Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

Interesting to see Farrell plays golf right handed but is predominantly left footed

I’m the same (but opposite). Predominantly (solely) right footed, bat left handed at cricket (though bowl right handed), and can play golf either left or right handed - equally as terrible as each other.

Apparently with bat/club sports, batting ass about is better technically because your strong arm is the control arm.

I think a lot comes down to who you learn from. If you see everyone else doing it right handed that’s what you learn. Anything writing or precision I’m left handed but kick, throw etc with the right:

That's me too, bat left in baseball, golf and cricket and throw right-handed - although I can switch hit but not as well.

Exactly the same as me, left footed soccer right hand golf

Mitch Langerak has been in career-best form at Japanese club Nagoya Grampus, but has been omitted from Australia’s 26-man squad for Qatar - while Central Coast Mariners pair Garang Kuol and Jason Cummings have made the cut.

Fark hope that’s true

 

[Coastalraider]

Wow - imagine having 3 CURRENT Socceroos… thats a tidy sum for the club as well.

 

[shipwreck]

I've seen people reporting cummings is not in too. Hope it's the former

 

[shipwreck]

Wow, so 3 Mariners confirmed in the squad.

Do we get some financial bonus for this?

Massive. I believe full freight for Garang and Jason, 50% for Vuka as he only just arrived, but also 50% for Kye as he was with us for the qualifiers. Big coin. Huge for the club.

Oh so it's like a development fee of sorts?

 

[Coastalraider]

Officially I believe it’s a club compensation payment. FIFA Has allocated $300mill for club compensation, I have heard a few numbers but well into the 6 figures per head seems a common theme.

last World Cup a league teams earned $1.5mill total for club compensations - and we have not only more current a league players represented than any other a league team, but also get a cut of Kye. Huge.

I believe that each club get USD$10,000 per player, per day in the tournament including the week preparation. Not sure on the former players (i.e. Kye) who don't player for us any more but did during the qualifications.

Fabulous news for our lads. Cummings and Kuol very likely to get minutes also.

With three games in quick succession they both will definitely get some game time.

 

[Allreet?]

Given they're our two most potent attacking options, I think they'll both play at least three games.

'I used to cut the grass at Wembley!': Nine months that changed Jason Cummings' life

Jason Cummings is in Australia's World Cup squad. The Scotland-born striker has endeared himself to so many since landing Down Under, where he has provided plenty of highlights and banter. KEEPUP looks at the player behind the mask.
