Auckland Nines Day 1

[Brett]

It's gonna be interesting to see how our speed compares with the other teams.

 

[morethanjack]

I'm just really enjoying footy being back on the tv. I'm looking forward to see Milford in this format too.

 

[Kimlo]

Tomkins has been ruled out for the day due to a virus.

Knights and Dragons kicking off.

That sucks!

Warriors are one of the teams I was looking forward to the most.

Can't wait for the Broncos game and to see Milford play. Only two hours to go.

I've got the NRL Digital Pass and watching this all from my laptop while at work.

It's free for the first 7 days for those of you who haven't signed up before, and them you can watch all the NRL nines on your phone, tablet or laptop.

Mata'utia(s), Gagai, Mamo.. I think they'll tear everyone to shreds.

Mamo just owned Dugan. He's one quick kid. [MENTION=1917]Ari Gold[/MENTION] might be onto something tipping the Knights.

 

[Big Pete]

Knights 18
Dragons 7

Mullen and Mamo played well in a fairly dire game.

St. George struggled, Marshall was disappointing.

Storm v Cowboys up next.

 

[Kimlo]

18-7 Knights game over I believe. Storm vs Cowboys now.

Storm wearing fucking awful AFL style jerseys and selecting a shit team. As usual always poor sports.

 

[morethanjack]

Melbourne forgot to bring their sleeves with them.

 

[Kimlo]

Cowboys score in the first set. They're definitely trying hard to score with plenty of offloads early. This is what the 9s is about, not trying to grind out a win in an 18 minute game.

 

[Battler]

Who the hell ok'd the afl style jerseys? The storm continue to disgrace the sport.

 

[Kimlo]

And Cowboys go straight for a short kick off... And almost score again, unlucky bounce.

 

[Kimlo]

Who the hell ok'd the afl style jerseys? The storm continue to disgrace the sport.

Storm have no respect for the game, they never have.

 

[Kimlo]

Cowboys 13-0 7 minutes in.

 

[Brett]

Granville is on.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Michael Morgan reminds me a lot of Cooper Cronk.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Storm have no respect for the game, they never have.

 

[Big Pete]

Cowboys 17
Storm 8

Cows flexed their muscle early, proving their title last year was no fluke. Like last year, Lui and Taumalolo starred for the Cows.

As for Melbourne, I thought Travis Robinson played well in a very inexperienced side.

 

[Big Pete]

Play nice guys.
