HOPES GROWING FOR NABBOUT AND HOOLE COMBINATION

The Jets are hoping the red card Jason Hoffman picked up in yesterday’s friendly win over the Wanderers won’t rule him out of round one.

The defender joined his teammates today for a members forum, where the new coaching staff of Mark Jones and Clayton Zane was introduced.

Andrew Nabbout worked with Jones in Malaysia and is confident the boss can make a positive impact.

Nabbout and Andrew Hoole continue to build a strong combination in attack, both adding goals against Western Sydney to their pre-season tally.
