We haven't actually signed anyone yet - Blake what's his name aside.
My concern remains our ability to recruit young, ambitious talent when we may have no license beyond 15/16. The lack of a license extension won't stop us recruiting a veteran looking for a last season pay cheque but younger players looking to build a career will want more security.
I guess it comes down to where the license extension negotiations sit with the FFA e.g. if they have committed, in writing, to a 5 year extension and agreed to continue to talk about a longer term them the license situation won't be an impediment to recruitment.
My feeling however is the Nix and FFA have got in to a game of chicken over the license extension.
Well young kiwi's don't have a lot of choice.
Powell would have had options other than us as well and signed here.
