Squad for the Downer Nines

[Poupou Escobar]

There's plenty of ex-Eels in the Nines squads:

Canterbury: O'Hanlon, Smith, Williams

Manly: Goodall, Lavaka, Mateo, Taufua, Wiliame (Buhrer too if you want to count uncontracted local juniors, but in that case there's probably plenty more in other clubs)

New Zealand: Robson, Wright

Melbourne: Green

Easts: Henderson, Lussick, Tupou

Newcastle: Pauli

Penrith: Dockar-Clay, Latimore

Wests: Hunt, Seumanufagai

Cronulla: Paulo

Gold Coast: Davis, Mortimer

Green and Mortimer are captains of their teams:

Silent "K" I would imagine..


silent "s" would be a bit of a problem though..

 

[Joshuatheeel]

13 players from the manly squad are off contract

 

[eloquentEEL]

Here's a comparison against last year's squad. The new faces may be a slight downgrade on the names they've replaced, but with 10 out of 18 players returning with 9s experience from last year (and an extra year of NRL experience), the squad is probably a bit of an improvement overall.

Bureta Faraimo (returning)
Semi Radradra (returning)
John Folau (returning)
Brad Takairangi > Morgan
Reece Robinson > French
Corey Norman (returning)
Chris Sandow (c) > Cornish
Junior Paulo (returning)
Kaysa Pritchard > King
Peni Terepo (returning)
Manu Ma’u (returning)
Tepai Moeroa (returning)
Joseph Paulo > Woods
David Gower (returning)
Kenny Edwards > Nelson
Halauafu Lavaka > Toutai
Pauli Pauli > Tanginoa
Luke Kelly (returning)
