Round 2 team update

Transcript

00:00Welcome to round two in the Newcastle Jets' clash against Macarthur down at Campbeltown

00:05Stadium. A couple of, a bit of team news to go with the Newcastle Jets. Ben Gibson, the

00:09young striker who made his debut off the bench last week, he comes into the starting side

00:13instead of Justin Vidic in the only change to the team that went down 1-0 to Melbourne

00:17City. Coach Rob Stanton has resisted the temptation to bring Callum Timmons straight back into

00:24the starting side. He comes back from a rib injury on the bench in place of Will Dobson.

00:29The other one is Clayton Taylor who's been pushing hard for a starting berth, but again

00:32he will do his best work off the bench against a Macarthur team fresh from a 6-1 thumping

00:37of berth glory. They've gone with the same team that did that job at home in round one.

00:43The big danger for the Jets again will be, of course, the two imports, Jermaine Vallieri

00:48and Jacques Ellis. Both of those scored braces in the Jets. 4-3 loss to Macarthur in the

00:55Australia Cup game in August. Again, the big news out of Newcastle. Ben Gibson in for

00:59his starting debut. Played off the bench. He's a young boy from Arpia, Leicester. Northern

01:03Beaches kid in his first season with the Jets. Caught the eye off the bench last week. He'll

01:08be given the job of trying to get behind, of course, with Lachie Rose being still injured

01:11with a hip injury. So, once again, Jets v Macarthur. About an hour until kick-off and
