NRL Nines 2020...*Live Thread

[GNR4LIFE]

I think its very hard to gauge a player in the 9's format for regular season footy, but Jennings did look fit and seemed to have a yard of extra pace. Walters looked balanced and had a decent passing game, possible hooker option even a bench option. Be good to see how the boys go tomorrow. Didnt get to see slimes game did Stefano play if so how'd he go?

Yeah I agree... Good to see them go well first up but how this translates to real footy is yet to be seen.
Good for confidence for coach and players I guess and good for memberships.... God damn annoyed me no end in years past when we looked like we didn't give a stuff

Saw a good suggestion in another thread that said the prize could be added to your salary cap. That would get teams taking it seriously. Bellamy and Seilbod aren’t even in Perth.

Just saw the polls update.....Tigers have the 3rd most votes as to who will win the 9's.....only Brisbane and Parramatta are above us........good job boys, bring on day 2

But we are wooden spoon favourites
Aren't we

I’m liking the look of Walters. I think he is the guy you put in if Benji is injured or retires. I still don’t understand what Cam Smith didn’t like about his play?

Big call after one 9's game

I reckon we could do a lot better

 

[Spartan117]

Looks ok, remember its the 9s

Stikes me as a hard worker

Mbye appears to need the runs. He looks like he’s been doing weights without increasing his lung capacity?

 

[Tiger_2795]

New mid air tackle rule proving itself the farce it really is

 

[Tiger_2795]

Has anyone kicked a Twenty Forty ?

One was kicked the in the parra v dragons game

 

[Jimmy]

Stefano looks huge

I think the prize money should go directly to the players that won the final
Not the cap
That way the best players might put thier hand up to play in the Nines
Imagine south's win
Latrell Mitchell isn't even playing
Why should he get a share if it goes to the cap
Why should a top club get another advantage

If we want the best players to play then the prize money should be distributed amongst the winning players and not go towards the cap
That's about $55,000 per player
That should be enough of a carrot to get the best players to participate.

Now In saying all that, I think there should be a limit on the number of regular first grade players in each team
If 18 payers are selected from each team then I think a minimum of 5 players with less than 5 games of NRL experience should be selected for each team
And to take it further, a minimum of two of these players should be on the field at all times
It would great experience for these players, and would get them ready for the next step up. It's just a thought but is exciting to see the next generation of players coming along and how they can perform against some of the best players. Even if it is in the short game.

If you can't out run your opposition then simply just carry them over the line

Make it a one off TPA you could use to sign a player for 3 seasons ....

Watch teams send their best 18 then
