Oh man, the Wāhinix are going to own this league :D

Still one more spot isn’t there to make the squad even more awesomer?

Ohhh….. so how would Natalie or Gemma have gone if they had the same playing resources? A bit hard to compare, as those foundation players now have 2 more seasons of experience and I guess it would be how would they go if they came back this season. 

Still this raises the expectations to at least top4 for me and a run to the semis in the cup. 

Hopefully they can all gel together as a squad and be tight on and off the field. 
Fingers crossed. 
Expectations were pretty high at start of last season also. I remember Natalie Lawrence being pretty confident after we signed a raft of experienced Football Ferns in Rolston, Satchell and Hassett.....
Quite a few import signings today to other ALW clubs, including two import GK's. So competition is going to be as tough as ever.

Nat was out of her depth though and should never have been given the top job.
Temple will have this team buzzing.
That may well be the case but also very harsh on Nat who was a very last minute appointment through no fault of her own.
Yes that's true. But that doesn't change the fact that Nat appeared to be out of her depth even though she was involved right from the beginning. She would have learnt alot from her experience though. 
But the disappointing thing for me now is that after all the investment put into Lawrence and Lewis by NZF at international and pro league level. They have both now up and left NZ football all together leaving the women's space quite bare of experienced female coaches.
