I don't know, I'd rather a young player switch than and old one (Bertos), kinda like the whole Benji to union thing, Being younger is better, can still learn and develop with an open mind.

Can't say I watched the game though - saw Leo today though :o (just moved to welly)

Did anyone see Tuiloma vs Birkenhead today? Like I said, he needs to play in ASB Prem for a season against better players. Krishna and Turner turned him inside out today. Talk in the clubrooms was he doesn't know when or if hes going to OM. One minute hes supposed to be at LA Galaxy, then he apparently had a trial at Fortuna Sittard, now supposed to be going to OM in France. Why hasn't he gone? Very strange, programme even said goodbye to him and yet I heard his Dad say hes not going yet and when asked when didn't know, Hes a good player but needs to play against some better opposition more often

If he's signed elsewhere it'd make a lot of sense as to why he hasn't come down to trial in Wellington.

Sounds like his agent is spinning many yarns.

Bill Tuiloma: the Will He? Won't He? Why Doesn't He? Why Hasn't He? man. You gotta love it.

That was similar to what I had when I was up there a couple of weeks ago when they announced over the tannoy that he was off.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding, and OM stands for Onehunga-Mangere.

Sounds like a classic transfer case of a player who is in the process of being signed  somewhere and has been told by his new club to keep quiet about it until they announce it formally. In the mean time someone has blabbed, so now the player and his family are in "don't know whats happening mode" trying to shut it down until something is officially announced.

 Its possible its OM but I would be very very surprised if it is. OM are a big club who regularly play CL football. They normally scout and  recruit heavily from Africa. Its hard to imagine they would sign a kiwi kid on the strength of one and a half U21 WC games. Still...good luck to Bill where ever he is going!!!!!


If Tuiloma has NOT signed somewhere then he would be trialing at the Nix.

meanwhile, Tuiloma has no idea there is this much fuss about going on about him and is casually going about his ways.

He said he wants his RB/LB to be able to attack. 2 birds with one stone. I do agree however, from what I saw at Porirua park, Fenton is not up to it.


You were there and the mods were there as well I believe? What did you do, introduce yourself as Nuf-NZ and receive a great reception and be shouted a beer? Or hide in the corner in your rain jacket?

Um...Nathan Burns? Supposedly Jets are favourites to sign him but two other clubs are interested. Could we be one of those two?!

Jets have already signed him on loan, haven't they? He just touched down in Australia.

At the start of the season Merrick said he was interested to tap into the asian market for foreign players. Not sure how I feel about this, but no progress or rumours of foreign players as of yet..?

I'm in Asia and seen a couple of allstar games v Chelsea etc and there are some decent local and import players on show. Maybe this is an untapped market?

Has shown willingness to do this previously with Sukha and Suksomkit from Thailand. Only Sukha was a marginal success.

Does anyone know if they are serious signings? By serious I mean 1st team or senior players?
Or are we just beginning to fill out the roster with youth and developing players?

Why? Mr Big had his chance to put his balls on the line when I called him out. He dropped them. Tried to play Mr Big and chickened out. That's why I think everything he says is full of shit.

ditto, he's one of these posters that claims to have inside knowledge but has never come through with anything that we all didn't already know - unliek the classics from 2ndbest.
