Will Byrne puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Newcastle Jets, and it is not being withdrawn.

Samuel Aduragbemi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Newcastle Jets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Dominik Schäfer was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Newcastle Jets dressing room was either.
