Yes massive congrats to Alex, his family and the club. 
I remember a few years ago I think Mrs Mils saying watch out for this Paulsen kid, he's going to be special.

Be great to have an AWs keeper in a top 5 league, or even The Championship. We have had a number of okay, solid GKs, but never a true top level one.

Left field idea, and doesn't fit at all the Nix's model of all Kiwi players now only coming through the Academy, but I'd suggest they take a look at off contract Nik Tzanev. Not seen him alot, but he's always been talked about as being a 'sweeper keeper' ie good with his feet. Seems more a Brit than a Kiwi now, but hey if he's to give himself any shot at making the 2026 WC squad, maybe he needs to come downunder under the nose of Bazeley & co.

Paulsen leaving you suspect is going to mean a sizeable tinker by Chief in how the Nix play.
