Mariners v fibro dwelling, coal dust sniffing, mouth breathers

Should be good on the weekend though

Will need a beer jacket, around 13 degrees predicted for kick off time

Seems like no serious ligament damage for Hall but not sure how long to recover. Still pretty sore

That's good news at least. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Ailing Jets battling illness ahead of final A-League hit-out with arch rivals Central Coast​

Jets coach Arthur Papas is unsure who will be fit for Saturday's clash with the Mariners on the Central Coast after illness has swept through the squad.

More than half of the squad which thumped Macarthur 3-0 in Campbelltown on Sunday had been struck with sickness.

By Wednesday night's final home game of the season, in which Newcastle came from behind to draw 1-1 with Western United, most players had been affected.
It prompted several changes to the starting XI and match-day 18 and Papas said post-match on Wednesday that Jets staff would spend the following two days assessing players before a quick turnaround to face arch rivals Central Coast away on Saturday.

....But who Papas will have at his disposal on Saturday is not yet known. That includes star midfielder Daniel Penha, who has served a two-game suspension and has also been linked to Sydney FC for next season.
"I'm not really sure at the moment," Papas said when asked if Penha would start against the Mariners.
"He's also been quite ill throughout the week. So, even though he was suspended, he probably wouldn't have fronted up for any of those games anyway amongst a group of guys who are all battling the same thing. We'll just see how everyone pulls up.
"We're hopefully at the back end of it. Symptom-wise everyone is a bit fluey and just not feeling great and energy very low, so just trying to get bodies on the park at the moment."

They'd better not give it to our players just before finals!

Good point Iron Bark, still amazes me how many people are shaking hands and in confined spaces.

Great if you’ve had covid or a virus but a lot of people are also up to having it a second time, etc.

If I was Monty and the team I would be instructing fist bumps only and if going to hit an opposition players make sure it’s closed fist and not a slap.

Than sanitise…

So don't "Will Smith" anyone?
Maybe feet first just to be safe.

 

[crock]

hopefully the game goes ahead if its covid then the game could be in serious doubt

Unless you're the goat ? and your escorting Penha down the tunnel

Any players who tested positive from Monday (assuming covid) shouldn’t be available for selection this weekend. It would be massively negligent of the APL to allow us to be exposed if that’s what’s going on.

 

[Kilsin]

They forfeit if they can't field a side, no more covid postponements mate

 

[Tevor]

Could just be BS and they are playing games so we lose focus.

I think it's good practice to sanitise any time you come in to contact with anyone from the north.

Arent you from the North?

Offensive.

Unless you class Green Point as north

North of Lisarow innit

Tell him he's dreaming! I reckon 9k and that'd be awesome. More likely to be 6 or 7 but I'm also feeling optimistic, people love a freebie! Might not be that many kids though for a late game.

Mrs tb has 87 most will be kids

Alcoholic poisoning probably from celebrating a rare win this season.
Papas is ,of course foxing and not giving any information away about his team....
