We don't know, just speculating because it's been a very quiet off-season (maybe we assume they don't communicate with players often because they don't communicate with fans often?).

I think Chief (or Gill on the pod?) said that they have reached out to some out of contract/fringe AW players (Waine being the only one named) so we hopefully contacted some kiwis.

Would be very difficult to convince players like Waine, Garbett (still hope), Just, Singh to come here so fair enough we haven't progressed with them.

Players like Bevan, Whyte, Wynne we are likely one of their best options based on their current situations so it seems more likely we don't want/haven't tried to get them which is strange in my opinion. Would be very mutually beneficial as we need experienced, resident players aged 23-30 who aren't injured and these guys would be getting regular minutes in a better league that could open more pathways for transfers or AW call ups.

So some of you know for certain that the Phoenix havnt bothered approaching these guys. Just asking as im always seeing the assumption made that its the Phoenix not making the offers. Any chance its the players not wanting to come here.

We don't know for certain, have to speculate because they club doesn't talk about it (maybe because they don't communicate with fans much, we assume that they don't communicate with players much?).

We don't know for certain why because club doesn't talk about it often. It's all squad speculation.
