    Do I want a player who scores goals but turns the ball over or a guy who cannot score at all but keeps possession a lot more? He is one on one, GVE would no doubt have him turn and play the ball all the way back to the keeper but I think it's good to just see him go at them. I can deal with the turn over, we will turn it over within the next 5 seconds anyway!

    So far Hoole hasn't been able to score goals at A-league level and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Hooles biggest problem is that he tries to go around and through A-league opposition like they are the same standard as he played against as a junior, NPL, and NYL player.

    actually what was that shit passing back to the keeper to put him under unnecessary pressure towards the later part of yesterday's match?? if we are going to do that kind of shit with any regularity this season it will not take the opposition very long to work it out and punish us for it (or should I have posted this in the Jones out thread... )

    Violent conduct in a match may be treated differently.

    Only if you are Victory, City or Smurfs. For every other club they count. Don't lose sight of those really running this league.

    I believe that if you get a Sent off in a trial match the suspension will be served in a competition game whether it be cup or league. NTS will serve his suspension in the first match of the season.

    Keepers neck and neck blah blah blah

    Big news in this piece is the Chinese dude that ran around with us on tour is signing.

    Biggest concern "he ticks all the boxes for the owner"

    What about ticking boxes the footballing department wants ticked.

    I'm thinking Miller saw the writing on the wall and engineered a quick exit.

    Not only that, he was described as "decent". I'd want better than decent from a Visa player

    Its the Jets.

    Do you need reminding of all of our previous imports? We rarely get it right.

    This season looks to be another cluster****. I'll be very impressed if we come 6th and lose in the first week of the finals.
