The Auckland Nines is set to become a smashing success. 36,000 tickets have already been sold for each day at Eden Park, two months out from the tournament. A sell out of 44,000 each day is looking likely. This will be the biggest rugby league event ever held in the history of New Zealand. And in a country with one fifteenth the population of the United Kingdom, the event is outstripping the Magic Weekends of Super League in attendances.

Perhaps in its second year (2015) places could be made for Super League clubs. Not all of them. But what about the top four Super League clubs? That would give the Super League a great profile Down Under.

I'd invite the CC winners and SL GF winners in 2015.......Have to say this event has surprised me in it's momentum.......glad I got my tickets early and sorted out flights. They have priced it well (NZ$69 for2 days) and it has been all over TV with advertising and promotional events.

I think that having 4 SL clubs would create more of a Super League presence. It would bring the number of teams to 20. The argument that might be brought against the SL clubs being added is that the current 16 teams easily goes to a quarter finals of 8, semis of 4 and a final.

I'm sure a few SL clubs would be interested in taking part: Wigan, Warrington, saints, Leeds and Hull FC (prob Salford too).

I'm sure I read that Wigan wanted to do it as part of their warm up to the WCC but it was too late to change the schedule for them. Also that they would be willing to accept SL clubs from 2015

//www.shawxsharks.com/ In my opinion the best amateur club in the world Reaching forward since 1947:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_70254.png



Would love it if they could televise it over here and if there are super league clubs there then surly Sky would show it.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



I am amazed I'm going to agree here. But for me nines is the way to reach a larger audience outside of RL. Quicker shorter games. Bit like 20/20 for cricket. And make earnings except from any salary cap. If the tournament can fund it then it will pay atheist going rate.

Would have been great to have given the SL winners an invitational place to use as a warm-up to the WCC. The 9s schedule was sorted well before it was announced the WCC was going to be in Oz though unfortunately.

Timing would have to change for it to appeal to SL clubs. They're not going to release their top players for a friendly tournament once the season has already started

There will be nothing "friendly" about the Auckland Nines.

Perhaps there will have to be adjustments of schedule to allow the tournament to be played just before the Super League season starts.
