MORE PACE? MORE CREATIVITY? HOW PAPAS IS TRYING TO FILL HIS PENHA HOLE
Head coach: Arthur Papas
Stadium: McDonald Jones Stadium
2021-22 position: 9th
Highly rated coach Papas brought entertaining football to not only the Hunter but the A-Leagues, though it wasn’t enough to secure finals football in his first season.
Commentator’s call
Simon Hill
“They’ve lost Daniel Penha and all his creativity but I think Arthur Papas has made some astute signings. Rene Piscopo is one key signing who I think can replace some of Penha’s creativity. Brandon O’Neil is a key acquisition to provide stability and control in midfield.
“And last season, they conceded way too many goals. Carl Jenkinson is part of the answer to that, giving that experience defensively along with Jordan Elsey and Matt Jurman in the centre.
Papas has also brought in another Georgian, Beka Dartsmelia to keep Beka Mikeltadze company. I can see them in the top six.
Signings: Brandon O’Neill (Perth Glory), Reno Piscopo (Wellington Phoenix), Trent Buhagiar (Sydney FC), Jaushua Sotirio (Wellington Phoenix), Rory Jordan (Macarthur FC), Mark Natta (Western Sydney Wanderers), James McGarry (Newcastle Jets), Carl Jenkinson (Nottingham Forest), Daniel Stynes (Perth Glory), Callum Timmins (Perth Glory), Beka Dartsmelia (Lokomotivi Tbilisi)
Departures: Dylan Murnane, Taylor Regan, Valentino Yuel, Jordan O’Doherty, Olivier Boumal, Savvas Siatravanis, Mario Arques, Brandon Wilson, Samuel Silvera (Central Coast Mariners), Riley Warland, Daniel Penha (Daegu FC)
Re-signings: Archie Goodwin, Michael Weier, Jason Hoffman, Lucas Mauragis (loaned to Wellington)
