Turns out Corban Piper and Xuan Loke are also injured
— Andrew Voerman (@andrewvoerman) May 13, 2025
One to be omitted from the following...
Oluwayemi, Boon
L Kelly-Heald, Lee, Sheridan, Smith, Sutton, Wootton
Nagasawa, Retre, Roa Conchie, Rufer
Barbarouses, Brooke-Smith, Ishige, Makowem, Sloane Rodrigues, Supyk, Walker https://t.co/3TfXC2lynO

The term 'threadbare' doesn't get thrown around enough these days.
Absolutely no hopes for this one tomorrow to be honest though. They were at a low ebb before the injuries mind you, but we may as well have just sent the rest of the reserve side along...
If this was Football Manager, I'd throw all the kids out there and the motivational speech to start the game would be 'just go and have fun out there'
Could be a hard watch tomorrow. 😥

No Piper. Jeepers. Someone had better try and take the game by the scruff of the neck then.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Can anyone post the link to the Mariners Perth game that's just started? I cant find it.

And 2-0 to CCM at half time.
I’m sitting next to a couple of French girls who can’t understand why nobody is chanting - I really don’t have a good answer for them. But I got talking to a guy in a Glory shirt in the beer queue and he turned out to be William Freney’s dad, which was kinda cool.

Sounds like you're having fun there Simon B!
Well what are we to make of this. Both Brisbane and Perth beat us in the last few weeks, CCM beating Perth (so far). We're down to the bare bones, this doesn't bode well for tomorrow.

Looks like there's a mistake with the squad list - they've accidentally included Roa Conchie!

Well it’s been fun seeing Glory fight back to take it to extra time, even if that does mean I’m now looking at an Uber back to town rather than just making the last bus.
But yeah this isn’t feeling like the stage for a famous victory tomorrow night. COYN, prove me wrong!
Nice save from Oli.
I reckon that the Nix need to train on the same pitch that Hurricans/Lions use at NZCIS but straight after they've finished. That way the team gets used to less than ideal pitches.

A lot of mention of the conditions in this game with players from both sides tiring.
Have to feel that will play into Roars favour tomorrow - we as a club often don't cope well in those conditions.

I can attest to feeling gross and sweaty just from sitting in the stands, so can’t even imagine how draining it must’ve been for the players.
Forecast for tomorrow is pretty much the same as today, so we really want to wrap it up without going to additional time.
Dunno if I can for this, heard Italiano on the radio this morning. Essentially saying we'll try and play our best to build for the next season, went on to say "we've had a poor could of weeks this season". A poor couple of weeks? is he deluded, he had a good few weeks to start and then it all went tits up!

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
Not sure i actually want to know but where can I even watch this?
Would be nice to see GSR start i guess. Thats about all there is to see probably

It’s on YouTube.
The lads are on the pitch warming up, I haven’t seen anyone else in a Nix shirt yet but hoping maybe the Little Corner of Yellow or another fan group have made it here.
I did get to tease a Roar player I saw stretching out back of the stands that we’re going to beat them, to his credit I got a grin and a thumbs-up. So I’ve probably jinxed us now.

Great that you're there Simon. Hope you get to take your shirt off at 80 min! What's the temperature like?

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

We're gonna be electric and win 4-1 even with a depleted squad and it's going to be all the more frustrating because it's inconsequential and we are going to be left wondering where the hell all that fight has been? All season

The good thing is, if we play the same way we usually do it will be easy to make the decision to go to bed rather than be tired tomorrow.
Lotta Brissie supporters here tonight judging by the reaction to that penalty.
