so according to the article on stuff Hudson and his team every Monday in the morning have meetings for 5 to 6 hours talking about their players over the weekend.
What does everyone think they talk about for these 5-6 hours?
I will lead with the first two ideas.
1: Woods scored a good goal against Spurs today in the premier league. He must be in the team.
2: Reid played well today but was a bit ginger after that tackle in the second half. May mean he pulls out of the squad?
Does anyone know how much this phoney earns?
Maybe using the internet/fax etc to try and find some footage of your good mate Marinovic, when he was playing in that German 'pub league' AP.
Heavy sarcasm. Marinovic was too good a player to be playing 4th Div in Germany. But NZF coaching staff would spend a fair amount of time watching players in the lower profile leagues, not our big name players who are certain selections. As they should be doing, as their job.
I imagine Hudson and his staff would have watched footage of say someone like Nikko Boxall (a guy who must be on AWs fringes). They would and should know far more about what level he is consistently playing at, than any of us. Again that's their job, but do get feeling they are more organised in that regard than in Ricki's day. Though Herbert of course juggled two coaching jobs.
