Where did you hear this? The individual do you mean wilsos current club which is the bluebells don't no what is happening? My money is that he won't do it. They will look somewhere else I've herd from a few people that Gumps has been mentioned. Sounds more realistic then wilso TBH
Gumps is the one I heard mentioned. I've spoken to a few today who've heard the same so guess the rumour is spreading. Hearing Kahibah might be ground sharing with Charlestown whilst their new ground at Gateshead and/or Kahibah Oval gets redone. Interesting times ahead regardless.
Grumps to Maitland, thompsons best mate
Finnally admitting they got it wrong is the best thing that could of happened at Weston all year. While I don't hold my breath of the Thorntons and Brock Oakley rushing back at least piggo should be able to attract the quality of player that should lead to a better season.
The only thing that could top this off is if he takes his son with him. Yes Nathan has served the club well for a long time. But as a 'leader' the continual abuse of the younger players all year to the point they refuse to even sit on the bench is just not on.
Onwards and upwards from here we can only hope!
I've heard Nathan Morris will be playing in town next season. Only leaves Turnbull, McDermott, Sneddon and Thompson from 2014. Piggo should be able to mould the squad as he sees fit.
"Robbie is leaving as well". That was probably the first question asked at the interview.
Sadly when you've followed a club that's been consistently successful, at the right end of the ladder anyway, for a long time it can become a sore point. Clubs shouldn't go from being so close to winning the grand final, to not winning a game in over 12 months as quickly as they have. The committee is to blame from getting it wrong from the start. And then the coach has also made poor decisions to go along with it.
And look how that turned out. BK got chosen in the NNSW side.
I also don't think it was Piggos sole decision for him to leave Maitland. BK, Justin Broadley and Matt Stonham left all within the same week. So the club lost their 2 club captains and one of their stalwarts within a couple of days of each other. Then 2 committee members walked away. Now Maitland have parted ways with their coach before the end of the season and have had further club officials step down or be replaced. There's something seriously going on in that camp and I'd love to know what.
too many soccer moms at magpies , simple .
Results today?
Hearing rumours that Gary Wand of Weston is leaving and taking his sons, Nathan Morris, Robbie Turnbull and BK???
Lol
So pretty much Piggo agreed to come back if those guys were pushed out.
No player is bigger than the club they play for.
The club has been around for over 100 years, and these guys weren't there then. They'll be right. Piggo showed them what he was capable of.
I can see the how there would be conflict between the majority of those blokes and Piggo . But the whole Piggo not rating BK confuses me, there's no doubt BK is one of the top keepers in the comp and he doesn't seem like the 'thinks he's bigger than the club' kind of blokes. At what point do two adults put away prejudices for the benefit of a club with deep history and pride.
FT: Olympic 1-0 Jets Youth. Goal by Spencer who caught the Jets CB on the wrong side from a simple ball forward before smashing it across the keeper from close range.
Very closely contested game, both sides wasting good chances to score. Ireland and Bailey forced off with injury, but managed to hang on.
Decent showing by Jets youth, Waller whipped in some dangerous crosses from the left, with one being put over the top from 2 yards out in the first minute of the second half. Best performers for Jets were Clark (GK) who pulled off some stunning saves, Pawiak rock solid in midfield and young Thurgate was also quality next to him at the base of the midfield.
What were the other results today
3-2 Maitland over Weston.
3 screamers from Maitland.
1 own goal and a pen taken by Morris for Weston.
Good to see a good close round. Every game decided by a single goal. Seeing some of the blow outs over the year aren't a good look for the comp.
Jaffas beat Buds 2-1
Any further word on coaching movements for NPL?
Saw this on Facebook, Thoughts?
Newcastle Legends Charity Football Match:
A match that brings together Newcastle’s sporting community.
Newcastle Legends match will be played by past Newcastle United NSL legends & past Newcastle Jets legends.
This game is all about bringing the Newcastle football community together, raising money for a great charity and getting Newcastle excited about for the upcoming A-League season.
I know the town will be excited to see some of the old boys pull on the boots one last time, there is no one better to show what it means to play for Newcastle.
We would like to donate a % of the takings from the day to the Mark Hughes Foundation. He is a Newcastle Legend and a great bloke, very much a worthy charity.
We would like to bring both sporting teams together for this day. It would be amazing for the Newcastle community to sell out the stadium with Newcastle fans from both codes.
Ideally the game would be played before the main game on the 9th of October.
If that isn’t available then maybe a week before the season kicks off.
I’ve spoken to a few ex-players and they are very excited to be a part of this, I hope the Newcastle Jets let us make this happen as it will only bring positives for the team and the town of Newcastle.
NNSW / Newcastle are sending a team to the Inaugural National Indigenous Football Championships in Nowra in November .... long overdue IMO. Great idea
Would certainly recommend watching the replay of Thompson and Heffernan's goals for Maitland yesterday. Screamers.
Beauty of BarTv is being able to watch the replays of these games whenever you like. Maitland all over Weston in the first half and took the foot off the pedal in the second half. Great game for the neutral
Was just show a link saying Dean Heffernan to player/coach Maitland next year with Matt Thompson to player/ asst coach. Reece Thompson to stay on as an assistant.
