Yeah I should have picked up on that. 

Sounds like Mizunuma's (didn't play last night) arrival in January, has been a big part of the Jets revival. Begs the question why a 35 yr old J League player coming in halfway through an ALM season can be an instant success.

Whilst the Nix have their 2 Japanese players who had at least some sort pre season in Welly, now languish on the bench!! Black mark against either Chiefy's coaching or recruiting.
Jets had played half a season before they signed him, so knew exactly what they needed to add into their side from an import. They didn't try to build the team's style around their visa players.

The guys we signed, I don't think have fitted into the roles Chief had intended for them as much as he hoped.
