It's a sharkshow no doubt, and yeah once again, an OFC draw that doesn't favour us in the slightest... get those conspiracy theories racing.
However, I figure we may have salvation from:
- First team players in season, but who Hay and the AWs have a good relationship with. Think Helsingor and Torslanda
- Reserve/youth team players like Garbett
- Nix/AL players of which there are a plenty
Let's not panic yet.

Yipe lets not panic yet. Getting AL guys shaping as absolutely key. I've chucked about 8 ALM guys, into an early 23 man squad, for 2 non FIFA window games.
They'll be match fit, in season, and many of them have already played under Hay's system(s) at the Olympics.
Hay/Pragnell on the phone to Dome/Talay who are on the phone to the APL/Paramount to rejig the ALM draw, and create Nix byes mid March to early April.
The other clubs/APL know the huge struggle the Nix are facing being based in Aussie, and keeping a 12 team comp going. Hopefully that's seen as worth a favour or two in return.
