Saw him got subbed on in the Waitakere United vs adelaide game cause of a knee injury. When he got on the ball showed great speed and talent. Though wondered how does a player who has uefa champions league experience and goals play for such a low division team in new zealand when he is only 26 years old?

Meh, his NZFC and domestic form isn't exactly grand.  I've seen nothing to say A-League quality.

How's my driving? - Whine here

We'll wait till Billy Harris starts talking him up, then we'll know whether he's A League quality or not............. Jag2008-12-12 14:12:20

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

^ It's not like Siggy improved as soon as he donned a Phoenix shirt. I would say he was probably that good before.

The Waitak's token brazilian looked alright I guess. If he isn't standing out in regular NZFC then there is no point looking at him, though. I was more impressed with Vincente when he came on.

Well Siggy is easily our most improved player so its hard to tell and Brockie didn't exactly stand out when he played.

Vincent.  Kayne Vincent.  ex- Auckland Grammar, was in the U-20 qualifying squad for the last U-20 WC but didn't make the final side.

How much could Siggy of improved in a season with us, though? I'm sure he was just as good before.

And sorry HN for some reason I thought his name had an e on the end :/

If he played in the NZFC like he plays with us now he would of been signed by a pro club before we had got him.

Probably getting into really good condition by training and playing daily would help and playing/training against/with a higher standard player forces you to raise your game.
