    We gave him a 2yr contract after a 5 touch, 0 tackle & 1 goal (from a dodgy free kick) game so if we are going on precedence he will be given a 5yr contract if he does what you suggest.

    Ive said a number of times but I really hope Matthew Panos get a game before the season is out. Some posters say he could even be delisted.

    No, though I think it should be enough for him to be given opportunities to play out the season.

    If he maintains a high level through a good work rate and performs at a higher level than he's shown he can in the past then he might get another year.

    Some folk around here would be unhappy, not saying I'd be too chuffed, but if he performs then he's deserved his spot.

    Can't see it happening though.

    And that goal had an auskick amount of velocity on it.

    The guy has had 2 years to prove his worth and trying to save his arse with hard work in what has become junk time is something that should be frowned upon.

    Hasta Luego....

    Hampered by OP over the course of the preseason.

    Irrespective of that, I tend to agree with you.

    Yep.... Anyway hi-jacked this thread enough.

    Good luck to Lin... 50 bonus pts for the poster who can come up with the best nick-name paying homage to the flog that was Kim Jong-il..... Yep, anything to draw attention away from how bad a season we are having.

    Like many was a little suprised Jong got the call up, but pleasantly suprised with what he's shown in his few games, obviously needs to tidy up the kicking somewhat, but certainly goes in hard and puts his body on the line.

    From what I've seen he appears to have a great running capacity and ability to get where the ball is. That's not a bad start. He also has a pretty strong frame and leg size. He could end up a pretty powerful unit.

    Needs to spend the entire pre-season on an intensive program to improve his kicking penetration.
