Maybe the Cod factor could work in our favour for once.
We have never really had a player that got under the opposition skin whenever reeled out. Rather be winners than the team everyone gets on with.
IMHO shows we are serious contenders potentially, depending on who the renaming imports are and what they offer.
Signing two washed up Aussies who no other club wanted (for various reasons - in Williams case : not good enough, in Nichols case: usually not good enough because his nose was full of coke) shows we are "serious contenders"?. Nichols is a complete cod and is not fit to wear the shirt.
For mine, these are really, really disappointing signings. I would've rather kept Rogerson and WeeMac if we were going in this direction.
Signing two washed up Aussies who no other club wanted - just like when we first signed Burns right?
Williams comes in off the back of 3 pretty good seasons in the Hungarian top flight. Nichols is unquestionably a good player who has had personal issues in the past - maybe Wellington is the place where he can regain his form. In terms of codness he is far less of a cod than Griffiths, and most people eventually accepted he was looking like a decent player until injury.
Burns was an amazing player when he was young. He was worth a punt. He was also never a cod.
This is more like Nick Ward, Joel Griffiths, Adrian Caceres, Adam Kwasnik territory.. Griffiths did decent, Ward and Caceres did OK. Kwasnik was sharke.
