why was marsland, bacon or wellbourne signed then released? just shows that there's no other plan in place for when kamo is out injured/suspended. why not try something different and give yammamoto a go or the boy alex pac from western who has scored consistently in mpl. dan ede or wiremu peircy could do a job as squad players also but it seems imports from uk are instantly ahead of local lads. no wonder yammamoto moved to auk and the others appearing less and less in mpl.
Unsure if Marsland and Bacon should be called imports as both were already in ChCh. I think Ken Yamamato headed back to Auckland (only flew back today) due to his University studies, his family still lives in ChCh.
