Auckland Nines Day 2

[Big Pete]

Kiwis are gone.

Eels v Souths
Roosters v Sharks

 

[Super Freak]

Haha suck shit Warriors.

 

[broncos4life]

That's very disappointing from the Warriors. Fielded close to their first grade team, home tournament with a fair few 'hometown calls' and vowed out in the quarters.

Pretty poor tbh

 

[Kimlo]

Warriors scored more trys, but conversions hurt them. Seems like a Broncos way to lose.

 

[Kimlo]

That post is so 2013.

Seriously, I only joined his bandwagon during the 2014 NYC Finals. He was awesome and he absolutely killed the Broncos chances.

Unlike you I have no interest in watching the lower grades, so this tournament is a cool way to see the younger generation out there.

That being said, Blake Ayshford has looked a world beater in this tournament, lol.

 

[Super Freak]

How the hell did Vatuvei stay in there?!

4-0 Warriors.

Now the Tigers knock on from the restart.

He didn't.

His foot touched the sideline, and his arm went touch in goal before he planted the ball down.

 

[Big Pete]

Replays were inconclusive - I'm OK with giving benefit of the doubt.

Hoping for an Eels v Sharks showdown.

Expecting Souths v Sharks.

 

[Big Pete]

Souths look like they want to win another piece of silverware.

Eels were my sentimental pick but they've got a soft underbelly, even at this level.

 

[Super Freak]

Did anyone hear badger call held when that Sharks player stripped that ball?

I didn't hear it.

 

[Super Freak]

I think Sharks could win this..

 

[Super Freak]

And there is my famous jinx...

I praise a team.. And then they concede a try.

 

[Super Freak]

Gotta love this format in moments like that. Remarkable try by Feki.

 

[Super Freak]

Rabbitohs vs Sharks final.

 

[Big Pete]

Expected and wanted the Sharks to win that.

Not the best side on paper but a lot of their players had stepped up.

Sydney didn't look switched on.

 

[Super Freak]

I think it would be great for the tournament if Sharks win.

I know it's the Sharks, but I like going for the underdogs..

 

[Super Freak]

I like Feki. He is a good winger.

 

[Big Pete]

I remember raging once because I lost out on Grevsmuhl in a Fantasy competition.

Hasn't really kicked on as expected, but cool to see him score in a final.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

That's the Ayshford we all know ...
