Thought I would put a quick summary of teams here. I have listed in the order I think they will finish. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong or wright.
Auckland City: Looking every part the team they have been over the past 5 years. The young boys added from Wellington are worth their spots and have added quality whilst being Kiwi-born. Kris Bright also to add goals when he comes back in, Auckland looks too good to stop and will take the title back this year.
Team Wellington: Don't seem to be reaching the untouchable heights of the last two seasons. The squad looks strong enough to push Auckland City all the way to the end this season but I believe the gap is too big.
Eastern Suburbs: Depths looks to be a problem. Maybe have 11 players capable of pushing Auckland city but rarely do teams get their best 11 in the park consistently. Will be interesting if/what impact Chris James will have.
Tasman: Results are rewarding the loyal fanbase they have down there. They look well organized and have strategically added key players to their squad.
Hawkes Bay United: Have lost a little quality and goals over the offseason. Angel again has conjured up a competitive team from a limited resource that plays to there strengths. A midtable finish at best.
Waitakere United: Players have the quality to push the top half of the league but at this stage look very unorganized and clueless. Also, reports of missed payments and financial disarray don't instill confidence.
Southern United: The best Southern United team in years. The Irish lads are worth the admission fee to enjoy there intensity and drive. Cant be taken lightly and can upset anyone.
Canterbury United: No Clapham, will struggle.
Weenix: Haven't seen them play
Hamilton Wanders: 5 game in the team looks to have lost its self-confidence. Captain looks as though he doesn't care. I can only wonder if Herbert had his eyes open when he took the job as the franchise is lacking in many areas.
