Central Coast Mariners Squad 2021/22

[Big Dog]

Definitely excited to hear Jake has been given an opportunity if true. Very solid player but as others have stated a bit raw yet. How can he develop further though without being given an opportunity to test himself with the squad. Great move by Monty.
Garang still a ways to go for first team squad in my view but hopefully he'll be here for a while and get his chance.

I hear we signed Jake Farrell from the academy to a senior contract

Would this count as one of the 18 cap players?

If it’s a senior contract then yes it would count

 

[Ozhammer]

Signed on a scholarship might make more sense for his first season as a professional perhaps?

I had a little look at the boys today. I liked what I saw. They look organised and disciplined. It was 11 a side and it was willing.
I get the feeling Monty is going to be a very very good coach.


Olli and Nizzy looked great together.
Got a look at Cy Goddard who is small but looks confident.
I can see why some people like Max Ballard.
Dan Hall and Rowles Royce looked super sharp, especially Rowles who may step it up another level this season.
The two keepers were young lads but i liked the shortish stocky one (Ethnic) as he is a great talker and reads the game well.

Didn't see Matt Simon, Urena, Birras, Roun or Frenchie out there.

I got shoed away after 5 or 10 min for bursting their Covid Bubble (done nicely).

My conclusion. We looked really young but aggressive, fit and well drilled already.

COYY.

Thanks for the update!

I’m hearing that Monty (at this stage) is really well respected. Training is going well. Also that the new boys are settling in really well and are both mature nice people - which is not always common with younger athletes.

There was a Black guy playing CB that I haven't seen before. He looked composed. Who is he Pete I presumed he was a Youth player.

Was it Gideon Arok?

 

[Ozhammer]

I think I saw that kid walking along Terrigal esplanade with Dan Hall on Sunday arvo, so it could well be him.

Could well have been Pat. He was up the other end of the pitch and was tall and lean.
I was trying to look inconspicuous down where the bar is.
They have mixed training tops so a few people had Kuol and Casella on their back.

It's Friday... time for another signing announcement?

 

[shipwreck]

Did we ever get to the bottom of what all the Gem Karacan spool was about? Psy-ops from the club or just trolling?

Fan speculation I think

Pure speculation on here. Rumours of another visa player inbound though
