So, surprise, surprise. Bosnich things signing Rudan is a great move for the coach and the club. Guess that kind of endorsement is an extra tick in the PLUS box.
Interesting to see what Bosnich the pundit has to say when the season starts, especially if we start winning games and tearing up the league.
What about: "These Kiwi boys are too good to lose. Give the Nix their extension, now... " ;)

Great appointment to the Phoenix.
The club reminds me of how the Kingz were 15 years ago, bleeding money and terrible on the field. The call went up "why aren't we developing our own young players, to hell with these Aussie players!". And you know what happened? It got (even) worse. The Kingz hired a no-name coach, fielded young local players who amounted to a bucket full of shark and the club became the Knights.
Getting Rudan might be the last throw of the dice, but what a throw it is - great aggressive move to get in a guy with contacts and know-how.
Whatever did happen to that Jason Rowley? Actually there was a ton of younger teen players from the early to mid 00s who never kicked on at all.
Looking at that current squad, boy do we need to sign some defenders. Doyle and Fox are ok to start but the others are all squaddies to me ( Dura's reached that age sadly).
