Hang on. So you accept that ricki picks players from the ASBP, and they went on to do well. Yet you've always said that he never does this.
No I haven't said "never' just not enough. It's true that only Siggy became one of his favourites. Barbarouses was mostly a sub and Rojas was often played out of position, when played at all. Both went on to prove themselves at other A League clubs. I gather the sudden signing this season of a host of Kiwi players like Brockie, Fenton, Boxall and Boyd etc is more the result of pressure from Welnix behind the scenes.
