He's also proof enough for me why we shouldn't be wasting our time trialling, let alone signing players without solid records at A-league level or better.

The fantasy of extracting a future A-League star from the lesser leagues may be exciting but the reality is you will waste far too much time and resources on what nearly always turns out to be a massive fail.
Virgilli certainly has rhe talent. I don't think theres any doubt over that. He probably hasnt taken his chance at A league level which is left him back at NPL Level.

I read alot of guys bagging the likes of Virgilli and NPL level players. But seriously where are the jets going to get their players???? Heard of the salary cap??? I say use the money and get a good foreigner and give a young aussie kid a go.
