All Whites, Ferns, and other international teams
Fallon, Watson, and Wood as striking options is probably not a bad idea if the pitches won't be conducive to playing possession football

Pretty samey

Couple of interesting names though - Patrick Izzet is the Canadian kid who was at the Whitecaps, and Andres Greensmith plays for Heidelberg Yoofs in Aussie

I'd have said maybe Nix first teamers on leave so not having to as they are alredy a known quanity but then Doyle is there and Fenton.
Might already be in Aussie, on holiday and returning later.
A few players turned the camp down didn't they, but that doesn't mean they won't make the tournament... at least I hope so.
Fallon has played 2 games in reserves in 18 months and yet he's ahead of Brockie??? And Moss who is a starting keeper and playing in the highest league comparatively can't get a look in??
Hudson's selection are almost as bad as Ricki's were.
The most bizarre AW training group ever assembled?
Kotahitanga. We are one.
The earlier comment about this doubling up as an under-20 trial must be true. SURELY!

Be a big call to have an U20 squad with no McGarry.
That list does say Monday on it so perhaps more people are being added each day.
Played with some of these players and I am bit disappointed. Mitch Watt was minging in high school. Wasn't good. But that was two years ago.
David Masters was at Glenfield Rovers and left because he wasn't getting any game time, as Michael O'Keefe was selected over him.
O'Keefe not on here either.
Charlie Thomas brother of Ryan?
Reece Cox and Oscar Ramsay are interesting training group selections. Always knew they were good players, but didn't think they were that good!
But yeah majority of these players are around 18/19. Some 17.
I am guessing (Key word) that Hudson is just using this to look at some players he needs a second look it.
Hard to have had a first look when you have an no national programme.
Rory must be looking around thinking he got the wrong fax/whats app message.
Kotahitanga. We are one.
Why bother spending money on this camp ? Surely Hudson must have some idea who he is going to pick and if this group forms a large part of it Hudson is truly mental.

I can only think that he wants to work on tactics/shape and needs the numbers. Those that attend this camp will be a little bit better prepared than those that join later.

I understand that letters have went out to players a while ago letting them know if they are in the squad or on the stand by list. All the players going to Brisbane have been advised and flights etc booked. Not quite sure what the point of his camp is

fair enough, obviously planned it far enough out and talked it up as they have not planned actual games. once the more senior players started declining it would have been another embarrassing moment to cancel the camp.

It's just a bunch of kids to make up the numbers, probably they will travel with the first team to help them training, kind of a sparring. IMO it's okay. Would've been better to have more advertising about this though.
Rosario Central, the All Whites, Waitakere United and the mighty Phoenix! speaker of engrish
the camp makes sense for me for the local NZ players from the Nix and ASB who are squad players at best, those guys Hudson hasn't had in camp (Tama Iti Hamish Watson, Fallon) and Bill (Hudson probably wanted to see him in person to gauge fitness etc given how little game time he has had).
Per AS I imagine that 18 or so out of the 23 spots have probably been booked and paid for - hence no WeeMac, Durante and Moss from the Nix perhaps. I imagine Hudson knows what he is getting and trusts their professionalism in relation to fitness levels to have them show up in Brisbane.
I don't think NZF are making a big deal out of it as I don't think it's intended to be an All Whites camp but rather a camp for the extended playing squad to retain fitness (hence the beep tests), figure out he last couple of spots and blood some younger guys while they are at it.
Makes sense to me why it's low key. The real stuff doesn't start until next week (and even then the Euro boys won't all be there).
He's in Scotland. Due back this week
Angrier but more cuddly than a Honey Badger
whats the eye injury moss has?
also why the fudge is fallon there?!?!?
Rory - hyms & haka training

Did he get the elbow from Bristol Rovers?
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Did he get the elbow from Bristol Rovers?
No still there - he has been granted leave. Also their season finished on Saturday and as they finished 3rd on League 2 they get automatic promotion and don't have to worry about playoffs

Rory says Rovers season is over (were promoted), and not being one for a drink he skipped the promotion celebrations
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/nz-teams/797...
Soccerway says he wasn't in a Bristol match day squad since 28th March anyway. So he at age 34 he may not be resigned for next season when Rovers in League One

Sill his big frame, and elbows may come in handy for 10-15 minute cameos in PNG - the island players as a rule being shortish in stature
If Falloon junior gets picked will Hudson's biggest critic, Falloon senior become mute?
Journos may have to head to Declan for a verbal spray on the coach next.
We should create an award for the best elbows in world football. It could be called the Fallon d'or

think there's one called the Fallon F'lor. Not for Rory, more for the Italians...

If this is the team, really it should win in the islands.
But then I wouldn't mind Defoe in the Euro 2016 squad either.
Brockie could also provide haka training

It appears Brockie has more goals since the start of 2015 than Fallon has minutes on the pitch....
Brockie 11 goals in 2015/16 PSL + 8 in 2014/15 PSL + brace vs roar 04/01/15 + 8 Goals in South African Cup Competitions = 29 Goals
Fallon 14 minutes at Accrington Stanley in Jan16 + 3 minutes at Wycombe in Feb16 + 2 minutes at Notts county in March16 = 19 minutes
