Team Wellington 2011/12

 
I don't need to have "backroom staff' beside my avatar to see when someone writing maliciously to make damage or create/add rumors. The thing is I don't understand how these will help NZ football or development of the young players.
As you said, it is out there and people will keep talking about it, but it looks like you are the one who lacks excitement in your life so posts such as this one will improve it and make you feel better???

As for calling a kid "headcase" I am not sure would you be happy if someone tells you that you are a bit of "headcase" too, or you may get upset...

JV. Well said son.
Football players in NZ maybe getting like the rugby boys, do something and then expect no one to talk about it.
That is why we get on this forum to find out the goss that our media is not interested in or give an opinion both good & bad.

Transfers need to be cleared with the players previous club before he can play for a new team, unless Waitak have delayed it without giving a reason why in which case it would go through as automatic after a week or so [not sure the exact number of days for inter Federation transfers].

surely if Dawkins paid this money out it was at his own risk?

Who knows. Maybe it was done out of loyalty to the player and that loyalty hasn't been repaid? I would be asking if the transfer has gone through...

I dont think loyalty legally binds someone. He is under Waitak on GoalNet

Lucas named in the Waitak side today. Seems the rumours must be somewhat true JV.

Wow, officially named on both squads. The kid must be talented.

There's only two Dakota Lucas'

maybe TW accidentally signed his dad...

George?

New signing: Tyson Holmes from Sunshine Coast FC. Sounds promising.

Interesting signing - looks like a good player:

Tyson Holmes signs for TW

How weird is that? Two Evertonians posting that within a minute!

 

So we sign one striker and lose another one to Waitak? Gilly what is going on with the Lucas transfer?

Lucas? Lucas Pantelis? You can have him for the rest of the season....

TW Youth Squad

Does anyone know how players get selected for the TW Youth team?  Are there trials?  How do players get invited to trial?

Bit late now.  Clubs were asked to nominate players.

Was thinking about next year.  I know a good young player in the APFA academy in Chch who comes home to Wellington for the holidays.  He came home last school holidays and made an appearance off the bench in a Wests CL game this season.  So Wests, or at least Shane Rufer, knows about him and presumably would nominate him next season if the timing worked.

 

After nominations there's a trial and those who impress get called back and are invited to a second trial before the squad is picked I believe.

No, he's taking it easy at the moment because he's recovering from a glute injury.  Didn't stop him going to NTC camp though.

Good that CF have some influence with TW.  I wasn't sure how strong that relationship was.

Preseason. Tw 6 manawatu nil

anybody watch todays game?

Nah but a mate did, said the new import Tyson is absolute quality.

How exciting for us! But he's in Wellington for a reason..and so I hope he's not too good because Ricki will nab him.

I read Otago beat their youth team today 6-0. Go them, nice build up. We are gonna have a field day with them I reckon. Perfect fixture for us first up.

Does anyone have the good oil on whether Phil Stingray being on the bench for the Phoenix today means he won't be playing ASB Premiership for a month (professional-amateur stand down...)?

Didn't Ricki do that last season (for injury cover) but as long as the player didn't take the field it was OK?

This. Pretty sure Clapham wasn't on stand-down after Sydney, nor was Imray the first time he warmed the bench vs. the Jets (also against Newcastle, come to think of it...)

Ah yes - Clapham. Thanks Robb.

Actually Robb I'm pretty sure Imray was the last time.

The first week Spoonley was on the bench but had to be replaced the following week with Imray because Auckland City started a week earlier in the O-League than TeeDubs did in the ASB Premiership.

Both benched 4 weeks before they started amateur football.

However that may have been overridden by what ever loophole allowed Clapham to not play and go straight back last season.

Actually now that you mention it, I do remember the stand-downs.  Eep.

Yes he is on the bench. Stand down ?? Watch NZF

Meh, stingray is good but Basalaj is ASBP starting quality anyway imo.
