Squad for the Downer Nines

[The Colonel]

Can't believe the Warriors have only made the finals for the first time. They look red hot and will be in front of their home crowd. I won't be disappointed however will be interested to see what Warriors side turns up.

Give French a season at Wenty, he will be ready to reaplace Gordon next season.

I reckon he'll be ready for a wing spot by the middle of the year

In regards to French I agree probably not round 1 but during the season he should get a run in the team if injuries hit at some point especially ahead of people like Ryan Morgan.

 

[The EELiminator]

So we're playing the only side who's actually taking this tournament seriously lol

Trust me if we weren't taking the tournament seriously before we are now!

Is he big enough??? He's definately good enough.

 

[Delboy]

Think the big thing is French will have less room when it's 13 a side, having said that if his developed properly then he will come in when finally ready

Not sure it will be the right thing to push him now. He doesn't have same physique as say Jarryd at the same age

 

[Rhyno]

Hopefully can get the win but I'm worried about the warriors

He'll probably need to put on a kilo or 2 but he'll be fine... I didn't think he'd be ready this early in his career but he's definitely well on his way.. He'll definitely go to AS aka Kelly country next week

They are bring him along well. By next year he will be our starting 1 in a very talented backline.

French looks alright. But whose spot would he take? Morgs'?

What's French's defence like?

I had no idea what you were talking about. With all the talk of him needing to get bigger I seriously thought you meant he would need to go to that Kelly Country menswear store to buy bigger suits.

He's gonna go get a cheap crappy suit? ... dunno what thats got to do with anything

 

[BlueAndGoldPride]

I don't expect to beat the Warriors they look red hot but it's 9's so you never know. Get though injury free and I'm happy

 

[Oscarman]

Tony Archer and Shayne Hayne out of retirement to ref us out of existence in the final? If not, I guess Gavin Badger will do what needs to be done.

We have been good to watch, especially Bevan French, Norms, Tepai and Semi. Hopefully no more injuries.

French will come in handy with tired forwards because of reduced interchanges

 

[Poupou Escobar]

French needs to be in 1st grade. Stick him on the wing and swap with Mick Gordon aka rts and mini

The Nines might be all about open space and long range tries but the NRL is about chipping away and winning the yardage battle. You need a lot more from NRL wingers than just speed and fancy footwork.

French is a fullback/half.

i got worried. I assumed albert kelly.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Give French a season at Wenty, he will be ready to reaplace Gordon next season.

It's looking possible hey? Very smart footballer for a bloke who just turned 20.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I've been impressed. Hopefully he keeps improving.
