Hasn't been my favourite player watching the Ferns, think she is a little bit past her best, but she'll still be quality in our squad and provide needed experience (which our midfield really lacked last season IMO, Knott underperformed a bit there).

More Ferns please! Keep them coming!

Personally don’t think they need many or any more Ferns. Otherwise you will really start to block pathways for young Kiwis, which is a major reason for this team existing. FA dispense with the silly minimum 7 Aussies requirement and that changes somewhat

But with a proper pre season, full fitness/gym conditioning programs it seems last few months, a year’s further experience under their belts (many going to the U20 WC, some now with time with the Ferns), home games plus Satchell & now Hassett - this should be a much better team than last season already
