2017 Auckland Nines

He's been ok, but nothing amazing .... defense has seemed ok, done nothing amazing in attack but has been good - nice kick for a try in the quarter final

he's a nuggety fella - i reckon whoever said he should try to be a dummy half in nrl may be on the money ... tho thats a massive step up in workload

I would say he will likely be a reliable backup half .... but hard to judge anything from the 9s really

My mail is the Fog isnt in the mix to play 9.

IDG for round 1 and King pushing hard to take his spot. 2 x Pritchards on the bench round 1.

You could have asked me about my last trip to the can and got the same answer.

Scarey ... you had a good kicking game?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Scarey ... you had a good kicking game?

Where do you think the term 'shit-kicker' comes from?

 

[Basil Brush]

With Norman out, I'm not as confident. We're still capable on the back of our defence, though

Yeah our defence has been the key.

Keeping 2 teams scoreless in 9s is amazing.

P.s. You struggling like me with both cricket and 9s on?

Well yeah, we have too many #9 options atm

It's tough, but I've managed so far!

Do you have any info on how serious the KE and Norman injuries are?

None of them much chop IMO. King has looked pretty good at the 9's so far but it is just the 9's.

 

[Basil Brush]

Was it Fogs that scored a long distance try yesterday and showed extremely good pace? The commentators mentioned his name but they seem to be struggling with some names.

King looks good. A very good defender and prob better than DeGois in attack.

Kings defence as always been his weakness, if he can do a good enough job to keep BA happy he's probably our best option.

 

[Bazal]

I'd have King over Kaysa, personally. IDG probably to start the year but King on the bench with a view to replacing IDG

Nothing on Norman and KE is a cork but wasnt worth risking (so I was told last night).

Thanks

 

[Bazal]

Eels FB page say Norman has a "slight" hammy strain...for whatever that's worth

 

[strider]

A 15% strain perhaps

I haven't seen any of the 9's, just been following on the internet and radio... For those who have been watching, how has Fogarty looked. Different game I know but interested in people's thoughts on him...

One thing that has really impressed me is how Fog chases the play - a few times he went to tackle a much larger player, was bumped off, but he got up, and chased, and completed the tackle.

Lol

I'm switching between the 9's, UFC, cricket and rugby 7's!

Respect.

I cant watch UFC. I played Union but no real interest these days.

Here we go!!
