The Auckland Nines are just over two weeks away, with NRL clubs set to finalise their squads within the next week or so. Over the past few years, one highlight of the tournament has been the appearance of retired players.
Some of the tournamentโs most memorable moments in its brief history have come from retired players, with Brad Fitlerโs intercept try and Matt Kingโs extra-time tournament winner at the peak. As retired players become more popular at the Nines, which former player could possibly make an appearance for yourย club at the tournament?
1. Brisbane Broncos โ Scott Prince
Itโs been just over three years since Scott Prince laced up a boot, but by all reports, heโs as fit as ever. Reports even surfaced late last year that a Super League side had considered signing him for 2017, a sign he can still match it with the best of them. And in the Nines format, he could certainly do some damage.
The possibility of Prince teaming up with recruit Benji Marshall will have rugby league fans salivating, with the two combining to deliver the Wests Tigers their maiden premiership โ some twelve years ago.
