Start of Pre-season Training

[c0yle]

i read today that Verbeek has  is getting heff to train with the ollyroos

 

[RADINHO]

FourFourTwo have posted a few pictures of the new boys, MacAllister and Elrich training with us today for the 1st time:

they must have either cahnged the numbers around, or dropped mcandrew cause mcandrew was #4 last season. anyone got a reason

No it obviously shows we don't have a Barcelona budget where they can afford to throw their kit  to the crowd let alone the mariners cant even get the numbers right so i guess with the training they can't afford to get things right lol.

McAndrew is pretty young as is Redmayne. Maybe these two will drop to the Youth League and we will sign a couple of 20 year olds that are a bit closer to being ready. Playing each week would be better for Ian and Andrew at this stage than being permanently on the bench. 

 

[skilbeck]

they could play for the youth squad without being included as overage anyway. One of them would probably be captain IMO

 

[Ursus]

Good to see Dylan do well with the beep test. I still think condition was his big problem at Spirit.

 

[Kareem]

did you check his undies too?

Well Elrich has White skins. What a tosser.

hmmm...interesting with white skins...Hazem El Masri wears skins for religious reasons (as do I but no1 has heard of me )- i wonder whether Elrich does as well for same reasons?
I personally wear black (training and refereeing) and blue (playing coz ourimbah is blue) skins

 

[skilbeck]

I presume it would be for religious reasons. But is it pretty common and standardised for muslims to wear skins in sport or is it one of those things that is followed by some and not others?

For interest read this paragraph- for summary see end of my post!
followed by some and not others...its an ambigous area as it not as publicised as what women have to cover. All scholars agree men have to cover naval to knees to everyone except wife (but medical reasons is ok...)
I was talking to an educated muslim and he said shorts to your knees are ok (eve if they flap)- but it is very hard finding them that long so thats why I wear skins.
In Australia skins are worn by Utai and El Masri (2 biggest muslims in NRL) and who knows maybe A.Elrich will wear em this season like Kwassie does (anyone knwo why he wears skins?)
Tarek doesnt wear them



Basically short shorts need skins (hence why muslim NRL players do wear them)(football shorts are longer than NRL shorts) (we are meant to cover naval to knee)

Mariners website still have Dylan as player -1 and Ian as player 4.  Elrich in 14 and toted number 21??

Confusing to say the least... Surely than can adjust the website to correspond?

 

[Don]

I think that Elrich is number 21 as that was jersey that was given to him when he signed, McAndrew will remain as number 4 and Macallister will probably take number 10 or 11 when Browns contract expires. Caceres will probably then take number 14 and Simon may take 10 or 11 which are considered to be more traditionally attacking than 2. This would leave the last 2 people to sign for us numbers 2 and 6.

McAndrew will remain as number 4

McAndrew is not under contract for the coming season. So provided he gets offered another contract with the 1st team then yes he would keep 4, but if he drops to youth he will probably lose it

Given the lack of chances he was given and even when on the bench never used obviously shows that Lawrie feels he's not ready for first team action........regular game time in the youth league may be the best option for him.

 

[Ted]

McAndrew will remain as number 4

but if he drops to youth he will probably lose it

I'd say this is the most likely outcome. He'd have more game time in the youth squad.

Probaby for the performance enhancement.

Is there a perticular reason they wear white?

would this mean we are likely to sign 2 people into the senior squad to replace himself and Redmayne moving into the junior squad?

i dunno why he would wear white...he should travel down to rebel sports get XXL bike shorts- Track'n'field brand (i got navy blue XL for myself)
it even looks weird
mayb he doesnt own a pair of blue...He used to have yellow

Yes, i think that maybe even more than 2 with some players coming off contract very soon....
