Same with NCR. The best players in the Hawkes Bay region play for NCR. Not Taradale, Maycenvale, Havelock North etc...
You obviously don't know a hell of a lot about football past the Wellington City area. The best players in the Hawkes Bay region do not play for NCR. There are some very good players who do play for Taradale, Maycenvale, Havelock North etc who, for their own reasons (be that lack of ambition, can't travel every second weekend, loyal to their own Club) do not want to play for NCR. Perhaps in the future when we can set in place a pathway for Hawkes Bay players and get rid of some of the tall poppy syndrome deflected NCR's way we may be able to fully represent the HB playing strengths.
To say that NCR has the best players in the Hawkes Bay region, therefore they are a rep team, is a crock.
If NCR did have all the best players in the Hawkes Bay Region they would probably of won the CL this year but they didn't…
sorry couldn't help taking the opportunity to poke the borax a bit.
NCR has always been a top club that manages to attract top players from all over the country not just the HB and this is why they have won so many top level comps over the years.
