The Debbie Downer 9s.
I am looking forward to this. I think it will be a great weekend for the city of Parramatta. It should draw big crowds over 2 days.
If there was also sprint cars on saturday night it would be a bonus (I'll look this up).
The only thing that could scew it is if the clubs forbid their players from taking part.

I hope that all players make themselves available. Would love to see the likes of Ponga etc with space. Maybe even Drown might play for NZ ?

You would think a number of players would be getting surgery / rehab at this time of the year.

The Downer 9s? Is that like when you win the tournament but it gets stripped due to unrelated salary cap breaches?

A bunch of nations have Tests just after, as well.

So, the question is - will there be crossover? Or will there be a separate 9s team?

You think the NRL or IFL or whoever is running the 9's would have made sure they all their teams were ready to play and no issues like Countries being banned or players boycotting getting in the way...

Its not like the they decided to have it 3 days ago...
