The test will be a player like Wynne, playing for the AFC pro league team.

Traditionally a right back but has been playing in centre defence for AFC and by all accounts has been the best defender in the league. A nice long throw on him and distribution from the back to boot.

Now at right back, AFC, have two in front of him - Sakai and Elliot.

Is he their answer to the centre of defence with the two Australians going? Maybe, maybe not.

Would he be behind Payne, Billy T and Hughes? Yes.

He might be having discussions with AFC but irrespective the Nix should be having the conversation with him as he is clearly superior at right back then Loke and at this stage superior to LKH in the middle of defence.

PS: This discussion should probably be moved to the squad speculation thread.
