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?
5. Gold Coast Titans โ Preston Campbell
The little livewire may be 39, but that doesnโt mean heโs any less evasive then he was when he hung up the boots. โPrestoโ had some of the quickest legs in the competition in his heyday, and the former Dally M winner could add even more spark to a Nines squad that has already confirmed the inclusion of Jarryd Hayne.
Seeing Hayne and Campbell combine on the field could be magical to watch, and hell for an oppositionโs defence.
