You'd think if it was Bazely they'd have announced it. A delay in my mind means ongoing negotiations, maybe with the Pheonix or with a coach that wants more money than NZF can offer (but they might be able to sweaten the deal in other ways through sponsor and partner relationships).

you'd hope that was the case, but my guess is just NZF not being on the ball, or still returning from holidays or the fax being swtiched off over the holidays and someone didnt turn it back on.

I know they've got a history of dropping the ball (excuse the pun) and that cost Moss a chance at playing at the world cup and also the Phoenix a loan of Alex Jones in the January window. But, those things were exceptional circumstances at short(ish) notice. Hiring people is something that they do all the time and something they've planned for.

Saying that, they also played several players who were not eligible at age group level which is something that they do all the time, so maybe my confidence is misplaced.

You always lose the best candidates by delaying so I'm hopefull the delay isn't just them being useless but them aiming high(ish).
