So based on what's been said about players so far we can assume
Team v Club games
Glen Moss, Tamati Williams
Aaron Scott, Bill Tuiloma, Andrew Durante, Michael Fitzgerald, Tony Lochhead, Ian Hogg (Sigmund for the camp if not the team??)
Leo Bertos, Cole Peverley, Jeremy Christie, Jake Butler, Aaron Clapham, Cameron Howieson, Craig Henderson
Kris Bright, Jeremy Brockie & Rory Fallon
T & T: Winston Reid, Tommy Smith, Michael McGlinchey & Kosta Barbarouses
Poss injured: Chris James, Ivan Vicelich
Injured: Chris Wood, Chris Killen, Shane Smeltz, Marco Rojas & Tim Payne
I think that there's a lot of negativity going around now. Sure the Solomons Islands experience was terrible, and we lost the confeds cup and other opportunities, but most of our good games were actually after we qualified for the last WC- Mexico, Slovenia, Serbia etc etc
It's still good to have a camp and get some of the team together, and do the best we can from here on in.
OK things are messed up, but it's something and we should give our support to the team.
We are always fighting against injuries, short international windows where we have to jet out and in, clubs in Europe who won't release players (how often did Nelsen actually play for us?), and the odd player who thinks he could do it better (until he gets into NZF). Sure you would hope none of Peverly, Christie or Butler would be first choice or even second choice, but the way injuries are going they might be.
We miss Smeltz big time. The spine of Nelsen, Elliot, Smeltz was one of quality.
Time to get the WC challenge spirit going and save the whatifs for if they are needed...
