Whilst not wanting to sound pessimistic ,NZ involvment in obtaining players to compete in the A-league to me has always had a feel of,what sort of players we get are based on last seasons performances"
 
I notice how many players are returning to Australia (Ex Pat Australians) & how many players of a perceived higher quality are being recruited from Europe & South & Central America.
 
In short I hope RH has his finger on the recruiting as each year this league has got better.

Tards better - Cakes better - Salty Dogs better.

The others ?  Not yet, and unlikely to be on current signings.

Good point! Having the likes of Old and Tim Brown and Christie is not exactly huge steps on from the Knights or Kingz. Lets hope that they are our steady players if required and the rest of the new recruits are outstanding!
 
We really need to get some more kiwi's in the team that are on form and promising for the future. Interesting to see who the 2 other U20's players are.

I doubt it, Simon Elliott would know Tim Browns good.

HAHA... Well, I did live in Fulham for 5 years between 2001 and 2006 and went to a few fulham games; as a supporter. I also played in Fulham for a team called Fulham Old Boys.
 
I did use Simon Elliots name once  to help me get into a night club in Chelsea called Purple. It worked, but I don't think the girl had heard of Simon. lol

True I haven't watched a lot of NZ based players of recent years. I went to the Wales game though. Hard working player and decent. Just not outstanding is all I was saying. Maybe shouldn't have included his name in my rant.
 
I do have issues with Steven Old though. He needs to harden up a bit and cut out the silly mistakes. He has time on his side.
