Anyone we can 'Smith' like GCU did to get players on our squad? James- a definite goal scoring mid, who can pass, run and tackle a bit, seems like absolutely the ticket. Plus experienced.
Would like a decent large striker, able to muscle, and also poach goals, with good scoring pedigree in Wellington.
In short be happy to cut Brindell-South, Boyd, Huysegems, Adams or Riera if necessary. Though I would quite like to keep Riera. But removing any of those players and adding Rory and James, possibly with one as a marquee would be good for the gate and be good for the quality of our squad, and are EXACTLY the sort of signings the kiwi exemption is supposed to encourage us to make. Don't make us wait until next season....!! make Boyd a deal- scrap his current contract or something and he'll get a deal when people retire in the next dig or something...or just say that we thought Brindell South was a footballer and it turns out that he's a postman or something...
Make it happen!
Are marquees exempt from squad numbers?
Rory seems to score as much as Stein from tap ins and be just as quick these days, but also has the ability to head the ball.
