Be interesting to see who Auckland sign from the domestic leagues. Sounds like Corica & McFlynn are Northern league regular viewers at the moment.
I mean unlike any previous or current Nix coach - busy either in season like now, having a short off season holiday, or busy into pre season - the Auckland FC coaches actually have plenty of free time at the moment, to have a proper good hard look at the local scene.
You get the feeling that the likes of say Rudan, Talay & Italiano would have watched Weenix games and not much else. Just not having the time to do much more than that. Relying on Gill, Greeny and others to give them some intel on any locals outside the Academy. Plus the odd pre season trial invite, which wouldn't suit all domestic players juggling a job, their existing club or whatever.
