I was under the impression it was the Richmond coach who brings the players out? Contacts made from his time in the UK?

Matt Campbell, 1st team manager was the initial contact. Stu was president of the club at the time so had a hand in everything and he and Ben became good frineds through it. When the TW season finished Ben's went to Nelson and was getting paid to paint the Richmond Athletic clubrooms and playing for them until he headed back to the UK.
