Very happy for the lad but would love one of the new lads at the Nix to have a couple of goals and be making such a statement! So slightly jealous we didn’t snag him for the Nix, but maybe there’s other players out there to be discovered. Be mint and an amazing story if we made the WC and he started up front with Chris Wood! He’s competing with Kosta, Ben Waine and Just? Not an area where we have a lot of depth or players playing professionally.
Apart from Wood, Greive is only Kiwi I can see starting in an overseas league, regularly as an out and out striker. That straight away makes him valuable and exciting.
And yeah interesting that Nix didn’t seem to look at him. Big fan of Uffie, but he does seem lately to have bypassed NZ domestic talent - apart from the Academy kids.
But in his defence hard with the team basically based permanently in NSW last 2 seasons, plus Covid shutting down the NZ winter leagues early in 2021. Nix did apparently have a close look at Oli Whyte, plus Talay/Gill signed Payne, Lewis & TAHW all from Handy Prem pre Covid. Think all were signed by Uffie (not Rudan).
