If you had heard the vitriolic comments around the Weenix team in the comp, you would be..... well perhaps not shocked at all. It's was actually pathetic and reeked of 'we have to protect our patch'. Never mind the fact that they cannot win it or take another teams place, it actually sounded like they were worried to be playing them. Perhaps cause they know that this years team is not that good. I heard one guy actually say 'well the Warriors reserves and juniors play in Australia so the Phoenix reserves should too' then went on about how they are breaking all the transfer laws and regs. It was incredible.
Some need to grow up a bit I'm still hearing people bitch about the Weenix and the Wanderers possibly being in the OFC Champons League when OFC and NZF have said on countless occasions that the Weenix and the Wanderers are not eligible for the OCL.
