The Brisbane & Sydney Hammers from Australia are in New Zealand to watch the Football United tour and earlier today Claret and Hugh caught up with Brisbane Hammers chairman Dave Rhodes to give us an update of today’s open training session.

“David Gold said Andy Carroll had a slight knock and would play a half tomorrow. He didn’t train today. There wasn’t a whole lot to report from the training. They were kicking the ball about doing a bit of sprints etc. everybody was there except Carroll from what I could see. Kevin Nolan came over for a chat with the Brisbane Hammers and he was good as gold. The West Ham media team took our banner to the dressing room and got it signed by all the West Ham lads. None of the other players came over to us which was a bit disappointing but David Gold came over for a good chat, what a lovely bloke he is.  We were interviewed by West ham TV first  then New Zealand  TV Channel One News which you can see below.  COYI”
