Market

Lucas Mauragis asks to leave Central Coast Mariners

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Central Coast Mariners turn down Waitakere United for Bailey Brandtman

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

A row about effort at Central Coast Mariners

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Christian Theoharous was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Loan watch

Jai Ajanović wants to come home

“I did not go to Wellington Phoenix to sit and watch. I want to come back to Central Coast Mariners and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

The dugout

Lucas Mauragis asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Central Coast Mariners put Bailey Brandtman up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Bailey Brandtman may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

The market said no: Christian Theoharous stays put

Central Coast Mariners opened the door and nobody walked through it. So Christian Theoharous stays — listed, trained, and available — while both sides mark the days to January on the same calendar.

Squad

Kristian Popovic has settled at Central Coast Mariners

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

The dugout

The manager comes out for Kaito Taniguchi

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Kaito Taniguchi has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

Transfer targets

Central Coast Mariners rebuffed over Yaya Dukuly

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. NK Celje have kept their man, and Central Coast Mariners go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A falling-out at Central Coast Mariners

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

Market

One of our own: Bailey Webb joins the Central Coast Mariners first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Bailey Webb is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Central Coast Mariners promote Tim Crawford from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tim Crawford has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Jason Gray joins the Central Coast Mariners first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jason Gray is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Daniel Craig joins the Central Coast Mariners first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Craig is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
