Auckland 9's

I just wanted to see if any other members are going over to Auckland for the 9's.  I am going over for 5 days and am really biting at the bit to see some sort of footy!

  • That's awesome ! I hope you have a great time. Would be an amazing experience!
  • Should be entertaining, looked very successful last year, im sure it will be even bigger n better this year, youll have to report back and give us a wrap.

  • If anybody wants Kava, i know a good guy on the net to get if from, tastes like shite and for the effort theres not much return but its good fun for the mancave.

  • This 9s tournament should be scrapped. It causes a lot of injuries pre season. The coaches dont even attend it. The clubs do not play their top  FG players. They use old stagers like Fittler, Gasner, etc. And its in NZ. The games serve no purpose. Get rid of it now

    • I actually enjoy it, and the only coaches that didnt attend last year are the ones that think they are above the rest ( Pricky Stupid and Bitch Bellyache), and yeah we may not have a lot of top players in it but it exposes some young talent and also players we have missed, hopefully Hindy pulls on a jersey or Burt
  • Love your dp
  • Sorry muzza I don't mind the 9's but don't get to excited with it. It's good fun. I cannot stand the all stars game - to me it's a Mickey Mouse game and I'd rather watch a trial on tv but of course they don't show them. What next ? There will be a kiwi all stars game? Seems like more footy when the players wanted less...9's concept is ok but trials are better
    • There's no trials on the weekend of the 31st though so teams can still field a "full strength" trial team.
  • I am staying at Sky City too, from Thursday to Wednesday with 2 mates.  1 Eels fan and I'm ashamed to admit 1 Dogs fan.  Maybe we can get him blind and put him on a boat to a remote island with the rest of the dogs supporters.  Also have 4 mates coming same time frame but staying at University Hostel.  I am 50/50 with the format, I would prefer like the old sevens with developing teams like Tonga, Samoa, USA, Papua New Guinea, maybe NSW country, Qld country, a Victorian side It would show off a lot of young and emerging talent whilst growing the game in other areas.  Don't risk a lot of the super stars but instead discover some new ones. That way the inclusion of former greats could actually serve well for pure experience and wisdom to the new crop.  Each team to have 2 fans in each team with guaranteed game time.  1 auctioned and 1 drawn out of current club members. I wish I was rich or CEO of a major company, I would offer some serious prize money and incentives to make it worth while.  Then televise all trials to really get us in the mood for the start of the season.  Please don't be to harsh it's been a long off season and I am going crazy!

  • Is the Auckland 9s be showing on pay TV or win
