In Townsville 97, guys like Kearney and Nikau were dominant. Lazo and Wiki were very handy also.
It's not as touch football as 7s.
Freddy Fittler maybe playing has drummed up more interest in this event than anything about it thus far besides the big prize money.This will be an absolute joke if Fittler plays.
I'd rather see a young 20s player come in, rather then a 42 year old, who will offer the game nothing this season.
Yep, it will be a hard slog with a team which is too undersized.
Cuthbertson will get a run for the Knights I suspect.

This. No disrespect to the tourney as I fully support It and am going with a couple lads. But the news of Fittler playing has every1 that I know that are league fans talking about the 9's who weren't talking about It before. Just look at the pace of this thread and how much It's picked up since the news broke about Fittler.Freddy Fittler maybe playing has drummed up more interest in this event than anything about it thus far besides the big prize money.
Maybe for you, but I'm keen to see some attacking footy and see some of the younger guys given a run

Can't believe you merkins want this legend bullshit.
I will lose all interest in it if it happens.

Freddy would be better than 95% of the U20s players out there in the 9s. So what's the big deal? I thought some of you sooks would want the best playing.
But no, apparently seeing us send out Tyler Cornish instead would be far more thrilling.
So let's ask the average fan who they want to see - Tyler Cornish or Freddy Fittler in this tourny?
Ffs johns has a f**ked neck. He ain't playing, ever.
Only one person seems to have an issue with it. No point directing your rant at everyone given that most people agree with your logic.
Having said that, I couldn't disagree more that Fittler is better than any U20 players in a 9's format. I assume you're just trolling, if so, you're a douche. If you're serious though, there is no way in hell a player in his 40's will have the fitness required to be a star at 9's. He'll be a great marketing gimmick, but anything more than that is incredibly ambitious thinking.
