Auckland Nines 2017

[Zoidberg]

Discuss if anyone is watching the Nines.

For us first match against the Tigers about to start. Maybe our "easiest" game in our group. Hope we can start off with a win.

 

[Knight76]

Trying to watch it on the NRL ap which is always a challenge. Constant stream crashes.

We are up 14 - 0 at the moment, knights way.

 

[Knight76]

Half time 14 - 6.

 

[Zoidberg]

Classic Knights, let a try in right on half time
We have played pretty well though.

 

[Knight76]

Lolz at Taylor in the half time huddle dropping F bombs.

 

[Knight76]

Feeney just kicked a 40/20, still same score as above,.

 

[Knight76]

Bombed a try, had the overlap but instead of going through the hands we put on a long cut out pass that cut everybody out, straight over the sideline.

 

[PhilGould]

Great signs from Lamb & Levi.

 

[Zoidberg]

Yay a win 18-10. Few too many dropped balls but we hung on.
Lamb taking control early in the game and looked good.

 

[Knight76]

Full time 18-10 Knights victory.

We played well, defended well which was good to see. But this was only against the tigers.

 

[Swarzey]

Noticable difference when Feeney took over. Lamb was excellent, Saifiti boys had some excellent carries, Levi was great.

 

[Zoidberg]

Side note on former players.
Aku didn't do much, had a few slim chances but didn't back his own power, plus a classic rush up on a player leaving his opposite unmarked resulting in a break.
Tariq Sims scored a try but didn't add anything else.
Tyrone Roberts, out of our past players I like seeing him do well. He had a good game for the Tits win.

 

[PhilGould]

Aku looked slow. Wish he went to Super League or Rugby instead.

 

[Glendale]

Oh great, we've got our win against the Tigers now that'll be it for the year...

Lamb, Ross and Levi our best three.

 

[Zoidberg]

I'm keen to see Kalyn Ponga play now too. He's been good in the 1st half for the Cowboys.

 

[PhilGould]

This Ponga kid goes alright.

 

[Apey]

Sio looked decent out there. It would be nice not to have to run out 19 year olds and generally bad players on that wing.

 

[Zoidberg]

That's what's been good about our recruitment, we had so many young guys now we've got some experience to throw in with them.

 

[Johns Magic]

Levi and Lamb most encouraging.

Sio is a pro.

Looking increasingly likely that Ross will be a centre this year which is good.

 

[perverse]

Lamb has been shit with the boot against the Broncos first half. Levi looking fairly free in his movement, which is great.
