I am very surprised Gagame Feni hasn't been playing for the Phoenix reserves. He is eligible for NZ now and has been the top goal scorer at Secondary school nationals the past two years and still has one more year left at Nayland College. Has scored for Canterbury United and is now a regular in their starting line up. Has an x-factor a lot of New Zealand strikers don't have. I am pretty sure he hasn't even trained with the Phoenix before yet so many other New Zealand youngsters have. He'd be getting my vote for the YF scholarship.
I would imagine that after 15 years of every Solomon islander being talked of in these tones that there is some cynicism about the next one being ready for the level of football. There is a long line of players in the position hyped beyond belief who never prove to be better than National League level.
Incidentally, it seems he has the same X-Factor as Batrim Suri, Henry Fa'arodo, Commins Menapi, Benjamin Totori, Alick Maemae, Michael Fifii, Andrew Abba, Joachim Rande...
