Hell yes to Topor-Stanley.

Don't think we'll be buying another CB now we have Rossi

Don't think NTS is any good, also.

If Rossi got injured would you be happy with Fox and Durante for the season?  We saw that last year and it was not pretty

I don't think small A-League squads leave a lot of options for 'IF' scenarios - does any other A-League team have 4 starting/senior CB's? Unless we're saying that Fox is considered a youth prospect that won't play much this season.

I think we saw last year that combo is not A-League standard so you HAVE to plan accordingly!  You can't say that if Rossi gets injured that we write the season off.

Yeah, but you also have to be pragmatic when talking about an A-League squad. Ideally, we would get an additional CB that can also cover FB positions at a pinch. Manny was that guy before. (just reversed)

I guess NTS can play FB?
