Auckland Nine's offical Tournament Thread

[Kingbilly]

Oh I always think we are in for a good year as I am the infernal optimist. (2009 anyone?!). I just meant that we need members like you with a good sense of humour to get us through the season.

The "good" part is highly debatable, just ask my kids

For some of you about to jump off the gap....don't worry it's not real football.
In our next game I reckon Donald Duck should be given a run at fullback and Peppa Pig needs to get her hands on the ball more.

Eels clearly the best team so far in the tournament, looking really fast and well structured.

Hopefully Robbo can get Pearce/Maloney playing more direct in our next match, way too much lateral ball movement against the Broncos.

I think Parra look the goods, they have a fast quick side, they get the ball out quick to their runners. Sandow wants a new contract and is playing well. I would have had a lot of our younger faster kids picked from our 20s and we would be doing well. I hope everyone stays injury free. Trials start next weekend and will be looking forward to that

Dad jokes?

looks like nothing has changed in terms of officiating in the offseason, the vermin handed the match against the Cowboys after being awarded two tries that replays confirmed neither were legitimate tries.

Personally I would have played all 3 Duck brother's.

Donald, Daffy and the late Tony Greig's favourite Daddles. Their Pakistani cousin Duck Urhed could have got a run too.

I was going to say Upsy Daisy and all the Tomliboos for the backline..

Not even 1% of this touch footy comp has anything to do with form indication for the nrl. So u lot that are all ready carrying on with doom and gloom need to switch channels and watch Lassie.

[Andrew Walker]

If we manage to hold the ball we can win this tiurnament. The defence was top shelf

It wouldn't be the Chookpen without gloom and doom, naysayers, whinging and negativity.

happy new year JC.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I kind of disagree with the sentiment that this form doesn't matter.

You don't need to win the comp or even games but I want to see some combination and execution of basic skills... Handling, draw and pass, straight running... To a reasonable standard.

First game our defence was good but attack woeful.

2 games to learn and improve.

[sydroosters]

Horrible in attack, perfect in defence. Hopefully those calling the the club to sign up our stars and not give the youngsters a chance are wumming.

[IRoosterManI]

is it just me or is JWH alot trimmer this year?

[sydroosters]

Embarresing from the commentaters, saying the warriors were through when they were up 19-4. Great come back from the green machine.

He is definitely trimmer... And you might be as well.
