It's a real problem being restricted to only 11(?) Kiwis, especially if the team is to be based in Welly now.
ALW seems still in many ways a league with many part time players, those with study commitments or other jobs in the off season .

So not so easy for many Aussies to uproot their lives in Oz to move to NZ maybe, for 6 months. Nix could be left signing some young Aussies that ain't that good, just to sign the 7(?) Australians required.

Then if you sign some of the more experienced free agent Kiwis above, some promising young Kiwis ain't given a chance. The next Alyssa Windham discovery is stuck playing amateur National League football, whilst some less talented Aussie prepared to move to NZ gets a gig.

That max 11(?) Kiwi players restriction, seemed an unnecessary rule now for Football Australia to still have, given plenty of new opportunities for young Australian talent to play in ALW, with new teams Western U & then CCM the following season, coming into the league.
