    or you could use it as a good opportunity to express your grievances and let them know what they're getting right.

    Ruben Zadkovich to sign new deal with A-League side Newcastle Jets

    NEWCASTLE Jets have moved to put a tumultuous week behind the club by re-signing in-demand midfielder Ruben Zadkovich to a new two-year deal.

    The Daily Telegraph has been told the Jets will formally announce his re-signing Monday with Zadkovich to also be handed the long-term captaincy following the shock departure of former skipper Jobe Wheelhouse last week.

    Wheelhouse stunned teammates on Thursday by quitting immediately after being told it was unlikely he would be offered a new contract by the Jets at the end of the season.

    Zadkovich has been one of the A-League's form players over the past two months and it's understood he knocked back a number of offers from rival clubs and ignored interest from abroad to stick with the Jets.

    Jets CEO Robbie Middleby refused to confirm or deny an agreement with Zadkovich had been reached but has maintained for the past few weeks he was confident the midfielder would stay.

    Zadkovich's announcement will come as a boost to the Jets ahead of next weekend's clash with Western Sydney after they were fortunate to get out of Saturday night's showdown against Sydney FC with a 2-2 draw.

    The draw left Sydney still languishing outside the top six.

    An 89th-minute penalty from Ryan Griffiths, his second spot kick of the game, denied the Sky Blues a deserved victory after they had dominated the second half despite having a host of stars including Brett Emerton, Jason Culina and Joel Griffiths missing.

    Alessandro Del Piero was again dominant for the Sky Blues, scoring his side's opening goal, his 10th of the season, while youngster Blake Powell found the back of the net from a tap-in in the second half to put his side up 2-1.

    Jets coach Gary van Egmond admitted his side would need to find plenty of improvement if they are to match it with Western Sydney.

    "It won't matter who we play next week, we have to improve," he said. "The character of the team is fantastic as you can see but performance-wise, we have to get better and there's no better opportunity than to go down to Western Sydney with their away game at Campbelltown."
    Just hope they didn't go all Topor on his contract, a balanced approach to our salary cap is needed, after all apparently with all egg's untested kids we are already having cap issues.

    I find it difficult to believe we have cap issues when other teams have far more high profile players and we have so much youth

    i was under the impression we had heaps of cap space, as gve was so brilliant in his negotiations that he got all his untested kids on cheap wages?

    would have thought the likes of brillante & taggart combined wouldn't even equate to topor's wages tbh
    OK

    "We have to work within the salary cap" has always been the Jets' favourite sound bite, no matter who owns them, who manages them, or who coaches them. Drives me f*cking mad. You would think we were the only club in the league affected by the cap, honestly...

    REBORN defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley said on Wednesday that his decision to leave Newcastle for Western Sydney Wanderers had allowed him to realise his potential as a footballer.NH

    keep your shirt on muscles, it's a light humour opinion piece in the weekend section of a regional paper, not the new york times

    I'm with namwob on this one Q, that article from Dillon shows how low he has finally gone. He based the first half of his piece on one very very vague quote from GVE. Bags out the Jets, bags out the a-league and then says he'd gladly be part of any rort. I'm well aware it's supposed to be light-hearted but I'm not seeing the humour, even a little bit. He's turned it from tongue in cheek to just a blatant assault not only on the Jets but Australian football in general.

    Use the comment section to point that dillon is right, the a-league is ripe for the picking, close to asia, low wages etc etc...... AND then point out that as football has not been implicated in the recent crime comission's reports that all involved in the game, from FFA, Clubs, coaches, and players should all be congratulated.

    Nix have signed Corey Gameiro on loan till seasons end. For those that have no idea who that is, he is the guy who scored ALL of our goals at the U19 AFC championship.

    "If I was a match-fixer, I would have targeted the A-League as the perfect vehicle for my evil get-rich-quick scheme."

    If I was a sniper, I would target fat slow pricks like RD as a perfect dope correction tool to get my eye in....and do the world a favour at the same time.
