Scum are putting together a decent squad
Agree, also they only have about 2 spots to fill so the majority of the team will be training together for a good 3 months. I expect them to be a real challenge come round 1 and they have AU first up in the FFA Cup who if they don't start recruiting soon will have to use half an academy team against the Jets just to put a team on the park. Whilst ROD scored last night he still missed a few hitting the wood work apparently, they better get used to that.

They managed to dump Kokko as well so have another spot for a foreigner.
Snake scored last night in first trial as well.
Think they will score a few but defence will be interesting. If topor has a good year so will they

And they are linked to Nathan Burns. If they get him they will have some firepower.

Newcastle Jets CEO Lawrie McKinna has confirmed the club will chase another ‘quality’ attacker.

Newcastle Jets CEO Lawrie McKinna has confirmed the club will chase another ‘quality’ attacker to support Irish striker Roy O’Donovan.
KOKKO EXIT OPENS DOOR

*The club parted ways with out of favour Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko on Tuesday, with the former RoPS attacker signing with Hong Kong club Eastern FC.

*The giant striker played just 13 games in his lone season at the Jets, scoring one goal.

*Newcastle now have three visa spots available with O’Donovan and midfielder Wayne Brown the only foreign players on the club’s books.

JETS EYEING ATTACKING TALENT

“It doesn’t necessarily need to be a visa player. If we can find an Aussie player, then so be it,” Jets CEO Lawrie McKinna told the Newcastle Herald.

“I know everybody is going to chuck up Nathan Burns, and that would be lovely, but obviously that’s not in the budget at the moment. We’ve spoken to him, but there are a few offers coming in from overseas clubs, and if that happens, we’re no chance.”

“Dimi [Petratos] can play up there. There are other boys who can do a job, but we really need another target player, somebody attacking.

“Whoever comes in has to be able to come in and feature in that team, either up front with Roy O’Donovan or alone himself, not just a back-up. We’ll be able to go for a player who is quality enough to be starting.”

NEWCASTLE’S ATTACKING WOES

*The Jets have struggled in the front third in recent seasons and were the league’s second lowest-scoring team (28 goals) last campaign, ahead of only Adelaide United (25).

*Only Adam Taggart (16) and Joel Griffiths (12) have managed to net 10 goals or more in a single season for the Jets.

*The club have signed former Mariners striker Roy O’Donovan and versatile attacker Dimitri Petratos to boost their attacking output.

Before anybody starts quaking in their boots Weston are coming last in the NNSW NPL and are averaging more than 2 goals against over 15 rounds. We are still 3 months away from the start of the comp and the Jets squad looks fairly meh with Ernie only looking at 2 more players. At this point both those signings would have to be stunning for them to make the finals. Ernie has already said that Nathan Burns is not in their budget so stellar is unlikely and another year of mediocrity for the Jets looks promising.

TBH - I'd like them to be in contention for the six with us a lot higher going into the final round. Then we can really enjoy thrashing them in the final round.

Heskey’s advice: try the Hyundai A-League

England international played two seasons in the Hyundai A-League with Newcastle Jets.
Friday, 11 August 2017 -
Staff Writer
Former Newcastle Jets marquee Emile Heskey says he would encourage any player to try the Hyundai A-League and was left impressed by the standard of the competition.
Heskey played for two seasons at the Jets, from 2012 to 2014, scoring 10 goals in 42 appearances for the Hunter club.

While the ex-Liverpool and Aston Villa striker admits he struggled with the heat of an Australian summer, he was glowing in his appraisal of the Hyundai A-League.

In the season’s first episode of AskFans on YouTube, Heskey says he would “100%” encourage more players to come and play in Australia.

“I’ve been asked a couple of times by players and I’ve got nothing but good things to stay about it,” he said.

Check out the full Heskey video here

“The standard was really high as well. The hurdle you would have to get over is the weather and getting used to that weather.

“I was used to waking up in 30 degrees every morning. But whenever anyone ever asks me I always have good things to say about it.”

Heskey retired in 2016 after playing two seasons with Bolton Wanderers in League One.
