BIG Willie Mason reckons the inaugural NRL Auckland Nines can take off with a similar success to Twenty20 cricket.
If the former NSW and Origin and Test forward is right, then the latest trick shot brand of rugby league being showcased in February is guaranteed to be smash hit in terms of a television ratings and crowds.
"It's a great concept and good on the NRL for agreeing to it," Mason said.
"In cricket, we've seen the success of Test matches allow the game to grow into having one-dayers and now Twenty20 games.
"For the fans, there's something in there for everyone and in T20, the big hitters are the drawcards who people come to watch.

"In the Nines, I think you'll see a surprising showcase of skills people aren't prepared to risk trying to use when there's two points on offer in your standard NRL game.
"You're going to see players trying all sorts of trick shots that we often use and practice at training but then pack away on game day because the coaches don't want us rolling the dice too much."
NRL head of football Todd Greenberg confirmed the tournament is expected to be a sell-out with more than 90,000 fans expected to attend the nine-a-side tournament at Eden Park on February 15 and 16.
The NRL also rubber-stamped the inclusion of Sydney Roosters legend Brad Fittler, who will don the Tricolour strip at the Nines, aged 42.
