I still think Rory would be quality for us....
Yeah people kind of over estimate the A-League I think. Its hard to draw comparisons to other leagues around the world. Some people might say its on par with the Championship/League 1, but in reality I could see Conference sides competing with the A-League. There are some incredibly dire performances in the A-League every week...
The only thing Rory probably doesn't have going for him is his age. I wouldn't take such a gamble on an import but because he's a kiwi, id be more happy to see him sign for a season or less and released because he's been proven to not be good enough, than just being outright told he's not good enough without having given him a run first.
This would be a good time of year to sign him.
