what if anything did we learn from the 9's today

- - Rhys Martin seems to have put a yard of pace on during the offseason and is clearly benefitting from becoming a member of our top 25 squad and the extra training, he will be a big chance to make his debut this year possibly after the Anzac test when we lose a third of our squad to the Kiwi's or during Origin when Boyd is playing for NSW.

We shouldn't lose anyone Fletch, the Anzac Test is on a stand alone weekend.

As for Origin, I'm not too disappointed in the fact we have two byes following the second and third games. I think it may be beneficial in the fact players aren't backing up after only 2 - 4 days.

anyone that takes much out of the 9s for the NRL season is about as insane as those that think Fittler could still play NRL.

one thing I learnt is how effing dumb these young islander players are.

Our young outside backs were terrible this tournament, also ball control in both the wyong trial and the 9's was horrendous

That's why we have trials isn't it mate???

To blow out the cobwebs, reform combos, make our mistakes when they don't matter etc.

Did anyone expect us to come out and play like the GF???

The only thing I took out of the 9s was our fans ability to get back on the hobbyhorse of wrist slitting and blame game.

Enter BongdiBoy telling us we are farked for round one now.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Drama queens.

I love it.

Robbo doesn't care about the 9's

We learnt the referees are going to cane us again this season for every little thing that can find (or imagine) whilst Marty will suddenly be "cured" of his "poor discipline" due to wearing a Drongos jersey.

Coach and club should start drafting their letters of complaint about the referees.
By the look of things they'll be needing to fire off many to the media and NRL HQ.
