On recruitment. Gill said they were hoping to re-sign 5-7 more players from last season.
Throwing a few NZ names out there.
Lets hope we see Longo, Foster, Whinham, Main, Edwards, Robertson sign on again.
Question is how wide outside there academy will they look. Current acadamy players Jerez, Eglington or McMillian could move onto scholarship deals..
Looking further afield at other NZ free agents with A league experience that could be available. You'd think Grace Jale would be top of that list. Followed by Hannah Blake, Liz Anton and Deven Jackson. Also NZ U20 players Ruby Nathan and Helena Errington.
Below that level at NPL. Lancaster and Dominikovich seem to be standing out.
In NZ. Do they try and lock in younger talent before Auckland comes onto the scene. A lot of the current NZ U20 squad are already pro, but there are a few still in NZ. Zoe Benson, Lara Colpi and Alexis Cook are all young up and coming players.
Plenty of talent around. Lots for Temple to think about. Can the coaching group identify those with ability to step up and gel as a team.
There will be high expectation once again I'm sure.

Is there much young decent kiwi talent left to sign, are those above good enough?
My impression form afar is that the talent pool is quite shallow. Even here in England there's a huge drop off in ability below the women's super league.
