TBF if Howieson wanted to trail he probably would have been there ahead of Burgess.
Remember that, guys. Burgess is probably keen as mustard for his slot. Many top Kiwi players won't even get out of bed for the Phoenix.
I want players who are grateful for a Nix gig and will bust their gonads to play their best (this also excludes superannuated Eurotrash or Latinamericatrash). The argument for affirmative action for Kiwi players at the Nix has decreased since so many of our best young players are getting on the professional ladder elsewhere (or, like the Olé crew, think they're too good for us).
