Damn, I'd love us to pick up a Syrian refugee football wizard, because that would make Winston Peters look like (even more of) a cock. Especially if they're a devout Muslim who can't drink water during Ramadan daylight hours but still tears it up.

i was talking to him before the game and he said ernie told him he was no longer needed, so will be heading home and will probably return to state leagues in aussie.

That's a shame, he seemed like a decent option. Quick too. Oh well, one less defender in our squad...

That's a shame. I thought in the few games he played he looked pretty handy. Certainly good enough to be cover in a position where we've always struggled. If Doyle goes down who have you got to put in there (when Muscat's gone)? Fenton? Would rather have Danaskos to be honest.

What about Troy Danaskos? I hear he's off contract and it's not going to be renewed. He's young, fast, and looked alright in the few games he played this season. Could be a good backup?

Who's seen much of Dimairo this season? How's he progressing? Can he play LB? Also, isn't McGarry left-footed? Is Ernie going to try to convert him to a LB?

Zullo, Murnane, Warren, Woodcock & Sim.

There was also a rumour from a rubbish sauce that Roux was trying to get out of his CCM deal in order to sign for us.

It's a shame we dont try to take advantage of that by playing with quite a narrow attack this season. (Though our full-backs probably haven't got forward as competently as Ernie wanted them to)

There were a few weeks where Tom Doyle was whipping in great crosses that created chances, seems a long time ago now.

So Watson was going around telling people how much he would earn if he got a contract next year..... Got hairdryer treatment from Merrick and dropped. Who thinks he will be offered a contract now?

The only times we have looked threatening in attack the last couple months is when we have been more direct, playing thru him. Would be surprised if we don't re-sign him, even if he was telling people how much he might earn.

Of course a young guy is going to be bragging about earning money, even the minimum wage of the A-League is big money if you're 22. When I got my first proper job outside of University I was ecstatic as well, even though it was bugger all.

That story about the board not wanting to sign him until late in the preseason to save a few grand doesn't seem to make much sense as he won't be on much.

I hope he signs, but then if he's bragging about money he has the potential to go off the rails and spend half his time in mermaids.
