ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
He's got another 2 yrs after this one?Unfortunately I can see DDS as a natural successor to brosque. Would be nice to lock him into a longer contract.

Okon
Pearce, Rowles and Wales all playing NPL this season when not required in the A League. That will give all of them valuable game time and also indicates that Okon has them all in his plans in the near future.At this stage of the season it is obvious that Pearce, Bingham, Liam and Josh struggle for game time under Paul.
Josh has had a good career, he has a job with the Mariners and some other business interests. At this stage you would think it would be unlikely that he gets another contract ( though being on site with the Mariners may mean he gets turned to as an injury replacement).
Liam seems to be behind both Kye (when fit) and Posco at CB and Melling at HM. Unless he can get game time and show he can control a game I think we may lose him. Seems a nice kid, and still very young, but for his own sake at this stage of his development he needs to be playing.
Bingers with only 84 minutes for the season has had no chance to get any confidence.
Pearce is similar. From what I hear he came late to the role of keeper which means he is already behind the pack. He needs to play and he looks to be a distant third in a position where realistically we should only have 2 keepers.
The three younger players in particular have to consider what to do come the end of the season. They may not be offered new contracts, but even if they are, they should consider very carefully whether sitting on the bench or not even making the squad is the right thing for them at this stage of their careers.
If Rose Sr does go I consider Kye more of the CB. LB is often a difficult spot to fill so we need to quickly find at least one and probably two left backs.Jack Kuipers may turn out to be the backup - but we need someone as first choice
Is Kekeris in the NPL team as well?Pearce, Rowles and Wales all playing NPL this season when not required in the A League. That will give all of them valuable game time and also indicates that Okon has them all in his plans in the near future.
No she talking about NPL2 which kicks off this weekend - we play Sunday nightDid you mean NYL? Lachie is the only one of the three in the Academy side and he is at the top end of the age scale.
With respect shouldn't this sort of discussion take place --> https://www.ccmfans.net/community/threads/ccma-2018-academy-npl-season.6109/
I agree since it was taken off track. My original point was relating to the three players ( Wales, Pearce and Rowles) and where they stood in relation to the first team. They all played in the NPL side which drew 2-2 with Rydalmere on Sunday.With respect shouldn't this sort of discussion take place --> https://www.ccmfans.net/community/threads/ccma-2018-academy-npl-season.6109/
I reckon your there with that list. I'd probably add Powell into the list of squad purely because he can finish.KEEP. 1 Yr.
