This whole off season has really put paid to the idea that we can't get Australians to come to Wellington (Ernie take note)

Agreed - I think we've done quite well to get players that we wouldn't normally be the first choice for.

However, we've hardly recruited any Australian players that other clubs were clamoring for - except maybe Vidosic.



yeah but even if these guys aren't absolutely in demand we are getting A-League players rather than state league players.  It's interesting that after telling us that there were so many gems in the state leagues while coach of the Phoenix I notice Ernie hasn't exactly dipped his toes back into the state leagues to recruit for the Jets!
