Auckland Nines squad

[Old Timer]

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

We did if we hadn't they would have put 60 on us but the boot camp web site claims they have never heard of us.

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.

Mann's footwork in traffic was the highlight other than the 1st 20 seconds.
Must say Sims was the most impressive forward and does look quite good.
Hope he proves all my doubts wrong only time will tell.

I thought we had picked a team and a game plan to win?! I watched a few games before ours and we were the worse team on the paddock so far. One out running with no looking to pass. No attacking structure to speak of. Kick on the last and then watch the other team play the game as it should be.

I don't believe Parra had that many better players then us. Just a better coach with a game plan that blew us off the park. I can't imagine it will be any different in the 13 a side game either.

I'm overseas and can't watch, but hey, good news, if they play like this in the first few rounds then Mary is goooonnnne.

Agree about Sims, his co Capt and his other bearded mate were very 2016ish.

Even though i'm not really taking the 9s too seriously, I will say this..
Field seems to provide an attacking spark that this team desperately needs. You can tell his vision is excellent and we've already seen how quick he is on his feet. If he plays well in the trials he deserves the shot ahead of our other halves options. I'd rather take the risk on Field than settle for a vanilla Josh McCrone.

Best thing about that game was jai field kicking that 40/20 late in the game. It showed nice vision and skill. It looks like he may have the tools in attack but can he tackle the big men?

He left Radradra and French for dead. Picturing his speed and vision pushing up into the line with Frizell or Host on his inside shoulder makes me drool.

The boot camp probably took our name off their website after that first nines game. Bad for business.

Game 2 coming up. Low expectations - please surprise me.

 

[OzDragon]

What a f**king frustrating team.

Look half promising then go to complete shit in a heartbeat.

 

[Dragon66]

So far my low expectations have been met. This is not touch football but our team doesn't seem to know it. Tackle boys!

 

[OzDragon]

Wow! Field!

 

[Old Timer]
