@ByPhillipRollo@NZ_Football get Ceri Evans in to camp to have a chat with Luke. The guy’s an absolute legend in high performance circles with his work with the All Blacks and what better PR opportunity than him passing some advice on to only a few months shy of his age when he debuted
@RusselNorman Your brain must’ve absolutely exploded then when Jacinda Ardern hired Gordon Thompson as her Chief of Staff while PM - on unpaid leave from his job as head of a political lobbying firm. Or is that someone more tolerable than extending an invite to an event?
@DewyNZ @ByPhillipRollo Very Dennis Conor-esque behavior from MU. Within the rules but against the spirit of the rules. It’s an amateur comp designed to develop players for the future, not reward wash-up former semi-pros with one last pay day paid for by junior players subs and sponsor donated vehicles
@nicksmi86294459@ByPhillipRollo Disgraceful from Manukau - easy way to fix this is to have a requirement the xx number of U20 players need to be on the field at any given time. Plenty of sports leagues have similar rules with regards to nationality requirements, so not without precedent.
@football_ed@ByPhillipRollo Is the purpose of this amateur league to develop the next generation of All Whites, or to provide one last pay day from junior players subs for washed up former semi-pros? Priorities of clubs has become completely out of whack.
All the Peterborough fans on twitter saying how much of a loss Steven Taylor will be to the club shows what an absolute blinder of an acquisition he can be for the @WgtnPhoenixFC#COYN
