Auckland Nines Discussion

Bugger. Even with only 9 on the field that last try was way to easy. Slow play the ball and still got on the outside just by going through the hands.

Not confident in taking the Knights at $8 now.
 
lots of school boy errors, not enough decent offloads and aku looks lazy... he does have off season fitness issues...

overall exciting game but disappointing finish
 
Forget the five point try's, get the ball out to the wingers that looks like where the games will be won. Sloppy d, hope they can improve, disappointing
 
One good thing is at least you have got the Tigers in your pool. By god they can't even get the basics right like passing to a teammate.
 
Results so far just in case anyone has missed it...

Sharks - 15
Knights - 12

Titans - 22
Tigers - 7

Eels - 18
Roosters - 11

Broncos vs Bulldogs up next, Should be a cracking game !!
 
Taylor was looking good for the Titans, but looked to get injured halfway through. Still think he should kill it this year. Paterson was dangerous. Pearce looked the goods in that last game too.

I think Kevin Gordon got injured in that game as well didn't he ??

Taylor did look good and as much as I hate to say it so did Pearce..

Yeah Gordon went off for a fair bit of it, but he came back in the last few minutes, so probably nothing serious. Yeah it kills me to say Pearce played well too. I find it a bit strange the Broncos are wasting Gillett on the wing, it could be great closer in. I also find it weird how they are pronouncing his name different now hahah

Matt Gillett said in an interview last year that his last name is actually pronounced "Gill-it" not "Gill-et". So now all the commentators pronounce it right.

Can't understand why the Broncos were getting so hyped up before their game, their squad looks no stronger than the rest, both Bulldogs & Broncos aren't showing alot of linebreaking ability.

Looks clear to me that 9s strategy should be just go wide & the space should open up.

Next game up, the speed of the Warriors vs the forward heavy Raiders.

Didn't hear about that actually, but cheers mate, I thought the commentators had just gone crazy. Maybe thats why they changed the pronunciation of Waqa a couple of years back too. I like how Fatty is the only one who says Thaiday without the h too. I need to stop caring so much about how names are said hahah
