Whenever the NRL State of Origin is in full swing there are inevitable threads on bigfooty weighing up the worth of state competition in the AFL. Well there is another NRL event taking place as I type called the Auckland Nines (http://nrlaucklandnines.co.nz/) which I believe the AFL should take note of. I believe this is a worthy NRL event which adequately serves as recognised pre-season competion. I equally believe the AFL could learn from this example and modify NAB Cup to encompass AFL9s rules and practices into a showcase weekend to begin the season. Can I get an Amen?
