I mentioned him before but are we considering the elder Supyk - Adam, who plays LB for Wellington Olympic.
I suspect he's not on the radar of Gill & Chiefy. Few years ago now but from memory he struggled at the 2023 U20 WC in Argentina, and not long after was let go by the Nix. Trialled around the UK (has a British passport) but no luck getting a gig there. It looks like his young brother is the bigger talent.
Guys like Zac Zoricich & Deklan Wynne probably have stronger credentials. Though is Zoricich more a RB?What's Scott Galloway up to?
Seems a good chance the Nix will sign the left sided Matt Ellis (you don't bring a guy back for a 2nd trial without good reason), and maybe they plan to convert him into a LB/LWB?? The Phoenix have a long history of converting attacking players into full backs. They also have LKH of course.
