Squad for the Auckland 9's

[Sabre]

I'd rather see us use Cherrington and Liddle at the Nines anyway.

 

[king_sirro]

IMO the certainties should be:
Addo Carr
Naqaima
Rankin
Cherrington
Parahi
Lawrence
Drinkwater (think his passing and kicking game would be important)

Same. Cherrington and Liddle would be far more effective in the 9's.

Tedesco's out , can tell you that

Don't think he was ever in but thanks..

Not good enough , yeah I know

Oh Tedesco is more than good enough….what games you watch...more that he was never being considered for the 9's given coming of a clean up....Why would you risk him...?????

Can someone correct the spelling of
AUCKLAND in the thread title lol:

 

[Tigermama]

18 man squad for the tournament. Who should go, who should be left at home? Would not risk Tedesco or Woods.
Would definately take Parahi, Addo-Carr, Cassel, Karwhin, Moses, Seve (if still around) and the Sironen brothers.
Unfortunately Farah has ruled himself out as he has more important things to do then commit to the club paying hime 900k per year.

Anyone know when it is actually being named?

I could be mistaken, but Robbie was never going to be playing in the Aukland Nines anyway.

Where'd you hear that?

I assume that since he made the All- Stars team, he wouldn't be playing in the Nines too.
Could be wrong.

Is Robbie bringing you back anything maybe an NFL Super bowl cup?

Wouldn't say no, if he did :laughing:

Last year Taylor said he wanted to keep the main players to sydney to work on combos, but that in 2016 he would send a stronger team. Interesting to see if he sticks to that. Personally I think it would be good for Moses and brooks to play. Give them some confidence playing in so much space

 

[Harvey]

Can Brooks play? I know that he can play in trials, but thought the round 1 suspension means they cannot play in certain games like the all-stars & 9's (someone posted the rules before). Not sure whether Brooks & Halatau can play

 

[TrueTiger]

I don't really know what JT is planning for the nines,and I know that most on here are going to give me :bash for this but,Parahi,Addo Carr would be certainties,Parahi for his skills in the sevens rugby,Addo Carr for sheer speed,the Ipswich boys would be handy for their rugged hard playing and tackling,I know you think Im :crazy but its just an opinion..

 

[ricksen]

I'd defo send Moses, let him get a bit of confidence up. We desperately need him to have a big year.

I agree, good for confidence.
Also will he be the main goal kicker this year, or hasn't that been decided on yet ?

Someone posted that from the annual meeting Taylor prefered that Moses only do general play kicking.

So he did. I'll be very disappointed if we send a similar team to last year. They gave us nothing to cheer about last year in any competition, they could at least send a competitive team for us to cheer for.

I'd go with this squad, no particular order.

1\. Simona
2\. Rankin
3\. Parahi
4\. Naiqama
5\. Moses
7\. Che-Kam
8\. Cherrington
9\. Addo-Carr
10\. Aloiai
11\. Buchanan
12\. Cassel
13\. Drinkwater
14\. Heleta
15\. Sue
16\. Curtis SIronen
17\. Littlejohn
18\. Lawrence

Not much size but creative, fast, decent defense
