Nix to loan players to Northern Fury; maybe
Not sure that the Queensland NPL is the best place to send or source players (quite a step down from NSW and Vic state leagues), but given limitations of SS Premiership and Wellington United Weenix, some sort of plan is required.
In the past we seem to have had the same sort of deal with Oakley Cannons, at least we used to send a few players their way, including some on loan. I wonder if it's just the Phoenix expanding their net / influence - first look at new talent, etc.
Good point but regardless of whether it's the kids or over 20s I wonder what training quality is like - learning from seasoned pros vs QLD NPL kids and semi pros; who is coaching there?
