Team Wellington... no longer an association with Ole. Chur

:)

Maybe TW needs a few foreign "shamateurs" to be competitive. Corrales could be a goer.

a front three of corrales, fa'arodo and totori should be competitive

Certainly would. I hope TW can get a really competitive side together this coming season. Wellington should be a regional powerhouse like Canterbury. Don't think there's room for another ASBP side in the lower North Island, not with the Phoenix as well. It's clear that TW are struggling to get enough oxygen which is a shame.

If TW is struggling for funding couldn't the Nix moneyboys throw some dosh their way? A strong TW can only be good for interest in the code in Wellington.

Is club rivalry in Wellington so uncompromising that TW has now virtually become Miramar and other club sides won't support it?

Add Brian Kalteck & Pedro Garcia... hey, starting to look good...

As an outsider, but big fan of TW, I don't get the impression it is a closed shop. I'm sure the admin etc is conducted through Miramar but think Matt C is happy to scout and use players from any club if they are good enough.

I also hope that he gets to choose his own team this year rather than be dumped with Phoenix cast offs....clearly most of who were not up to it.

Now the I 's are crossed and the T's are dotted I can confirm serious independent scouting has gone Fever pitch. 

they look like a barrel of laughs

Wearing their scouting attire too.

Does TW need a waterboy? We have moved on from him surely.

Sorry Guys Banned form here. 

I'm pretty sure Matt C wouldn't start him.....Well I hope. No offense big Pete

Non offence to the colonel but after seeing him play CB twice this week - I think he should return up top

He may be better suited to CB. I have no idea as I have never seen him play there. As a striker, his days are numbered in this league.

I didn't know he had been away playing....Did he turn up in Sydney and start playing centre back? I wouldn't have him play up front if I were coach, regardless of where he has been playing.

But Peter Halstead aside, if Matt can pick his own team, we should be challenging for the finals again.

in fairness he was always quite good around the pitch too

If all the stories about players deserting Waitakere United are true then this coming season must surely be a good opportunity for TW to step up and make a serious bid for ASBP honours and O League qualification.

I'd certainly love to see more of Wellington's football fraternity actively support TW as the national league needs a strong team from the capital. Be great for the whole league if you guys can get back to big noisy crowds again.

Spoonley to TW.

Interesting Ali. Is that work related?

I think its a good move for him. He wont have to look over his shoulder at Tamati, he'll get to do some rounds with the Phoenix/Gould and if they need a call up, he is in their backyard and most likely will have trained with them so there will be a familiarity there.

Good luck to him.

Wonder if that means Phil Imray isn't playing?

Whats happenned with Scotty's trial at Partick??

Will not be ideal if he has to come back to sit on the bench...

Touchy - what does a keeper do during a game. 

Does this mean Spoonley playing for TW allows him to be called up by the Phoenix if they need him? 

imray's better than spoonley

Pat Fleming just announced as signing.

Tee Dubs facey

Bertsch also sign for Team Wellington again.
