Pre-season 2020

[innsaneink]

I dont give a rats if we win a game in the nines. Give some kids a run. No injuries.

I disageee 5150...

While i think we shouldnt bet the house on the 9s

I would like to have a decent run of wins with the players we send.

Confidence is crucial and the PR would be great after a noisy off season

Go Hard Tigers


of course I'd like to win anything and everything but if a single player is unavailable to start Round 1 because of this circus, its not worth it.

They can get injuelred at training.... Yiu may be happy to watch us fart around.... We've done that for near on a decade.... I want to see us compete

You are talking to yourself again Ink.

The guys picked will go in 100%, just dont pick the most valuable guys.

or make sense

I read that the NRL will give a $1m bonus to any team who wins the 9s AND the NRL gramd final. Pretty silly I thought, very unlikely that'll be an incentive for any team before the nines are played, and after they are played the winner is already trying to win the GF.

I don’t get that either. Are they saying it’s a bridge too far?

 

[Guest]

What U want me to say...

Make sense and stick to the topic, or what Geo said will become a reality.

A million dollar bonus to a team that wins both, why not just up the prize money for winning the 9s? Clubs obviously take the NRL premiership seriously, but some don't see the 9s as a serious thing. Offering a bonus to a team that wins both, when odds are no team will win both, is just lazy. Theres no incentive there.

 

[TheDaBoss]

I like the Nines myself

good chance to showcase some talent

JD, I wouldn’t like to see the GF winner to get $5m as Phil Gould suggested because it would provide too much advantage to an already good team. The nrl has a heavy focus on being a spectator sport and operates in the spirit of socialism and equality so that each team is competitive.
If they want the nines taken more seriously then just up the prize money for the nines as you say.

Saw some photos of him a minute ago, he’s leaned right down too. All that baby fat is gone and he’s all muscle now. Been on the Madge training schedule

I remember him in that Pre-season doco a couple of years ago, just a kid. Looks totally different now.
