Excluding the Nix there are probably less NZers in the ALM than the NSL days.. My point is that the model the Nix are running limits or precludes looking at National League players.....

It surprises me that we never see any players from the National League have a chance. If you aren't in the Nix academy then there is no other pathway in NZ for young NZ players to make the step up to A League. 

the number of kiwis in the a-league now and before the nix would suggest otherwise.

Barba, Lewis, Sail & Payne the only non Weenix Academy players currently in the ALM? Zac Zoričićh I guess another, who predominantly was raised in NZ?

Roux & Ingham grew up in Aussie. Same Lachlan Bayliss at the Jets.

You'd think will be a stronger domestic pathway to the Auckland team next season, them not having an Academy. 

And could a NZ team or two, be included to the proposed new OFC pro club league when that kicks off (2025 by the sound of it). Plus new 2nd tier NST in Aussie to start March next year if it happens. An announcement on the NST can't be far away.
Not There have been NZers in the NSL...
