Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[dibo]

Far better than being a flat track bully on the gold coast was his equaliser against the scum. That will always be fondly remembered.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Palm Beach!

Having said that, he could finish a chance, something most in our squad struggle with.

The trouble most of our squad aren't capable of creating a chance, let alone finishing one.

Little review of our young players this season:

Jacques Faty was taken off in the 76th minute of our NYL fixture against the FFA Centre of Excellence score was 3-1 when he came off with the game ending in a 4-2 win for our boys.

Mike Cockerill said in the Sydney FC vs Perth Glory game that Glory are chasing Storm very hard but that he's likely to resign with us.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Not sure he's a huge loss just quietly

Don't want to loose him but don't want to pay overs either.

Things like being named captain show a lot of respect for him, which make players happy

 

[Wombat]

He is not a Captain's arse.

He barely does is own job defensively.....how is he supossed to dictate to others.

Going forward he is one of the best in the HAL, defensively, he is one of the worst.

But its not hard to teach him his job and Okon can do that.

I see your worst defender and raise you one Mickey Neill

Perth Glory are set to release Rhys Williams, I'd take him personally.

 

[MagpieMariner]

There's no doubt a reason why they're set to release him, and having watched some highlights over the last few weeks I think I can see what that reason is. No thanks, I don't see him any better than what we've got.

 

[Wombat]

Its a tough one. On paper he is better than all of our back 4 but I watched him the other night and he was shite.

 

[shipwreck]

Players routinely underperform at Perth Glory, even Rostyn f**king Griffiths looks average over there and he was an absolute beast for us.
I have no doubt Okon could get the best out of Rhys, if he doesnt Arnold or Popovic will.

 

[pjennings]

He is actually one that MC would be interested in (probably more so than Okon). Williams was a class player before a couple of shit seasons with injury. I agree he has looked awful since he has been back - but is he fit? If we could pick him up cheaply because of underperformance then he does have the class to come good again. Good enough to sell to China for a tidy profit.

In the mean time we are light at CB and RB (and don't be surprised if we do a deal where Storm goes the other way). Storm was interested in Perth before his injury and only his girlfriend kept him here. I believe that they have now split so he may be keen to return home.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

I think Okon and Storm have bonded. A coach who you like and values you is not to be underestimated. Go to Perth and he'll be on the bench till Risdon leaves...

I rate Storm, he is very good for someone so young, we need to keep the best of these young players that we have spent so long developing... and Storm is one. Will likely be the best RB in the league inside 3 years imo.

 

[Tevor]

Williams likely to go OS IMO, still 18 months to go on contract so no chance of Glory releasing him to another HAL team. China or Mid East most likely.

Clearly still struggling with fitness issues.

Cockerill said Sydney FC are gunning for him though so I wouldn't be surprised if he went there so Perth have plenty to spend in January.
