Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[Meerkat]

Believe his recent performances sealed his fate.
Not AL stadard

Until he rocks up at another Aleague Club.

OToole mutually terminated with Sydney. Wonder if we’ve been looking at him for depth? Don’t love the idea but it would make sense

Very, very, very nearly landed here in 2020/21.

 

[Coastalraider]

Almost a Storm style signing - maybe not great heights as far as ceiling goes, but 61 games and 25 y/o as well as specialist lb might have gotten us a few more points the last couple of weeks. Good depth.

Interesting that is was by mutual agreement. Seems to me on the first glance he may have asked for the move or at least voiced his displeasure at the opportunities and told to either work hard or look elsewhere. Purely conjecture though.
On a positive note I spoke to Moresche yesterday and he is very hopeful of getting game time against Brisbane. Obviously a long way back for him but would love to see a fit front third of Cummings, Túlio, DWH, Moresche, Silvera / Benny

Wow I didn’t think he was almost back to playing already. Even if it’s not quite yet that’s great news

 

[BrisRecky]

Has Ayongo left?

AyonGONE and Micheal “Mitch Austin” Ruhs gawnski….so there you go , it’s all up to you DWH to prove the boss right

Someone shit like Perth or the scum but NPL at best.

 

[Ozhammer]

Like many others, I had my doubts about Ruhs from the start and it struck me at the time how he didn’t thank Garang for the two goals he set up for him in the WSW game. I said to Mrs OH at the time that he looked like someone who was for himself first and the team second, so not what we are about as a club.

Hope he finds a gig elsewhere but I won’t be worrying overly about him coming back to haunt us at some point in the future.

Oh well. Closing down the Ruhs fan club of one. Sadly was not making a great case for himself. So long. Thanks for all the fish etc…

I was excited when he was announced and remembered the goal against us in the semi but my membership expired on Saturday

Shows there is quite a jump from talented junior to A aleague level player and especially for attackers because defenders are good.

Sometimes you forget because both Kouls made it look easy

I suspect he was one of those players that received all the junior development and opportunities because of his size and speed.

Its the athlete vs footballer thing. Fast, hard working kids trick a lot of the development pathways. The kids who have skill yet have some other negative (maybe small or not fast or some other BS ) go by the by.

Then at the top level the fast ones get found out because they can't dribble a f**king football and have the game IQ of a wet brick.

Dont get me wrong. There's plenty of Najjar and Najjarine guys round who are lazy, glory seekers who have a pea heart.

I spoke to Garang after he returned from the World Cup. Asked him what was the biggest thing that stood out to him playing against world class opposition. He said he expected it to be intensity and speed of the game but it was actually the vision and calmness on the ball under pressure that players had.

Saw the difference in AL teams on the weekend. JC had so much time on the ball when he slotted those passes and goals.

Whereas the rest of our guys looked like they were under the pump even before a ball was passed to them.

Thinking back to last season somewhere around this time, we had a bad run then Oli got benched and we started to pick up. Maybe Monty has learnt from that, nip problems in the bud early.

 

[Josho Howe]

Sign upgrades in positions you need, get rid of the deadwood not contributing enough. Simple and effective. No free holidays here anymore.

Ruhs announced at western United, the club with the coach that is an expert in youth development

We get DWH and Theoharous and they get Ruhs in return. That's absolutely hilarious.

Haha, chumps

Don't get me wrong I think Ruhs is better than he has been showing recently but tried too hard and became less effective because of it.

With his release Monty obviously didn't believe there was enough growth left in him, or maybe attitude, but either way in Monty we trust
