Des Hasler says a series of off-season surgeries to his biggest stars is the reason Marty Taupau will be the only Manly player of note who features in this weekend's Nines.

'It was always going to be difficult': Des defends lack of Nines stars
Des Hasler's sides have never had much joy at the Nines, but this time the Sea Eagles coach has a good reason for not trotting out the stars in Perth.

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Each club must include a player from their top-six pay bracket and a dozen of their top-30 stars, a criteria Manly meet.

I’m not sure the 9’s is a way to exactly “ showcase” some young talent , other than how fast they are.
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but I think these competitions are a waste of time I’d rather see a “ magic weekend” with all 16 teams fielding 30 man squads , all knock out games , 4 x 10 minute quarters , golden point normal rules but trial some new rules.
That way it gives the up and comers a chance to show their wares in a “ proper “ game.
Unlimited interchanges, so players don’t get too fatigued.

I'm pleased at the inclusion of Zac Saddler. It shows me that Des is impressed enough with him to give him a shot at pressing for First Grade later in the season. I believe he is a 'development' player so this could happen if we have a lot of injuries to our top 30 forwards, couldn't it?
The better Robbo
Bencher
Correct. The guy has massive wraps on him and definitely one for the future. Alot of talk on here about schuster and the likes but this kid could be as good or better than any of them
There is no such thing as .... too many good forwards ...
as @Mark from Brisbane says, these 9's games are basically a run and giggle contest. BUT it's still good to see some of the fringe guys having a trot. What have we named ? 2 regular first graders in Kapow and Sandwich.
I think the forwards selected are awesome and seeing Ipape selected confirms he is doing well at training and with his pace could do some damage.
And Waddell.
I love the squad, so many with potential, I will try to watch our games just to get a glimpse of the youngsters. Possibly surprising that Aukafolu made it but Sam Smith didn't?
It's not a proper rugby league match but that's fine, should be fun to watch and hopefully less chance of injury than in a full on first grade standard trial.
Interesting too that he is said to cover 5/8, back row, and hooker. With him, Cus, Croker, Ipape, and Dockar-Clay all selected, we will get a quick glimpse of all the back-ups!
