White Hot

Ben White (left) declared himself in White Hot form following his four goal rout of Toitu United last week. "I feel like I'm now the best defender, midfielder and striker in the team" said White "and I'm probably not a bad goalkeeper either". Rovers Manager Steve Hall said there had been reports of a bright white light following White around but added "we not keen to promote the star culture at the club but if he knocks in four this week we'll have to reconsider". White responded by saying his management skills weren't too shabby either.

Land Rovers are set to play Division 4 runners up and fellow building occupiers Sytec in the next round of pre-season games at the Shed of Dreams. Sytec who finished runners up in Division 4 are expected to provide a good test of how far Land Rovers have or haven't developed as an indoor football team. "We're looking to build for the future" said Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall "and if we're one day going to be the best indoor team in Wellington then we'll have to get out of our comfort zone sooner or later". Hall said Smith would be hard to replace when he left for Perth as "not many people can take out three of the crowd on half way with a shot on goal from out in front".
