I'm doing my best to find kiwis that are playing either in professional leagues or at US colleges to help in my role as unofficial selector for the Phoenix. I'm sure that there used to be a website or a link from a website that used to list the players and let us know how they were doing. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

What is an "unofficial selector"?  Does that mean you pick a squad, write it in crayon and send it to Ricky Herbert?

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

I think "unofficial selector" means, "I'm 'avin' a larf, mate".

In that case I'm unofficially going out with Rachel Hunter!
Could KiwiBruce be a spy from another A Legaue team?
Isn't Bruce an Australian name anyway?

Rachel Hunter?  If it's going to be unofficial then have some ambition.  Lucy Liu for me.
 
That said it would be interesting to see who is playing where, especially as some may be able to enticed back to Wellington (though a number may be playing in leagues that are not up to A-League standard or may be playing like dogs so it isn't clear cut).

Look @ whose playing where there's plenty of players at "professional" clubs but only a few playing at a level that would make them attractive to the Phoenix. And of course the likes of Killen + Nelsen are frying bigger fish. So it's still a huge challenge to find our 10 kiwi players.

Well if we sign Lochead, Bunce, Covney and Bouckenhouge sign that'll be 9 plus 3 U20's to come.

Is the Bouckenhouge thing pure speculation or have we got some word that he's a target?

Speculation - be a good squad player - covers a lot of positions and has been involved with the All Whites a lot. PROAK2007-05-05 18:28:53
