Head Coach John Aloisi has named his first 18-man squad of season 2018/19 for this Sunday’s clash against the Mariners.
Your Brisbane Roar return to Suncorp Stadium in just a matter of days to kick-start a fresh campaign against the Michael Mulvey-led Central Coast outfit.
With a number of fresh faces making their way to Brisbane over the off-season, Aloisi’s side contains six players who are in line to make their debut in orange.
Australian recruits in Adam Taggart, Stefan Mauk and Stefan Nigro have all been included in the 18-man squad, as has Danish import Tobias Mikkelsen and Spaniard Alex Lopez.
NPL QLD Golden Boot winner Dylan Wenzel-Halls is also in contention.
We are unbeaten in our last 12 meetings with the Mariners and have outscored this week’s opponents 18-3 in the last six of those fixtures.
