Match

No end in sight to Newcastle Jets's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Newcastle Jets has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Joe Lolley signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joe Lolley commits to Newcastle Jets for another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Newcastle Jets

James Delianov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Lyle Chatburn gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Lyle Chatburn has just signed for Newcastle Jets, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Joe Lolley falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Newcastle Jets come up short against Sydney FC

Sydney FC left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Senzelumusa Sibiya

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Harrison Beath left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market

A long bet from Newcastle Jets on Lyle Chatburn

He is 20, and nobody at Newcastle Jets signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

In brief
