If every team had an Legend in their Nines team

I hope that thy do a legend for each team to see a recently retired player play one last time this would be mine for each teamBroncos: CinovaceivaRaiders: TongueBulldogs: El MasriSharks: RossCowboys: BowenTitans: CampbellManly: PerryStorm: FinchKnights: BuderusEels: HindmarshPanthers: ElfordSouths: TuqiriDragons: HornbyRoosters: MinichilloWarriors: LuckTigers: FultonWho would you put as the legend for each team it can't be a player who retired before 2005 because they would be over 45 probably and couldn't play.

Trent to be honest im not a fan of the idea, imo it robs a spot from a young bloke desperate for experience and does absolutely nothing for the 9s or the game.

But if i had to choose one id choose Stan Jurd.

  I dint think nines does anything for a young guy trying to get on the roster anyway. Would much prefer a recently retired legend play... The young guys already play non tackle footy anyway.

  Nines does nothing to get a young guy ready. There's more room to move... It's easier to evade a tackle... I don't care for it at all really. I'd rather see hindmarsh have a run and get a bit nostalgic than watch a young guy who is not ready build over confidence.

  Haha stan jurd. Has Paul carriage been in exile long enough to earns recall lol

  When I say legend... I was more referring to an old guy that can still keep up I guess. Not looking for el masiri or someone who has been out for a long time. Happy for the younguns to play if no one is available that is still up to speed.

  Agree, legends as they call it do nothing. Let the current players have there time.
