If we're talking NZ amateur players - I cannot understand how Taylor Schrijvers cannot get a look in at the Phoenix. Tall, strong, quick and very good with his feet. I've watched him in several games over the past few seasons both TW's and Miramar and have not seen him have a poor game. IMO the best defender in NZ's amateur setup bar possibly Brian Kaltak.
Absolutely! Both Schrijvers and Kaltak are physically incredible for the amateur level and need much bigger challenges. Both would be nice, think Kaltak's the best CB in NZ (slightly ahead of Schrijvers and Mitchell) but his age limits his potential development that comes with the exposure to A-League football
