Tempted by the English Cup fixture on Tuesday, should be a good game - Halswell looking on the up and Coastal searching for silverware. Saying that though, Halswell management depresses me to see and hear - I think their manager is Chris Gunkel, there were rumours he was sacked early in the season but somehow survived, clearly not effective in his role and offers little. Strongly believe both Halswell and Uni's are below the MPL level and making up numbers however there's a severe lack of quality beneath. Very surprised about Dragons selecting two Uni players who are deemed average by the general consensus. Would have thought higher placed clubs would've been better picks, 1 from Bays and 1 from Coastal, the latter especially having clear talent from back to front - surely future signatures to come.
I as well as a few others I know totally agree about the 2 Uni lads. Both although having played NZ age group football are extremely average and I know Timtam aka Barraclough will disagree but it is what it is. One wonders if Joe Hall ex Uni had any influence on this decision. Let's wait to see if the plot thickens over the next few weeks.
