Auckland Nines squad

[OzDragon]

sack McGregor now. i thought we had a good pre season.

That's because we didn't face anyone.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

We look awesome.

Can't wait for the season to start.

The board have really turned it around. Thank christ we didn't put a broom through the joint.

 

[ALSGI]

Oh dear, here we f'n go again.....had my jumper on at the shops this morning....it's back in the wardrobe again...FFS

 

[emu62]

Gee, lucky we sent our good nines team this year.Might have been really embarrassing if we sent a ordinary one

 

[Dragon Revival]

What a shambles! Dropped ball and
no ball movement. Have our guys been
training? Terrible kick by Havili. Dufty got no ball. Field, Sims and MacDonald looked okay but MacDonald looked slow. Surely Garrick is faster. Most of our other players looked pathetic and aimless. Hopefully Mary will get sacked before the season starts.

 

[JDHD]

That Jai Field try was awesome.

Apart from that, though, we played one out off the ruck (in the Nines as well, for f**k sake) and still somehow had a 33% completion rate. Very very ordinary.

 

[JDHD]

Mary has to go, surely. If he loses three of the first four rounds, he's gone.

 

[OzDragon]

Despite the plodfest, Sims continues to impress. He might be in for a big year.

NO game plan. How many hit ups with no pass. Look at the structure. No defence. Flat-footed. Passing to players standing still.

No change to last season. Please announce our new coach NOW!!!

 

[Dragon66]

Compared to the other sides that are playing so far we look like a first grade side out of Group 16.

But I guess if you won't tackle, and can only run one out - you probably could say it wasn't a bad performance

So much for the toughest preseason yet.

One week closer to McGregor's exit is the only real positive to come out of that game. Hopefully they will show us something in the next game but i'm not hopeful.

 

[possm]

Oh dear, what a rabble.

 

[csghea]

Did they even try to play? Had to go get breakfast, i couldn't watch that pathetic effort.

It really does show you the difference in professionalism between Parra and Saints.

 

[JDHD]

Could be worse, though. Imagine being a Warriors fan. What a nightmare that must be.

 

[Mickthedragon]

Wow,we got pumped!

 

[Mickthedragon]

What happened to the warriors?
I turned it off after our pathetic effort.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Chin up guys, bound to be a bit rusty for the first run. Wait for the second game - it'll be awesome.

 

[OzDragon]

What happened to the warriors?
I turned it off after our pathetic effort.

No Johnson.

 

[Alec's-saints]

i know its only the nines, but the attitude was not displayed this morning. Surely this is the end for the merkin

 

[possm]

We played our boring 13 a side game plan instead of exciting 9's football. Oh wait a minute, Mary is still coach!

 

[Dragon Revival]

Why were De Belin, FaiFai Loa, Matthews and McInnes picked. They are pedestrian and hopeless. Mann comes on late and is arguably our best player.
