Fenix
Wisnewski now. Looks like we will have much the same squad as last year.
I guess we will be able to assess the relative quality of the coaches.
I would expect Haslett and satchel to re-sign as well,can't see them getting better offers. I certainly hope we get Foster. 
Not sure about that. At least hope not. Thats 9 signed. Squad size is 20-26 odd.
Can see maybe 2 or 3 more from last year re signing. Foster hopefully, one of the goal keepers probably. Hassett now plays in Iceland so probably not.
That leaves half a squad to fill.
Import striker ?? Import other ?? Wouldn't surprise me if we see an import keeper.
WC squad members that are currently unattached.
Bunge, Foster, Bowen, Longo, Steinmetz, Wilkinson, Stachell, Paige Riley.
Will hope a few of those will get OS contracts. One or two maybe don't fit Temples plans.
Also maybe Brown. Blake.. 
Best performers at U20 were, Errington, Nathan, Benson, McMechan. So 1 or 2 of them may come in on a scholarship. Acadamy graduates. Macy Fraser, Ruby Dugan maybe.
Temple is probably also waiting to see if any local players from NL put there hands up (aka Foster last season). Still plenty of time for that.
Aussie players in the Aussie NPL to consider also. They probably see the Nix as a good stepping stone like Cicco last year.
Am hoping for quite a different team / dynamic this coming season. Training doesn't start till September, so I hope Temple is busy on the phone right now.
