For sure you would need to speak to the players about when convos were held with certain clubs and when. 

The Nix also had OVH on the books as a wide player seasons 21/22, 22/23, 23/24 & half 24/25 so I'm not convinced it was just Old they favoured over Randall. OVH is just 4 months older than Randall.

I'm not sure why The Prof keeps bringing up Libby re FDV and the Nix. The time for the club to look at de Vries was yes post him returning from Sweden after his ACL injury. Cacace well gone by then. Did the Nix miss a chance to bring in some depth behind Sutton? Who knows.

Again recruiting is never a perfect science. Plus the Nix heavily favour having the Academy pathway model. This may actually give them a little edge over AFC next few seasons, as the APL introduce a harder cap. We wait to see.

Edit - Prins has definitely been much improved with the OFC Pro finals series in Auckland. Yes before that he was very average. An example of how very useful that Pro League is for developing players for the next level. 5-6 months in a full time pro environment training every day, highly valuable.
