The issue with losing Tomer is that we potentially end up going through that half season settling in period with who ever replaces him. That hurt us badly this year.
I have no doubt we could find a striker that is as good as if not better than Tomer but I would prefer a more settled squad come match day 1.

And it’s not only this season, but same last with Hooper. Nix having to wait to see who is available after Euro transfer windows. Massive contributor to slow starts to both seasons
Imagine Nix starting next season at ROF, in front of home fans with a fit visa striker (whoever it is), already up to speed with teammates, patterns, not distracted with off field matters like where are his family going to live, what school for his kids etc etc. That is he's already well settled in Wellington, and ready to go when the first A League game kicks off.
