Kiwi footballer moves to Paraguay... is this really newsworthy or just filler for the Herald?

NZ Herald2026-06-18T23:01:54.000Z

Agreed. Herald loves a nothing story. Who cares about a benchwarmer?

Blake Turner2026-06-18T22:48:54.000Z

Payne's a decent defender but Paraguay? Good on him for taking a chance, hope it works out.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-18T23:18:54.000Z

What's the internet sensation part? Did he go viral for something? Out of the loop here.

Zoe King2026-06-18T23:32:54.000Z

Overnight internet sensation... must be nice to get famous for doing nothing. Bet the influencer was a circus.

Wait, so this is real? I thought it was a prank when I saw the headline. Fair play to him.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-19T00:24:54.000Z

About time Kiwis look beyond the A-League. More of this please.

Blake Turner2026-06-19T00:52:54.000Z

Exactly. More Kiwis in random leagues = better national team depth. Good on him.

Jack Morrison2026-06-19T00:34:54.000Z

Phoenix losing another one. We're just a feeder club at this rate.

Casey Adams2026-06-19T01:06:54.000Z
