25 sheep per match and 5 extra for every goal.

Three for me, and two for them.

Not much I wouldn't think.  Looks like they aren't even a full time club, but he's playing in a league that is a lot more likely to be watched than the NZFC so his chances of making a career move would be higher.

He must have improved, that club must be better than our NZFC clubs, and he is scoring two goals for them....

I guess its hard to say

It is hard to say, but he was being watched by Cardiff and Swansea when he first arrived so if they are still keeping tabs on him who knows.  I always thought he was a decent player and unlucky to miss the final U-20 squad.

i thought he was good for the knights as well, seemed very fast and prepared to try and beat his man.

Yeah, he never got enough of a run with the Knights. But when he came on he always impressed.

Hopefully Costa wont turn into the next Michael White.

I wouldn't write White off yet, he's still young and trying to make a name for himself.

actually for a young guy, I thought he got quite a good run from the Knights. He impressed then in having the confidence to take people on, even if he was a bit one dimensional then. One of bloc 5's most memorable chants was about him and he really appreciated it, coming to join the bloc in one game.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

yeh I don't know I saw him play for Waitak a couple of times, and maybe he didn't get settled, but all he seemed to do was play greedy, run at his man, waste time on fast break attacks and lose the ball.
 
maybe he never synched with the team, and I didn't see him play in any higher leagues... but yeh there were other players in that team who were putting in much better contributions...
 
anyway time will tell...
