if freddy manages to leave someone who could very well be half his age clasping at air after his old right foot step that said player will never hear the end of it.

Good thing JWH is on his side because going out of your way to put a shot on a 43 year old sounds like something that would be right up his alley.

lol, Freddy had a left foot step and how are those two powder puff front rowers you guys fielded last year who couldn't dent a sheet of glad wrap?

Chook.

I suspect a few will be lining him up. Its a nice novelty to add to the event but I think if every club started bringing in ring ins it would become a farce. Either way it makes headlines in the off season so its a good thing

haha I pictured it in my head facing freddy not the other way round.

I think they are resting nicely after a successful world cup campaign.

Stream foxtel to your PC, Mac, SmartTV (LG, Samsung) or Xbox 360 or Xbox One.

There is a 14 day free trial for new customers. No connection fees or cancellation fees... just pay by the month if you wish to continue after your 14 day free trial.

Although that is sweet that they now stream to PC etc. It's so f**king lame that they force you to pick an extra "unwanted genre" for $25/month even though I only want sport. I would prob subscribe if I only got the sporting genre for $25/ month, rather than paying for some useless shit I have no interest in, jacking the total up too $50/month.... Will give the trial a go though, to see what the quality of the stream is like.

It's amazing to think that he was their coach a few years ago.

Bit harsh on Ashton Sims and Glenn Hall. Actually they are shithouse.

Hearing rumours that Lote Tuqiri is going to play. It's a tournament for geriatrics! What a farce!

I don't like Soward, but I think he will kill it at the nines. However only if he takes the ball to the line, none of this hanging back 20 meters to boot the ball down field crap.

I reckon Freddy is pretty realistic about the task in front of him..

Why. Lote has signed to play for souths this year. Fittler has only signed on to play in this comp.

Shit, an NRL player is going to play in the NRL 9's!!!

How did that happen???

 

[Godz Illa]

If I have to explain the joke, then it wasn't a very good one I guess

That's the joke

In time I'd like to see it expanded to an NRL International 9's series. Maybe give it a few years to find it's feet first though.

16 NRL clubs + PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Aboriginal, Maori & one more? South Africa?

A Northern Hemisphere alternative would be good as well, maybe the Magic Weekend could be trialed as a 9's tournament.

The problem with having International and club teams at the same tournamntt is who do the players play for? Club or country? Leave it as a club competition.
