What’s your problem with SUFC if you live in the NI ? - given the rubbish budgets down here and the domination of traditional winter clubs not giving any support to the summer national league teams ANY success is massive progress. Your way off about the role the Academy which looks to be producing good players who have a better chance of pushing on down here than other places in NZ. Much better players than in previous years
I acknowledge the immense achievement of southern players selected as mvp/golden glove/ tournament team at NAGT, however, holistically the academy has not improved the placing of teams. They are still finishing dead last like previous years, hence why the academy is in question.
