    Default World Cup Nines: James Graham Named Capt

    and no players from Saints or Salford in the team because of Grand Final commitments



    I was always taught to respect my elders,
    but it keeps getting harder to find one!


    I am a nobody, and nobody is perfect;
    therefore I am perfect

    Been excellent so far, a real festival of rugby league. I've always said that the Magic Weekend should be a 9s comp with a trophy awarded

    Some brilliant stuff so far. I just hope Saints are watching this, some very, very good young players knocking about.

    Problem is teams would see it as an opportunity to rest players, and they'd send a squad of fringe players..

    The only way you could get past that would be a massive monetary prize..

    Even if you said must be first team squad, they'd just fill the squads with 30 players

    9s is just an exhibition. You wouldn’t get the same crowds travelling as they do for Magic. I think there’s scope for an international tournament like this in Oz but the problem here is it would have to be in warm weather for people to sit out all day and there isn’t much opportunity in the summer for it

    Excellent stuff so far. As someone that hasn’t seen much woman’s RL, I’ve been impressed with the intensity, physicality and skill level of the woman’s matches.

    In truth, I’m finding it all a bit boring. I’d rather watch a game where teams have to work harder to score, having to build up pressure and out-manoeuvre the opposition rather than just run around them because they’ve got the faster players.

    Agree, it's one of them, it's on in the background whilst I'm doing other stuff.. some good tries but almost a game of basketball..

    Don't think the attendance is particularly great either

    Agreed - it’s similar to Rugby Sevens in that respect

    Respect Graham so much, but why did we need Forwards in a Nines side?
