It just showed me how important it is to join the tipping comp....go on get involved otherwise you might not have placed to over analyze a pre season hit and gigle

I learnt that the Nines concept is just about dead in the water in NZ.

The locals just buy a Saturday ticket and if the Worriers fail they don't bother turning up for Sunday.

Talks of taking it to Asia are laughable, the crowds would go even further backwards.

Without a big injection of cash by the NRL, it's doomed to failure!!

Well seen quite a lot of tom over the years dont know about freak but definately has talent. Did some good things in 20s last year( first year in league)pleasing for me at the nines was he looked much better in defence. Don't think he is ready for first grade but a year in the 20s and nsw cup will do him good. Only 19 don't need to rush him. Thought kelly looked good in the nines , sure knows how to find the line.he looks ready

I'll accept your superior knowledge about the kid. Just thought that sometimes bringing a young potential star up a grade, improves their overall performance. The old adage that you tend to play to the standard you are at

I'd suggest Perth or Adelaide instead but it would likely be 45 degrees in February! Tassie wouldn't quite be the ticket, but I'd consider going to get some cooler conditions,
