I’d picked Randall as a AWs bolter, just as something slightly different to the wide players of similar skills.
But Gillion not given away his chances either.
Still think they are missing Mata up front though.

I think Mata will be a big loss for them this season. Auckland looked a lot better in the final third with him playing alongside May, who also benefitted a lot from Mata's presence.
Think it will end up being their two loanees from last season they miss the most and find hardest to replace in all honesty.
But they have yet to sign a visa striker, who presumably will be a Mata upgrade.
Ultimately it was Max's poor conversion rate that made Corica decide not to retain him. Gets in the right places, makes himself a nuisance, definitely aided others like May - but Stevie wants that plus 10 goals from a higher quality no 9.
The news a few weeks back was they were down to 3 choices, including a Latino with MLS experience.
