NBN last night
http://video.nbnnews.com.au/jetsbeatvictory030319.mp4
So we’ve officially signed topor for 2 seasons, not opposed to the signing but 2 seasons might be a bit much at his age.
I actually think based on his current form this is not a bad thing, he will be able to mentor his successors and hopefully they can keep him on in an administrative role when he does hang up the boots, plus he wouldn't be the only defender in the league to reach mid-thirties before retiring and still be a decent player.
Yeah I don't mind 1 of either topor or boogs doing a 'durante' but not keen on both. Also prefer it was just topors
Yeah the club had pretty much bugger all leverage here.Quote:

Love Topor, proper Newy boy.
NBN had a Topor story tonight but not on their website at the moment, so here's a similar version off the Jets' FB page for anyone who doesn't follow FB:

We've signed Kwabena Appiah for the remainder of the season.

Blokes manager must be an absolute genius. He's state league standard not A-league.
Pretty much sums up the failure of the HAL when this bloke is on his 4th clubQuote:

apart from keeping the Member happy, it would be interesting to hear the reasons why he continually got overlooked, and how he handled it.
it might be his fault, it might be coaches, it might be something else. but it might give a good insight into why the Jets youth system has pretty much been a failure so far.
That would be fantasticQuote:

NBN Ernie awaits the panel's verdict

George on the way out?

Club probably offered George peanuts so they could pay Boogs, Jackson, and a host of other state league players more than they are worth.Quote:

NBN on loss to the scum
http://video.nbnnews.com.au/jetsmariners170319.mp4
perhaps the hardest bit about losing George is that he isn't being poached by the new franchise, instead he's going to wankerers, that's a step down even from us...
Players Remaining off Contract for next season:
Nick Cowburn
Daniel Georgievski
Roy O'Donovan
Ronald Vargas
Jair Eduardo
Lewis Italiano
Kosta Petratos
Jake Adelson
Patrick Langlois
Kwabena Appiah-Kubi
At the moment I'm keeping Cowburn only. I'm on the fence with Roy because I don't know what we can get that's better - would like us to have a look in Asia. But where do you find a 1 in 2 striker?
One thing is for certain - we need some pace and guile out wide if we're going to keep playing the way we are. However, I get a sense we are moving to 3 at the back next year.
the biggest let down for me signing Boogaard (who ive heard is a fantastic bloke BTW) and letting George walk. Doesnt George want to be a CB anyway? why not have him and Topor back there and let Ivan, Johnny K, Jackson, Hoff etc play the role out wide?Quote:

Leads the league in "thumbs up for a through ball" though. Thats gotta count for something right?Quote:

As far as I'm concerned we now have the worst defence in the league. George was the only one who could do anything useful anymore.
Topor and Boogs are getting schooled by everyone and are just getting in some lucky blocks. Jackson can't play or defend or pass well. Johnny K isn't a great defender. Great bloke, should move into CM and learn that position better. Hoffman is now a striker according to Ernie. Millar is a winger.
We are not doing shit next year with these guys in defence. We need put it out early that Topor and Boogs are moving on and spend all our money on 2 new CBs.
Ernie has done that for a few players this season. I'd be happy to never see Dimi get another free kickQuote:

How many "Evades" ?Quote:

I think it's a shame that we've resigned Boogard & Jackson, im okay with Topor staying but i would have liked to see us look for some new faces in that area
Wellington tend to play Krishna in a 4-4-2 and match him with Williams, if we signed him would people rather he play as a winger or striker?
NBN - is Ernie a doppelganger for Captain Obvious?

Not that I trust the 14 year olds that run the "Newcastle Jets Supporters" page to come up with actual news, but saw something on there this morning that Millar might be staying at the gypos due to some loophole?
Wouldn't surprise me, if any club could scam a system it would be them.
