I've spoken to the Supyk's dad, 100% they are from Blighty. Young Luke may eventually follow a similar path to Waine. That would be great. Fingers crossed.
But 5 goals in 7 games this Central League with the Weenix, doesn't scream out that he's yet ready for the ALM. Faulds (21 goals in 14 matches) played in a better team and did feast on games against the lesser CL sides, but he's 4 years older and just looks more imposing physically. I imagine Ben Mata would say he had a tougher day out with Olympic, against NCR than the Weenix this season.
However the Nix would stand to get a nice solidarity payment or two if Luke Supyk ever did sign with a UK club. They wouldn't never get that with Faulds, only joining the Nix now, if he did.
And whether it's NZ, England or Netherlands it's a big jump from playing against your young peers at U17/21 level to then bumping bodies against men.
Edit - yes Jonty Bidois a nice goal against Western United last week. Ukich ain't a striker.
