Wout Brama - 4

Central Coast’s dynamic Dutchies didn’t combine like they should have, and it was mainly down to an underwhelming display from Brama.

Physically he looked imposing, but technically left a lot to be desired.

Tom Hiariej - 7

Slight concerns over the diminutive midfielder’s toughness in a league as physical as this, but there’s little doubting his determination.

He was at the centre of everything good for Central Coast, nabbing an early assist and single-handedly transitioning play in the second half.

Connor Pain - 6

Neither Appiah or Pain had the quality required to break down a fairly resolute Jets defence.

Pain was more involved in the second half and should have had an assist when a motionless Brama let a cross go straight past him, but a couple of dodgy attempts on goal soured his night.

Kwabena Appiah – 5

Looked exciting early and was heavily involved in the Mariners' opening dominance but faded as quickly as he got going. Failed to really threaten Jack Duncan.

Asdrubal - 7

It took the Spaniard four minutes to open his A-League account, but he didn’t bank on his new club conceding three minutes later.

Witnessing his side collapse around him, he remained plucky, put in some physical challenges and kept trying to create opportunities, so if there’s a bright spot for disappointed Mariners fans, he’s it.

Trent Buhagiar – 6.5

Subbed on and immediately looked dangerous, but couldn’t pick a final ball.

He also fluffed a terrific late chance that Boogard deflected, but he was constantly involved and proved he hasn’t lost any pace over the winter break.

Jake Bingham - 6

At the centre of a couple of late chances that the Mariners could have converted, but he wasn’t around long enough to impose himself on the match.

Liam Rose

Less involved than Bingham, but wasn’t on long enough to give a fair rating.
