There must be some gems playing within the NZ league that would be
worth a look. I'm sure there are the sort of players that are
rock solid (especially in defense) and would thrive with an
opportunity in a professional environment.
What sort've reserve squads do teams have in the a-league? Is
it sustainable? It's the sort of thing the Phoenix need to get
players regular game time, a chance to impress and to put pressure
on the 'regulars'.
For instance, when is Paston going to get a chance in
goal? Moss has been gold in bits but lacks the overall
authority needed with our struggling defence. Take a look at
that CCM keeper, he is awesome, and dominates back there!
