Mmmmm.

So Birraz for backup

Like they would drop Ryan for him anyway

Good luck to Ruon. Will be a hole to fill in the finals but couldn't be happier for him

So fkn good! Hes been epic this year, arguably the best CB on form. Gives Miller or Hall a shot too.

Well deserved. CCM back to doing what we do making Socceroos

 

[sydmariner]

No Kuol ?

No Kuol ?

They can still bring him in to the Olyroos camp if they want to.

Well done to Tongyik. It reads like he'll be able to play against Macarthur on Thursday before leaving and will likely miss the Jets game onwards. With quarantine that's the season done. Hopefully Dan Hall has the minutes in his legs to see us through. Big chance for him to step up.

In all honesty, do you think he deserves a Socceroos spot?

Hall and Miller to fill the gap, great opportunity for both of them. So happy for RT

Not sure he deserves a CCM spot TBH. Ever since he signed, he has done nothing. Rather see minutes go to a kid who is going to be here next year (possibly). They certainly cant do worse than his recent efforts

I'm drunk enough to have had to read that thrice to get the sarcasm.

Congratulations to Ruon and to CCM coaching staff.Hopefully he has a long Socceroo career.It may be that he won't get many or even minutes in these games but being in the squad is a big step and gives him the incentive to break into the starting team.

I would be great to see him partner Sains at some stage in the future.

 

[pjennings]

How strong are the Olyroos CBs? If Kye is picked maybe Ruon may get picked as an overage player to partner Kye with an eye to the longer term Socceroo future.

 

[booney]

On form absolutely. Best CB in the league atm and he shits all over McGowan.

Tongyik and Curtis Good have been the outstanding CBs this season with Rowles and McGowan just behind them. I would not say Tongyik shits all over McGowan but he offers more for the future.Wilkinson is still bloody good and reads the game so well.

Apparently he only missed eligibility by a few days so that’s rough but I can’t see Arnold taking him as an over age player despite the pairing there are better options. I think he’ll take Souttar, Deng if fit, Rowles plus another one or two depending on versatility

Yeah this. Thoroughly deserved it. Be hugely missed though.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

What overage players would you take in the Ollyroos everyone?

 

[sydmariner]

rogic, mooy, & bozanic or simon

Talking about Kuol in my post not Tongyik. Sydmariner wanted Kuol picked for the Socceroos.
