Yeah it has a bit of the rah rah about it but I really like it and the Kari logo is not that overstated.

Valentine Holmes huh?

How good is this Auckland Nines Jersey discussion!?

I made a thread for general discussion, but posters neglect to use it.

Please, if anyone would like advice on how to make an awesome thread - Don't be afraid to ask.

Imagine the **** storm if Fitler goes out there takes Carney out and Todd had to miss a large part of the year! What possible suspension is going to hurt Fitler or Roosters? F******* joke!

Unlikely.

If he does he can follow the example of Steve Rogers vs Mark Bugden, Gary Jack vs Ian Roberts.

A non issue.

**** off Filter.

Don't make a mockery of the tournament.

It's for current players not retired knobs, If you want to play in a tournament start your own.
I agree with this. Ten years retired FFS.

Someone said this will be on channel 7. I hope so because if it is not, channel 9 will no doubt take the opportunity to mike up Freddy in shane warne style...cringe.

"Hey Freddy, how's it feel to be out there again?"

"It's third tackle, we'll put it through the hands and see what happens"

"Isn't it great the access we get to the players now!"

No, its not.. **** off.

FFS - I'm a Shark through & through - long before a lot of you were even thought of. I've seen real corruption in the system over the years (also at our club btw).

I think this idea is stupid, but in no way do I agree that it's unfair, nor is it a conspiracy...

Who cares who the other teams field in the 9's? You scared of being shown up by a 42 year old veteran?

Get a grip.

PS - he should play for the riff, but that's another story.

I respect your views B&B.

But his announcement has put the spotlight on him and not the tournament where it should be.

I've heard more about this so called roosters legend coming out of retirement than the game itself.

Leave the Nines game alone Fitler and create your own spotlight. Dinner for one maybe.

considering the overall age of our team and the knights team, Freddy isnt gonna look to out of place

If anything it should help us, I would rather see the teams use their actual players though that way the standard of play will be higher.

Not necessarily. There are many Sevens players that will never play for their Country in The 15-man game

A lot more nimble, faster players, lacking strength. Different note, Ratini played 7's for Fiji but to my knowledge is yet to play the 15 man game for Fiji.

The more known players will suggest that it will be publicized more, but we have both seen that it only counts if the players publicizing the game are from the current crop of players, but I'm sure it would be a different story if it were a retired Sharks player...

Good on the Roosters -1st Hollywood Hogan, 2nd SBW and now Fitler. That's some serious marketing.
