I hope Tuiloma isn't picked. Isn't playing senior minutes and didn't exactly impress in the last window. Bindon, Surman, Pijnaker & Smith is plenty of CBs for a 2 game window, and you could pick Elliott or Sheridan to back up Payne at RB. If Bindon is seen as an RB option then Hughes or LKH can come in at CB. Bill is surplus to requirements.
Fingers crossed Roux comes back in this time, or at least someone is able to ask Bazeley about his continued absence. Thomas won't be in this squad but would like somebody to ask Baze for an update on that front too, is he still in touch with him, is it still a possibility further down the track *if* he is able to start playing regularly at club level again?
De Jong would be interesting but I don't expect he will be much better than any of our other Wood alternatives. Didn't really stand out during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Wouldn't mind seeing Kosta dropped. He doesn't do much for the All Whites against non-OFC opposition, hasn't for a long time, and at age 34 he's one player I'd like to be fully fresh for the start of the Nix's season. Give Rojas a run instead.
I think Waine should stay in England for this window. He is in a critical moment in his career and needs to do everything he can to earn club starts. Wouldn't mind if Mata comes in to replace him.
