Terry McFlynn early shower, Rhyan Grant and Yairo Yao up front, Frank Farina calling the shots. and Delps back home in Sydney wondering how he got here.
What a time to be alive.

At first glance last night I thought the name on the back of his shirt was PAYLESS :rofl:

Did anyone else just automatically read this in Rhynos voice?

Thatā€™s right, it was a real miracle of scheduling.

I was in Wellington attending a wedding on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th, then Sydney FC were there playing on Sunday 9th. It was such a slice of luck.

I believe I was also at this game. Was it our first win in Welly?

I think youā€™re right the only other win other in NZ was in Palmerston North.

There was one before that, in 2008: Wellington Phoenix FC vs Sydney FC ā€“ SFC Statistics

But our record in Welly before that 2012 game was 1W-1D-7L; afterwards 6W-3D-1L

Well I wasnā€™t there so that game in 2008 didnā€™t happen :wink:

Hate to be the technicality guy, but it looks like fistuserectus thought he was played at AM, not CF:

In his first proper game in charge of the club, Farina showed faith in his back-up fullback Rhyan Grant, pushing him forward to attacking midfield - the role usually assumed by Del Piero. With Hagi Gligor on the bench, it was a risky move, however Grantā€™s work rate alongside striker Blake Powell immediately put the Wellington defenders under pressure, making it difficult for them to play out from the back.

The man himself has said he was up front.

That is more than enough for me.
