Sounds like a few surprise selections in the offing. At least 1 dozen first choice guys unavailable.
I guess Schmid has had more time now to check out the NZ scene, watched a full season of Handy Prem, plus observed the low profile overseas guys like Nikko Boxall, Niko Kirwan, Tzanev, Bevan, Woud, and Brotherton up close in Spain. Did they all offer enough, or is he better to try someone new to look at?
Is Boyd available? Appiah? McCowatt? Heijer? Hudson-Wihongi? Cacace? Kyle Adams who is playing regularly in USL?
Could be an interesting announcement.
