Never ceases to make me laugh when a player is promised 22's/Firsts and comes up playing against our U19's when he would have been playing in our U19's at the start and transition to U22's during the year. But i suppose it makes the coaches jobs easier, you are in or you are not, there is no middle ground.
This years 20's is exclusively Magic, no imports Youth progression paying off and Johnny Bennis back to coach them.
We have made some big signings n the past but some of them have been our youth players which were selected into the Jets program and returning to Magic, eventually like Mikey Kanta, Kale. No other NPL clubs have players moving from Senior grades to the Jets like Magic does, yeah the occasional training session, but thats just to make the numbers. We have tried a few keepers in that time but it is a specialist position and you get that, Bowlo is a tough personality to replace.
