Niche Cache's analysis of why Rogerson has been picked.
And Bazeley chatting to Voerman has acknowledged, De Jong is in the mix and needs to keep doing what he's doing in South Africa. Maybe a November call up, if the goals & assists continue with Stellenbosch.
But at the end of the day these next 6 AWs games through to the end of the March window, won't tell us that much. The opposition will just be too weak.

Ben Waine just scored his first goal on loan at Mansfield Town so that’ll boost his confidence right in time for these games. His noggin was responsible for the equaliser against USA. Logan Rogerson also helped with that fluke of a goal, having been a late replacement for that trip. Not sure exactly what he’s done to get into the All Whites mix after hardly having played all year. He was limited by injury at FC Noah and his Auckland FC season hasn’t even begun. At a guess, he’s a profile pick. They wanted someone fast who can run the flanks to complement a squad with lots of inverted wingers and the speedy Rogerson fits the bill. His AFC teammates Liam Gillion, Jesse Randall, and Joey Champness also have similar profiles while the Wellington Phoenix boast one or two such blokes of their own. Not really anyone on the pro scene of that ilk though. Not unless you count the time Libby Cacace came off the bench as a winger for Empoli a few weeks ago (Ben Old is a runner but he’s not that type of runner).
