Scratching my head...that's not exactly what I heard.
From what I remember Jets and Mariners were both mentioned and McBreen said he's leaving it up to his agents.
I could have misunderstood but that's the impression I got.

Sweet. I'm only basing what I heard the commentators say during the game. They my have heard it wrong.

Just watched a bit of yesterdays game. Commentators were talking about how lean our striker stocks were and mentioned how in the pre game they interviewed McBreen and asked him about a possible return to the Mariners - he said his agent is working on it. Anyone watch the pre game show on fox to confirm this?

No they asked him about a return to the a-league & he said he wouldn't rule anything out & that he would leave it to his agent. Nothing from him about the mariners specifically.

Mane wasn't getting any decent service....can't score if he don't get the ball....having said that, he does appear to be a grumpy f**ker, when he got subbed at the smurfdome, his drink bottle and Fluro vest went flying...grumpy indeed

If we are going to continue to go the cheap route in player recruitment I would like to see Matt Thurtell who plays for the Strikers get a trial

Exactly the sort of thing we should be doing, we'd get him on minimum wage and at the very least he would be good competition for Duke.
If he doesn't work out we don't lose much, if he does we get a fee from on selling. (Unless another HAL club poaches him)
Who knows him and Duke might be a magic striker team??

Since I started following the Mariners, we have only been big in the scoring department when we've had 2 up front: Sasho & Matty, Sasho & Aloisi, Macca & Matty, Macca & Duke (with Macca being the scorer & Duke being the nuisance value getting defenders away from Macca). Matty was scoring until Sasho fell out of favour then couldn't get anything on his own. Even Matty & Big Mac weren't abysmal. We don't seem to have the quality to play one up, so let's bite the bullet & play 2. We've got to try to put scoreboard pressure on our opponents; when they're trying to chase the game they make more mistakes, when we have to chase the game they can just sit back & take things easy like AU last Sunday.

One up just isn't working but i guess it will depend on Matty been fit unless we can grab someone else. Dukey for me, is doing way too much work and must be exhausted by the time he gets a chance to shoot. Love his workrate but you wouldn't see Berisha, Janko, or Smeltz doing that.

He's earning nearly AUD4 million a season. If we're penny pinching over whether to play in Gosford, we're definitely not touching Cahill.

apart from when we won the league playing one up front right?

We couldn't afford Neville Cahill the centre back of the West whoop Whoop Wobbegongs let alone Super Timmy
