I know I'm stating the bleeding obvious here, but pre season training has started and while the other clubs have all made significant recruitment progress while we haven't signed a single player
furthermore, and please please please correct me if i am wrong, but the only whispers of new arrivals are the 4 local handy players
Youre not wrong. My guess is that Rudan is figuring out exactly how difficult this job will be.
Can you expand on what you mean by this? Do you think that good players are hard to attract here because of (a) our uncertain future; (b) our reputation as failures; (c) not enough cash being splashed; (d) the Wellington climate; (e) a combination of the above?
Of course, this is an improvement on previous seasons, where a lack of transfer movement would be ascribed to coach incompetence - luckily Rudan still has the benefit of the doubt.
