This rule would rule out Chapo Gallaway (Hopefully) Chilli by my reckoning.Jets door opens for Musialik via youth team
By RYAN OSLAND
STUART Musialik is likely to be offered a specially created mentor playing position with the Jets youth side for the Northern NSW State League season as a step to bring him back to the A-League club full-time.
The Jets under-20 squad will be allowed to register one over-age, uncontracted player in their second season in the state league, which kicks off next month.
Northern NSW Football chief executive David Eland revealed yesterday that the mentor player rule was created with Musialik in mind after discussions with Jets counterpart Robbie Middleby in recent weeks.
Although Musialik is not certain to fill the role, Eland said state league clubs were told the 2007-08 Jets grand final winner was the reason the position had been floated.
‘‘It’s for a very specific case,’’ Eland said.
‘‘Stuart Musialik has been invited to train with them and we believe that playing in the state league would provide Stuart with a tremendous opportunity to perhaps resurrect his professional career with a professional club while playing in his home town.
‘‘I think it’s a great opportunity for the player, particularly given his standing in the game and the fact he’s a local.
‘‘I think it’s of great benefit to the league as well to have someone of his stature playing in our competition and playing with the Jets.
‘‘Even if he doesn’t resurrect his career, he will be a great player to have in amongst those young kids.
‘‘It will be of great benefit to them.’’
Musialik’s manager, Joel Grennell, said the Jets were yet to approach him or his client about the role, but he believed it could be a winner.
‘‘There’s been no mention of any sort of mentor roles for Stuey,’’ he said. ‘‘The only thing going on with him at the moment is the possibility of joining the Jets next year.
‘‘I will be coming up to Newcastle next week to catch up with Stuey and the club and see exactly where everything is at.
‘‘Hopefully they put something to us then. If that’s the case, the role would be ideal for where we are at with Stuey.’’
Musialik, a Beijing Olympian, has not played in the A-League since February 2011, when he parted ways with Sydney FC after three seasons.
The 27-year-old Adamstown junior spent 2011-12 with the Central Coast Mariners, but injuries and off-field issues ruined his season.
The Jets invited the midfielder to train with them last December, but he has spent his time since working alone on his fitness.
The mentor player concession was not tabled to clubs in original discussions, which failed to resolve guidelines for Jets youth registration.
Clubs were split on the rules, leaving the NNSWF board to decide on guidelines at their February 14 meeting.
Other changes were the allowance of three under-20 A-League contracted players to be part of the 68-strong Jets roster across the state league grades.
Those three must not be established A-League players. The definition of an established player was changed from someone who has appeared in 10 games for each of the past two seasons to one who has started in 10 in total over the past two campaigns.
The Jets will also be allowed to register an over-age goalkeeper.
Jets youth coach Clayton Zane has said Mitch Cooper, Mitch Oxborrow and goalkeeper Jack Duncan are likely to fill the A-League-contracted spots.
Eland said clubs were told of the mentor player proposal and asked for feedback. He said only two clubs were against it.
‘‘The majority of clubs were positive about mentor rule and particularly about Stuart,’’ he said.
Hooley Cooper Oxborrow Duncan would be still eligible.
Kanta would probably qualify on the lack of games aspect but is probably too old now.
Would rather see the former undisputed King St fighting champion take on the mentor role as punishment for his injury prone ness and him costing the HAL squad his services for the end of season coz he was out on the town and not doing as he was meant too.
Personally wouldn't it be more benficial if Stu Musialik was too be part of the HAL squad next season to get him too play for a Olympic/Magic/Edgy etc and get his fitness and form from there and leave one squad spot for a kid in the Jets Yoof to develop? I don't think Stu needs to necessary play under our banner to be doing what he needs to make it back to HAL
BK for the overage keeper spot???
why only Olympic/Magic/Edgy?Originally Posted by MFKS
chapman and gallaway and Kanta have played to many first team games to be considered, chilli is to old, dont understand why they need a mentor, last time egg head addressed the NBN clubs his selling point was to help the young players by playing against older players now its all about playing with a senior player, all I get out of this is that the Sate League clubs have been rail roaded and rooted up the arse again, this goes against what sate league clubs wanted, dont beleive every thing you read in the paper, Im just glad his not mentoring my son given his pass discretions
Did you miss the bit after I said this an put an etc in ???
Jets yoof - the sydney fc of state leaguelol
Jets youth should not be in nnsw state league they should be in a comp with mariners jets FC and wanderers youth as well as a nnsw 23's select side as well as a central coast 23's and a Sydney pl 23's team playing Tuesday nights this would be a lot stronger then in our state league and you don't need the rep sides just thought extra games for our younger kids
Pretty sure the state league is a long stronger then your imaginary teams,
Agree with some of your sentiment Swanky. Believe long term we WILL be playing NSWPL. Unfortunately our association with the NNSW will see us forced to go down the NNSW State League road for a while yet. At least until NNSW gets the shits with the Jets superiority over the other clubs or we get the shits playing opposition not presenting enough of a challenge
Are you serious or just doing a gee up? The Jets Youth should win almost every game they play in the state league. Remember they are playing as pro's with pro coaches and the best staff at their disposal while the state league players are all part time players with part time coaches and staff that are volunteers.
I'm not against the Jets being in the comp but I do feel the comp is being treated with a certain level of contempt by them playing in the league.
I do however think you are on the right path when you say that they should be in the NSW State League as it would test these players better but again we are treating these comp's and clubs with a certain level of contempt by just putting them in there.
You are a dead set tool mate.
Are you telling me Sydney FC, Mariners Youth and Wanderers youth are of less standard the NNSW State League yes i know the rep teams will be weaker standard but it's a chance to give them exposure
Is this totally necessary? The kid is a local and one can honestly say he always tries his hardest for our team. Am i missing something or do you have a personal issue with him?
Zico I will spell this out for you as you seem to have a hard time trying to comprehend my posts.Agree with some of your sentiment Swanky. Believe long term we WILL be playing NSWPL. Unfortunately our association with the NNSW will see us forced to go down the NNSW State League road for a while yet. At least until NNSW gets the shits with the Jets superiority over the other clubs or we get the shits playing opposition not presenting enough of a challenge
Agree with some of your sentiment Swanky>> That's me acknowledging and respecting Swanky's post. Some of his ideas I don't fully agree with but he is heading in the direction I agree with
Believe long term we WILL be playing NSWPL >> Solely my opinion that one day I envisage all HAL Clubs playing their yoofs in their respective state league comp each winter. Heart/CCM and us (NNSW thanks to the 2 feds in NSW situation) are already doing it.
Unfortunately our association with the NNSW will see us forced to go down the NNSW State League road for a while yet. HSG have a pretty tight relationship with NNSW Fed at present. I would even suggest the National team club in Newy and the local Fed have never been so closeley aligned as they are at present since the day KB was first floated. Due to this I can't see HSG sacking off the NNSW Fed and upsettiong them anytime soon to join the NSWPL
At least until NNSW gets the shits with the Jets superiority or we get the shits playing opposition not presenting enough of a challenge The Jets don't quite have a TOTAL superiority over the NNSW State League but with the development of the Jets Yoof team playing NBN and NSL the emerging Jets program and the extra teams playing State League how long do you think it will take for us to be dominating every grade of the NBN State League?? In my opinion it shouldn't take long at all for the Jets to be winning all grades with their superior techincal skills and professionalism.
What will happen then?? I can't see the clubs that make up the NNSW Fed being content to play second fiddle to the Jets every season and a great year for them would be a GF appearnace before getting thumped by the Jets Yoof. When that happens I can see self interest taking over with these clubs looking to get rid of the Jets from the NBN League as they are killing these clubs prospects of success. On the flipside to this what of the Jets ?? Turning up every game and winning convincingly against inferior opposition isn't going to assist in developing the kids long term. I can easily see HSG looking at moving us to the NSWPL to get themselves tougher challenges every week.
I have been watching these kids in the Jets Yoof team play through last years NBN program and this years NYL. Some of these kids who are gonna make up the core of the NBN Jets Yoof side have come along a long way since this time last year. Some of the new kids arriving into the Jets yoof team are better equipped to deal with the NBN League than the initial group was when they started and I am fully expecting this years side to be better equipped in the NBN State League this year than last year by a significantly larger amount. What also happens in years to come when the Emerging Jets program is in full swing and the players coming through the ranks are better than the previous age group??
End of day Newcastle Jets Yoof future in the NBN State league is short term and not long term.
Yes it is Private joke between me and Plague.
Kanta is my new whipping boy
so the yoof have got a little better playin in the state league...how about givin the local comp a little more respect and maybe others will give you a little more...and by the way Kale has been spotted and earmarked by all that matter long before you started tuggin over him.
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
Interesting comments in today's herald regarding the jets youth mentor, it's obvious the NNSWF board will do what the jets want, **** the clubs
It's only Stu, at this time in his life he'd be lucky to get a start for any of the nbn teams.
I'm not against stu, I'm against the way northern and the jets secretly come up with these ideas
