This fulla is making a big impression, despite our team not shining as a whole. It is exciting to see him bombing forward, having the confidence to make a difference and the determination. He defends well most of the time too, a big step up from our previous RBs since Boxall. In fact he is reminisent of our beloved Boxall and I'm sure he will continue to develop. Keep it up Tratty!

Runs like bambi on ice but I've been impressed with his efforts this season stepping up from the NPL.

He's very awkward on the ball, but someone manages to move his gangly limbs in such a way that he bamboozles players.

Have been pretty impressed with Tratty. Think he's solidified his spot in the team and been one of the more consistent players so far. Real Manny Muscat find.

He just keeps on getting better. His "off the ball" work is pretty good.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

And still very young. One of the better under 23s in the league?

Wonder if he might move into a holding midfield role at some stage. Seems to have some relevant attributes. Pretty mobile, decent in the air, doesn't mind a tackle.

Loves a good full blooded yellow card challenge.

not a bad shout, would like to see what his spatial awareness, his left foot and range of passing is like.

NZF should be looking to naturalise him asap. 

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

He's flattered plenty of players this year. One in Newcastle stands out.

Strikes me more as a Centreback, more comfortable with the ball generally in front of him

Has generally impressed more with bullocking runs and a few effective, but basically satirical Ronaldo-esque moves. Hasn't impressed a la Manny, along the lines of you realise that the opposition hasn't played down his side for 30 minutes because there's simply no way through over there. Has been handy defensively, but still much less of an obstacle than Moosecat or Boxall. 

Still, has been a lucky answer to our right back question.

i think he's a weak point. his defensive positioning is way off and although this isn't his fault his constant forward runs lack judgement, i.e. as in when to and how to

that's not to say he won't become a decent a-league right back
