Auckland Nine's offical Tournament Thread

I planned my weekend hours around last year's program.
What an idiot!

Note to self; "I must do better".

Note to self; "I must do better".

It's actually almost the same schedule for us as last year so don't beat yourself up too much. Both years our first games have been on around lunch time against Brisbane and last year we played Canterbury on the Sunday morning and this year its' Cronulla at virtually the same time. Same rubbish standard too by the sounds of things..I could hear Souths getting an easy ride against the Riff, so I kept cleaning the kitchen..some things never change..

lol we look so bad :P

[Kingbilly]

defense has been ok
and remember this comp means very little as fair as the competition proper goes

[Guest]

That was painful.

looks like Robbos game plan is to drop the ball ASAP so we can practice defending.

Embarrassing not to score a point in 15min of a 9s game nothing has changed from last year dropped balls and penalties

mhmm and i know this means nothing but you still want to see your team able to hold the ball... our completion rate in the nines last season was terrible and that was the theme for our regular season also

Good luck with the 'youth policy'.

I'd be re-signing SKD and Jimmy as no1 priority.
Tried and true...Grand Final 'cauldron' stars...experienced to the max.

I am enjoying this.
Its interesting how many players can not draw and pass correctly.

Looks like we have one in Elliott.

Mickey Mouse tournament.
I really don't care.

[Kingbilly]

not that impressed with younguns, eliiot was solid as usual I thought. Taane was ok in his limited time.
But the rest of the young brigade were not interesting at all.
Napa put on some good shots that made me smile.

OVerall I think the defense was very good.

has hastings stepped up?

Please don't return me to the days when our team was "16 yr olds versus the men" when Russell [all praise to him as a player and coach] was coach.

We need to re-sign as many of our FG stars as possible.
