Wests Tigers 9's Teams *Official

[balmain boy]

A poorly organised tournament. Groups of 4 where you only play 2/3 opponents, kicking off at 730pm on Valentines Day. 32 mins of gametime in total.

It's not worth working on new combinations too much. Chuck guys in and see how they go. Given there's only 2 games there isn't much room for rotation. You'd think Richards may only see a few mins.

No wonder most teams aren't taking it seriously. This version of the tournament is a disaster compared to the previous and far more competent NZ version. Which still got canned

How did you come up with 32 mins ?

2 group games, each made up of 2x8 min halves...

32 mins unless you make the quarters.

[Demps]

it is a lot less contact and more free flowing as well

Like Vince McMahon's XFL

Rugby league nines should have been a small clue.

Nofoaluma tips Talau, Seyfarth to shine at Nines

Wests Tigers: Tommy Talau, Alex Seyfarth
Robust centre Talau gave fans a glimpse of his talents in 2019 when he debuted in the NRL and is primed to excel with room to move at the Nines.

Mobile forwards are invaluable in the shortened format and David Nofoaluma believes Alex Seyfarth can be effective.

"Tommy Talau, he stands out. Alex Seyfarth, a prop. Those two really stand out," Nofoaluma said.

"The way they've been going I think they're going to have a great opportunity. Alex has shown a lot of good potential so I'm looking forward to seeing Alex in the future representing the club."

And the two halves of nine minutes each.

anyone got access??

Seyfarth has never played prop.

He’ll probably end up there, he’s big enough. Either that or lock. He must be training there if Nofa refers to him as a prop.

 

[cochise]

It is a rubbish format!

 

[TheDaBoss]

i like it....

 

[tigerballs]

There is that name Matheson Johns. Big things touted for this kid. Hope he might be the smoky for this season

Never heard of him 5150 , what position ...local junior ...star sign ....whatever you can supply would be nice

We snuck in under the guard of the Dragons and signed him .. Dragons had big hopes for this kid .. large lump of lad for centre but plenty field awareness about .. knows how to sniff out the try line .. Not the quickest, but with his size he carries and the above average speed he has .. he is a very much a handful for any centre out there .. not shy of taking a hit up the forwards to have a rest either. Will more than likely fill out some more and find himself as ball running backrower. Put this kid down as a smoky for the top grade later in the season .. !!

Yet somehow the dragons let him go. He signed a one year CC contract with the panthers and then got released again.

Now he's trialling for a CC contract with us.

Something doesn't add up.

He was dragons flegg player of the year but then walks out the door of two clubs in two years?

I'd certainly prefer him to Heleta or McGuiggan in the centres in CC, but jury is out and if he proves himself in CC then fantastic.

Obviously he's done something to impress Madge in the off season but game situations are a different proposition.

A bit more info...apparently Phil Gould signed him at Penrith pre Cleary. Cleary has since identified a couple of junior outside backs and decided Johns and Waqa Blake were surplus to requirements. With Cleary's history on signing players we might be on a winner!

Think he means a 9s prop as thier is only a front row in 9s
