Mariners have signed some okay imports and a back up GK from Sydney plus Powell and Appiah... who wasn't good enough out of their youth team, wasn't good enough at WSW and not good enough at Nix. Pretty sure Faty and Tavares missed a bunch of time due to injury at SFC and another year older isn't going to have their bodies in any better condition. They traded their best player from last season for a player who is the same style of player, a few years younger but with a much more punchable face.

I don't think they have really improved at all.
