Marco know the ALM well, and has starred in the league.
Get the feeling homebody Ryan has very minimal connection to NZ these days. English born parents back in the UK?? Hasn't played for AWs in over 5 years. His old mate Tyler Boyd with the Americans. Another very close friend Jessie Edge somewhere in Europe. Dutch wife & kids.
When was the last time Thomas was in Aotearoa? I remember him dropping into Ole for a visit(s), when mentor Declan was still there. But he's already made it clear the Netherlands will be home post retirement.
Most importantly the medical staff at Zwolle will know his body inside out, and that's big for him as he tries to etch a few more years out of his injury plagued carcass. He may leave Zwolle at season end, but doubt he'll move far from Holland.
