World 9s 2019

[Perth Red]

Fans can take advantage of dedicated team-specific supporter sections, with a flag included in the ticket purchase.

Pricing is reasonable and well done on creating fans zones

"Supporters can attend Friday's matches from $30 for adults and $80 for families, while tickets are available for Saturday's games, including the finals, from $49 (adults) and $135 (families).

The RLIF needs to take ownership of the Nines though as a official form of rugby league. There are various little tournaments such as Rotterdamn and US, Auckland Nines etc. The NRL have taken ownership of the World Nines by introducing their own rule changes presumably without RLIF permission? The IRB own the 7s curcuit and would never allow rule changes by the ARU when the tournament is played in Oz. The RLIF needs to do the same..

HaHaHa, RLIF control the game? Please do me a favour.

WTF? Why would you play it on a Friday? Was going to travel over for it but probably wont bother now as would only get to see Saturday.

Probably the same wizz bang thinker who thought scheduling the Eden Park triple header against the RWC Final was a good plan

Lol.
They did the same thing for the World Cup in 2017.

I worked the Sydney games.

We ended up giving away hundreds of England, Lebanon and Australian flags.

Jahrome Hughes plays for NZ and Tyson frizell Australia??

 

[welshmagpie]

Jahrome Hughes plays for NZ and Tyson frizell Australia??

Hence strongest ‘possible’ not strongest ‘likely’

Both have Welsh heritage thus making them eligible, as we know in rugby league players can chop and change allegiance at the drop of a hat - though I highly doubt either will be in red come October.

Not a great reflection on the Hunters is it?

Well, they did have a bad season yes. But isn't the point also that PNG Hunter players move on, and join other teams? There is a few over in England and other QLD Cup sides. Just increases the amount of PNG players at that level.

The hunters will come good again. They have the numbers to build another strong team.

Still think they need to be competing in the u18&u20 competitions though.

French squad.
