Contracted Players - Return of the Long Pins

That broken leg is hopefully now well behind him.

Double leg break is hard to come back from! Ask any player who has suffered it . #JellyLeg

I wonder if he will play deeper under Rudan?

it’s a bit unclear to me where the last few members of our squad are going to come from, not kiwis obviously, we have one import slot and Aussie players are pretty well committed. What’s the actual plan.

A tough competitor who really never had a chance to 'get goiing' with limited playing time. I hope he can take this opportunity to excel.

Did you know Michal Kopczynski's girlfriend is one of Poland's best rugby players? ?

They're both looking to take New Zealand by storm in their Kiwi adventure.https://t.co/1wDd7IBqnh #ALeague

Just talked with him and Kurty at the All Blacks game. Both super friendly and keen to talk shop on their night out. I was surprised to see them at a rugby game tho

When moving to a new country, you want to soak up some of the local culture. Like it or not the All Blacks and rugby are a huge part of NZ’s culture.

From memory I remember Paul Ifill and/or his wife, stating when moving to NZ they looking forward to attending a few AB games - coming from rugby families back in the UK.

It's just like going to a baseball or basketball game in America really, you're going to see the very best at a sport

After a tough 12 months Mitch Nichols says he, and @WgtnPhoenixFC, have plenty to prove this season.https://t.co/3eVsMYDa76 pic.twitter.com/e13lMiXSe3

Come on down Maximum Burgers. 

Looks decent. I think the his pace is what put him ahead of ADJ, by the looks of how we are likely to play that's pretty important. Excited to see what he can bring. 

Underwhelmed... which is surprising since I have been keen to hear news of any kind for so long.

Hope he does well... might be one of those playes who just needed a decent chance.

Is that going to be a swap for Callan Elliot

Yeah it’s cool signing new players and all, but you’d think the Nix could find a better place to take a photo than a literal fudgeing toilet

Note the lovely roll on the right and the flush button on the left

I thought the A League trophy was a toilet seat. Pretty much on the money then!

this is appalling... whoever organised this photo needs a good hurry up. Completely amateurish

!

So you're telling Rudan to shark or get off the pot?

The one that was released doesn't have the toilet stuff though.

Spot the difference....

Are you ok mate

well you can see why the Nix edited out the toilet stuff. 

Too late. It's gonna be dragged out forever. He's a marked man poor bastard. Edit: so is he wearing shorts or not?

Burgess also wearing last season's kit?

I think the yf edited it in.

Yeah, maybe you're right about that.

Yes it would be easier.

it's debatable

No debate, clone stamp would definitely be easier.

Just because it's easier doesn't mean it happened that way. WTF would the club take a photo from a toilet? What a welcome that would be.

That makes sense. But yet here we are, having a debate about whether or not the Nix staged a photoshoot in the crapper.

This is very funny.
