Clanger last Saurrday was not his first. Great shot stopper but punches too much and has brain fades at the worst possible times.
Two years ago, people were saying precisely this about Mark Paston; and demanding that he be replaced by Moss.
She's a hard road finding the perfect keeper.

Updated for Brockie removal, also word is Boxall has been signed to Supersport as well from July. I think only Boyd & Siggy might get extensions from the lot leaving this year. That'd put us at 17 Players signed up for next season, taking Ernie's comments from the Pod into account the players to be signed are a Striker to replace Brockie, a Defender who can play across the back, and 3 youngsters.
Did you all hear that massive cracking sound? That was my heart breaking.
End of an era. Vinnie - It's over.
If anyone cares for my inane babbling follow @iluvnix17 on the Twitter.

I would be surprised if JBS didn't get an extension. He may or may not be the best defender anyone has ever seen. I think he IS progressing though. He marshalled the backline at Kiwitea Street with aplomb I thought, and played damn well in Adelaide in round 6.
He seems to be on the development path and doing everything that coudl be expected of him. If we didn't give him a new contract I'd say the bar is set very very high.
Did he play fullback or CB at Kiwitea?
CB, generally the right hand CB of the two (Evans was the left most CB, most of the time)
The back four were:
LB Doyle, CB Evans, CB JBS, RB Dimario

It's pretty save to say, the boys who play regular for the WeeNix are the next in line for the first team, they keep them if they develop.
Ben Sigmund will stay, where should he go? He loves the club and is settled in Wellington. He already made his full commitment for the Phoenix with not playing for the All Whites. He still his a very solid player, sign him for two years.

Grumpy old bastard alert
Yep, quite correct. Though we'd probably be better at looking at senior playing numbers, rather than populations.
I was replying to a comment that we probably had an advantage in being able to recruit from all of NZ vs the advantage Aus teams have with their 26 man squads and Youth League. So whether you go by state size or city size, you get the same answer, we do have a wider population to draw from.
So, we should be second in the league then
shame about the marquee stuff
Man, you were right!
That quote from August last year.
Big Pete 65, Christchurch
met siggy the other day . top bloke, chatted to me for a few minutes . reckons that the team will move to lower hutt in the future .
I LOVE LAMP
I talked to him yesterday and he said he reckons the team will move to Wagga Wagga

Phoenix denied that Boxall had signed a contract yesterday.

Kenny will be goneski. Could see a deal for JBS being dependent on how the Academy kids are progressing, same with Hicks. Would keep Boxall & Boyd.
6 months ago I would have been dead set against Siggy getting another contract but he has deserved it by his play this season
I think it is probably an indication that Boxall is gone.
Why?
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
I think it is probably an indication that Boxall is gone.
Perfect chance for him to prove he is first team material.
We need more than 2 CBs
True, but how many are prepared to sit on the bench pretty much the whole season.

Id expect the scherminator to be gone before Boxall.
Except there have been no reports that the Sherminator is going to another club, whereas.......

I wouldn't. Shermy shows promise but still clearly needs development. If he's got half a brain he'll know that, which means he'll be happy to spend another year in the squad, mostly playing for the reserves. Boxall on the other hand probably feels like is good enough to be playing first team football, and if he can't get it here then he'll probably look elsewhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if Musa came back as a replacement for Boxall (if Boxall goes).
