Rumors' abound that Wainui have come to the realization that they can't fill their team for Central League this year so have come to an agreement with Ole Academy for them to fill the team for the season.
If this is true, that's insane, a bit sad for a club with Wainuis proud history and conversely you'd have to be absolutely f**king spewing if you were New Plymouth.
With regard to NPR 'spewing'...well, they had the opportunity to beat Wainui and weren't good enough.
However, _If_ it is true I'd be concerned about the integrity of the competition than how NPR felt.
Worth dropping a C-note on the result late in the season with Wainui safe and Suburbs pushing for the title?
Maybe I'm cynical.
Would I have the same concern had NPR been promoted? Probably not. The difference would be they will have Taranaki kids being taught the Ole way as a fully independent club, not kids from two 'clubs' training together all week in Porirua then half of them going over the hill on Saturdays.
