Possible Nines Side?

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on February 3, 2014 at 5:15pm

A number of 1Eyed Eel members have pointed out that Brad Arthur has stated that none of the players in this week's trial will be playing in the nines. Based on that, one would think our nines dquad is going to look something like this:

1. Justin Hunt

2. Jarryd Hayne

3. Will Hopoate

4. Willie Tonga

5. Joseph Paulo

6. Corey Norman

7. Darcy Lussick

8. Nathan Peats

9. Kelepi Tanginoa


10. Junior Paulo

11. Daniel Harrison

12. Api Pewhairangi

13. Joseph Ualesi

14. Kaysa Pritchard

 

The numbering I've used is based on 1,2,3 working on one side 4,5,6 working on the other and the scrum three.

Is that the likely way most would see the nines teams being structured? We seem a bit light on backs? Am I missing anyone?

    P.S. Is Kelepi fit enough to play? Also I've included Kaysa but I've not seen him mentioned in any pre-season reports?

      I don't believe kalepi will be fit enough to play, in fact you won't see him in round 1 either

      Junior Paulo in twice (5 & 10) so assume one should be Joseph?

      Ron, I'm not exactly sure, it could be related to a leg injury..

      Kaysa trained today Kelepi stood on the sideline

      How's Loko doing?

      Loko's long term

    Really surprised Redrada is missing, he would be devastating but I guess it's an opportunity for him to work on his positional play and defense in the 13 a side game.

    Take out Pewhairangi and put in Faraimo imo.

    Kelepi will brain it i think.
