Happy to see Te Atawhai Hudson-Wihongi sign for us. Was unlucky with the timing of his injuries last season so unfortunately missed out.
Speaks a lot about his mindset that he's come back for another crack, so in that sense, couldn't be happier for him. Gives us a bit of versatility and a few options on the pitch too. Going to have a guess and say Tim Payne will be next to sign up.
Good to see we're ahead of last season too in terms of signings going into the start of the FFA Cup. Think we had 15/16 on the books this time last year, so a bit more time for the squad to gel before competitive fixtures.
Should have implied that we went into our first match with 15/16. Still 3 weeks left until kickoff this time around with players on trial or on their way too so still ahead of the game, if that's what this even is.
Comparison would probably be a more apt description of our current recruitment situation too.
