Few things happening around the traps. 4 starters:
1. Phoenix pre-season game in Chch - yay! Wouldn't it be great to fill Rugby League Park?
2. Canterybury United Development Cup. U22 tourney. Extends the season for another month. Danny Halligan gets to scout for Youth team. Other commnets?
3. Mainland competitions review. Have you read the info on the Mainland website? Navel gazing & tinkering or real change?
4. Gutted to hear only 1 Chch player made the training squad (of about 30 i think) for next year's U17 national team. 3 from Nelson. Apparently the Auckland coach didn't get the opportunity to see them play against Auckland or any Nth Island competition; and viewed them playing each other in pelting rain for an hour at Halswell. Realistically, can you make national sides living in Chch if they don't have national age tournaments anymore?
Take your pick, ladies and gents; seems to have gone a bit quiet here in the last little while.
