Sign Up Now!Yes and no.. id be more worried if we had a quality striker and no one to create chances for him, we now have the opposite, chances will be creat3d and if he is a half decent striker he will score enough goals hoepfully to be a success... still have enough there to rotate options i think.... would prefer a bigger impact strikerAre we still missing a quality striker? All the pressure will be on Swibel.
Maybe Lavale will come back from CCM now?Are we still missing a quality striker? All the pressure will be on Swibel.
That's my thinking as well. Defence and midfield should be OK.Yes and no.. id be more worried if we had a quality striker and no one to create chances for him, we now have the opposite, chances will be creat3d and if he is a half decent striker he will score enough goals hoepfully to be a success... still have enough there to rotate options i think.... would prefer a bigger impact striker
Isnt Cocks a striker? Or am I misremembering ?That's my thinking as well. Defence and midfield should be OK.
Its the attacking third that has me still concerned. Players like Bonada and Uchida will give you 3-5 goals each, and that is very handy. But you need a bloke who will bang in 10-15 goals a year upfront. Is Swibel that player given he' hasn't done much over the last 2 years?
Winger who you can play up front but is better on the wingIsnt Cocks a striker? Or am I misremembering ?
Then we ARE in trouble with only a single #9 who is in a bit of form slump - barely touched the ball against us in the final but to be fair Marconi really didn't get out of the midfield much.Winger who you can play up front but is better on the wing
I am hoping he is but i have my doubts! Marconi not a true reflection of him either though as others also pointed out...That's my thinking as well. Defence and midfield should be OK.

Looks like we are retaining our Australian Championship playing strip for the 2026 season.Nice to have a player called Che on the squad .. that will piss of those pesky Croats... hahahahah
But more importantly is this the new Oceania jersey style, number on the front and competition logo on the sleeve.
Looks great.

They are flying out todayGiven our first match is on Sunday, you'd assume that the team would be flying out no later than Friday to Auckland. Its only about 3 hours or so across the ditch.
Eh we DID have 8 new strips last year, can't be greedy... lolLooks like we are retaining our Australian Championship playing strip for the 2026 season.
How exciting, for NPL level players, especially the young ones, to be flying out for overseas football. What a club we are....They are flying out today
With a new suit sponsor !
Definitely one of the weaker ones. Bula would definitely be one the stronger pacific teams.Is Tahiti United meant to be one of stronger or weaker teams? Wild that you have no idea what to expect.
