Blake Austin
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Corey Paterson
9\. Robbie Farah

10\. Curtis Sironen
11\. Taqele Naiyavaro
12\. BMM
13\. Martin Tapau
 
How would you structure a nines team? I'd imagine you'd have 2 centres, 2 wingers a half, hooker, fullback/5-8 and two mobile forwards

1\. Tedesco
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Lawrence
4\. Simona
5\. Koriobete
6\. Brooks
7\. Farah
8\. Patto
9\. Sirro

10\. BMM
11\. Richards
12\. Fulton
13\. Austin
 
This is the type of game Mitchell Moses gets a run mark my words, for the wealth he will now be earning he will be playing NRL in some capacity next year, and the 9s is made for a guy like him

develop

I agree!

We really need to be using this for the young guys development. It will be a small snapshot into the level of physicality of full grown first graders, but with a reduced playtime and no competition proper points to worry about.

I'd leave out most of the older established players. We got the talent amongst the youngsters and newbies that we will still be more than competitive.
 
1\. Nofoaluma
2\. Koroibete
3\. Simona
4\. Moses
5\. Blair
6\. Luani
7\. Taupau
8\. Sironen
9\. Fine

10\. BMM
11\. Lawrence
12\. Akoula
13\. Hoeter/Rowe

14\. Fiagatusa
15\. Lovett
 
Nofo isn't quick, true, but he is a very powerful runner who will be hard to tackle and make solid meters early in the count, I guess similarly to Sironen. Sue is pretty quick, in the NYC finals series last year he was making big meters and some huge line breaks with his speed and hard running in the final against Canberra. He might be suited to 9's too.
 
not sure how this will be structured, I'd imagine only using mostly the young guys though….....although the cash incentive may make it worthwhile using anyone who *could* do well.

1\. Teddy
2\. Koro
3\. Simona
4\. Big T
5\. Moses
6\. Brooks
7\. Siro
8\. Woods
9\. Robbie maybe, be interesting to see how he goes with a bit more room.

BMM
Tapau
Sue
Rowe maybe or Patty

Will they be kicking goals? You'd think they'd be drop kicking them to speed things up.

Whatever team we come up with, I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Speed, Agility, tacklebreaking and ball skills

Tedesco
Nofoaluma
Simona
Koroibete
Moses
Brooks
Austin
Sironen
Patterson
 
Just on the nines, is there any chance the Warriors don't win this thing? Johnson will be completely in his element, and blokes like Hurrell and Vatuvei will be get one on one with defenders all day, and run over the top of them. It seems the nines is custom made for them.

"Speed, agility, tacklebreaking and ball skills".

That leaves Tedesco out. He has none of those things.

Or at least I have not seen them.
