Tom Hiariej - 8      

Consistent, smooth passing, brilliant movement and a fantastic final ball, still questionable physicality, but he’s a calming influence on the Central Coast.

Daniel De Silva - 8

He gets sleeker every week – he’s still young and not infallible – but the potential is certainly there for something great.      

Connor Pain - 7.5

Very quiet in the first half, and not for the first time this season went missing for long periods.

Redeemed himself by slicing a brilliant finish into the top corner to give the Mariners the lead, and almost belted in a second minutes later.

Asdrúbal - 6

Looked intent on causing problems, but didn’t see enough of the ball.

Andrew Hoole - 7       

Inconsistent set pieces but looked dangerous going forward, and looks to be reigniting some lost potential. Got an assist but it was all Pain’s glory.

Kwabena Appiah - 7

Immediately promising and provided a brilliant run where he easily evaded Thomas, but missed an open goal. Still top marks for effort. 

Josh Bingham - N/A

Not on long enough to give a fair rating
