laird's in the cccp. sale, maemae not back. totori at
waitak. imre at wellington. englefield?
it's a decent squad, provided the foreigners come through and
saralegui lives up to potential.
keeping robbo was the best coup

Oldys#1 Fan would probly be able to tell us where englfield is?

How many of those players are actually products of the Manawatu?
At best 4 as far as I can see.
Is that a good/bad thing? Discuss...

impossible for manawatu and several others to possibly field
competitive teams if they do not import. good for league bc
improves overall standard and competition and good for players bc
spreads the better ones around the country, rather than having a
wasted stockpile who cant make tw or an auckland side

who cares theyll win the blimmin league.
Sale's definitely not coming back, and hopefullly maemae is one of the two to come. Who else?

DialSquare.. u dont know much about the 'student city' formerly 'knowledge city'!
There arew 10/11 players from the watu, 8 from Palmy
Boys'.
compare that to any of the North island clubs and you probly
wont find many differences! from a population of 74,000 what do you
expect?? look at all the imports the Bay have!
we have also lost Jason Hayne, Richard Gillespie and Steven
Old out of the region. (Jarred Smith is debatable).
aswell as Sanjay Singh whose somewhere up with the natives in
whangarei last i heard.
Hayden Englefield missed out on the starting line up a few
seasons ago and didnt have time to warm the bench so is gone off to
scotland, ireland ways.

Ohhhh Oldys Fan I Remember the days of watching Sanjay Singh! He
was awsome!
Back then they were playing at the stadium too!

I'm holding out for Maemae, there hasn't been any word at all on
him. I think that Sale is more of a loss than Totori, but I still
think we've got the positions they held well stocked despite the
sizeable hole they left. Keeping Robinson as reg22 said was one of
the best things we could have done, hes our natural leader and an
inspiration to all the players on the pitch.

are you sure that is for this coming season? im pretty sure you
cant be signed with 2 teams at the same time.. i.e Finau and
Vakatalesau.

just checked that squad list that you have .. if you read the write
up of the team that goes with it it says there are speculations
about players heading to nz to play.. i.e the 2 above.
plus i think they have or should be arriving very soon in
ptown

As I understand it, and I could be wrong, you can sign for 3 teams
in a calendar window from July to June but only take the field for
2. They can be between different countries just that a stand down
period exists.

I agree Oldys Fan, it seems a bit odd that Osea and Peni are in two
teams...
Youngheart lost 1-0 to HBU today. Pamment in goal, seemed pretty solid, Yackson at left back was promising as well. Scott Robson may have been in the defence as well, played very well, and Yuki Tomomatsu was brilliant at left wing. Vakatalesau up front looked good as well, but admittedly missed a few good chances. Robbo promised us an improvement for next week though ;)

i went to the game yesterday and boy that fiji striker is one big

Scott Robson has dyed his hair funny

YHM dumped Adam Cowen from doing the programme after 3 years

I wish the stock cars would bugger off to Feilding
And i will be backing utting because he plays for the Hearts

they are not in 2 teams. they have signed for manawatu and Ba must not have known this until after they posted their team sheet to OCL.
1 nil isnt too bad.. bet youngheart still dont have their best team on the pitch yet!

Unimportant question...is there a new strip this year to replace their rather tired looking one?
Permalink

A new strip would be cool. Green and white tho! As my dad once said
" we will pass the ball and run it, green and white". Gotta learn
from the turbos!
Permalink

The green look greener on the shirt and the blue
looks...bluer...
probably just because the old strip had faded in the sun
apart from that not a helluva lot different.

I hope their imports are up to scratch...... the solomon boys gave
them so much more spare to work with last year
Good to see Mouse is still in the team...though he might have
gone to aucks but good loyalty showen there.
The quality of boys high leavers won't be as high in the
coming years as I here it. Getting Robson, Roydhouse and Richardson
all in one year is quite exceptional.
What's the deal with Dalin Wilson? Last I spoke to him about
11 months ago he said he was getting back into training...has he
not recovered?
Hayne would have been a great asset....he's no where near as
selfish as he used to be at school.
I think the team probably won't do as well as last year, but
hopefully they will surprise. As i've said, the quality of the
imports will be the key
bling blang blah

Hayne past it more at school than Smith ever did. haha

They were both prima donna's at school. smith made up that he was
sick to get out of the cricket tour to SA
classic in 03' when Kia Ora had the best team in shand shield
soccer, but Hayne was such a ball hogg they ended up losing to
phoenix and playing off for fifth and sixth
