"No disrespect to Fenton at all, he’s a great and dependable player. We need a back up at RB and I think both Kirwan and JHS would provide great competition. Personally would probably start Fenton over JHS, whilst I’d give Kirwan the nod over Louis to start with. I still think Louis is a very good player, but if a new RB is potentially better why not play them?"

No disrespect Friar Tuck, but I read this twice and it still just does not make any sense. 
Firstly, you say that 'we need backup at RB', and I agree with that. Then you follow this up by saying that Fenton should be that backup? To someone untried at this level? Because a new RB is 'potentially better'? 
What comparison can you make, at what level, between Fenton and Kirwan, to arrive at that conclusion?
Kirwan is a regular starter in Serie B which is a similar level to the A-League, if not higher. For example, Piscopo came to us from Serie C (a tier lower) and has excelled in the A-League. If the Nix were to sign either JHS or Niko Kirwan, I think they’d both be on a similar level to Fenton rather than one player being the designated starter and the other being the designated back up. I’d be happy with either player starting, I just put Fenton on the bench because I’d like to see what Kirwan can do. I’m not trying to dump on Fenton, I just think RB is a position we can strengthen, and the available Kiwi RBs are all on a similar level to Fenton imo.

Idk, I don’t think it’s a big a deal as you’re making it out to be, either Fenton or a new RB could start. It just depends on what Uffie wants from the player.
