Was there info from the Vanuatu game? Club posted a clip of Kaltak meeting local fans after the game.

Oh dear

Yikes.

Rowles played for Roar before here. Megsy for Parramatta in the old NSL before the Mariners. Ditto for Wilko and Northern Spirit.

Yeah but they all played for the Mariners BEFORE playing for Aus. Unlike the 2 you mentioned.

This whole Vanuatu thing gives me a bad feeling.... Can't articulate why, just seems off

How strange that they haven’t mentioned the first game result

I'm waiting for the next Tommy P (AKA the greatest Mariner ever)

Smoking darts before training, then smoking everyone in training with his speed. Certified legend.

Big money grab I think. We need money. Vanuatu offered us money to go over there and sign their captain. Hopefully they are essentially paying his contract by the money we're getting from them. I don't think there is anything "off" about it, it's just a cash making opportunity. What to you mean by "off"?

Is that the criteria?

Yeh I guess just a cash grab from one of the poorest countries in the South Pacific just doesn't sit well with me.

I can see it's doing alot of good for their community and getting fans in other regions, but still get a weird feeling.

You can’t imagine their FA, who is footing the bill, would have that much money. Wyoming FC recently donated them a heap of playing strips.

I also don’t think they are footing the bill. On Socials it looks to be a good bonding experience and with the result not so sure about a good training experience. Could be the WC money? Who knows.

This is exactly what I mean, at best it's a humanitarian outreach program that the Mariners can't really afford, at worst it's a money grab from us that they definitely can't afford.

Monty said something on one of the podcasts that sounded like they were footing the bill.
