GAME DAY - Auckland Nines 2016 February 6 -7

[Simonmyers11]

Are people honestly ripping players over one game of nines that we won? Tough markers, jesus.

Goodall tried to get involved every chance, and Ramien had little possession and game time.

I thought defensively, we looked like the best team so far, not that that means much.

Definitely looked like defense has been worked on. I think being fitter helps, can scramble and cover the ruck easier

Jesse Ramien was disappointing.

Looked very nervous I'm sure he will be right he isn't an explosive centre he just usually goes along and does his job with out to much flare he is a very good player though

 

[Brookvale2015]

It's just so good to have something to yell for again - off season is toooooo long

Yeah I made the dog bark I yelled that loud when Parcell scored

Also thought we looked really even keeled. No desperation crap. Just cool, calm and collected. Really impressed with that, even if we lost.

I know it's probably a bit early but I'm calling Andrew Voss the best caller in League.

Anyone know when we play next?

I'm glad Tom Turbo will be out on the wing where it will be catch and run and not too many cut outs...

Oh and I only listened on the radio who were calling it easily the best match so far in terms of overall quality

It sounded like a great game on the radio. Gasnier said it was the best game of 9's he'd ever seen.

Good to see that despite putting on a few kg's, Turbo Tom still has his pace.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Parcell is going to be the one wearing the #9 this year with Koroisau on the bench?

I can tell you guys who didn't see it one thing, Lawrence looks fit and angry.....as for best 9,s game ever.... No, just touch footy... Apart from Tom, potato who still looks like he has a pillow up his jumper and parcell, we don't have much, still haven't seen moltzen... But we will need more points

 

[NewwyEagle]

The scramble defence was great and all of our players looked fit and keen. Mateo looked trimmer today than at any time last season.
For some reason I always feel our nines game plan never differs much from a 13 man game plan. The broncos brought a real good side over and even if we had lost I liked what I saw from our boys.
Did anybody else get really excited when Lawrence was driving the legs near the goal line? No back problems any more.

 

[Loobs]

I can tell you guys who didn't see it one thing, Lawrence looks fit and angry.....

Yeah good on him. If you're told you're not in contention, you're can either sook and fade away, or fight.

Also - congrats to the new staff on getting their first win

Lawrence looked good! The run where he nearly got over the line carrying 3 players was great! I would have him on the Bench for impact
