Thats something to be happy about... Hearing the Broncos didnt even get a win. Did the guy Bessie Aufaga Toomaga even get a run this tournament?

This 18 year old is smarter than Flanno

Other thing... One of the tries they scored was a double movement surely! It was ruled as one yesterday so why cant the Refs show a bit of consistency just for one season let alone over a 2 day tournament!

Good to see the bi-polar rollercoaster back in full swing in here.
Yas love a player one game, claim best thing since sliced bread almost. Then roast them very next game ha.
Is disappointing that they are out by 1 differential point. But ****, what can you do.

Sorry mate, Im good at taking things the wrong way hahaha.
Although a disappointing end, people seem to forget it's just the nines. We made the finals last year and started the season off terribly.
Nines this year, proved its purpose.
Bird will prove to be a damaging centre. The solo try in the first game was evidence that he can spark opportunities on the edge from
nothing.
Barba has his confidence back, showed safe hands, good positional play, attacked the line and found the holes. His defence was caught out a few times, but that's understandable considering the structure of the nines. Barba has proved his defence when it matters, my biggest concern was that he's lost his speed and flair which I was happy to be proven wrong.
Taga was disappointing. He was damaging in previous years in the nines. Made no impact and had too many unforced errors.
D. Fifita impressed me. Ran hard, straight and burst though the line multiple times and with continual improvements to match fitness will be quite a handy forward for us.
Chad was the most impressive to me. Took control of both games. Was involved in everything, great defensive reads and had a strong running game. I've got no doubt he and Maloney will form a great partnership in the halves.
Mcllwrick had played a good tournament, it's good to see we've got good depth in our hooker department between he and Brown should injury hit Ennis.
Leutele played well and consistent. Just lacks that X factor about him.
All in all, makes me adamant that Barba has to start at fullback, bird to the centres which leaves Val another year on the wing to break all those try scoring records.
We're in for a good year Sharkies ��

Yeah, like I said earlier the dumb ****s did not realise.
I wouldn't mind hearing some official comments from our coaching staff.
I know people will say only the nines, it's still a competition with a prize pool. Why wouldn't you like to win?
As noted earlier pleased on the injury front.
Surely they thought about it though? Like surely they didn't think they were through just because they won 2 games? It's idiotic.
And I know it's only the nines, but if they couldn't even work that out, it doesn't leave a lot of confidence for the season ahead
Spider sense was tingling and I pop back in here and what do I find, some lovely unabated Flanno bashing. Nice work boys, I was hoping someone would take up the stick while I had my annual forget anything Flanagan months.

It embarrassing if they had absolute no idea and thought we would go through automatically.
That's why I would like to hear from the staff. Not that we would hear the truth if they did **** up.
It's not in flannos nature to tell the truth

I look forward to the 9s so the whole 'only the 9s' thing is bull**** to me.
We should treat the 9s seriously. We need silverware of any kind. Desperately.
18 minutes is not much to ask for our team to be switched on.
That was a lethargic unstructured mess of a game.
It's Chad/Maloney in the halves for the NRL.
