Valere Germain scooped the POTM in the match against Newcastle Jets at Newcastle International Sports Centre the other day. He left quite a mark with a goal and an assist and even remained on the pitch throughout the entire game. We trust he will prove our essential Macarthur vs Wellington Phoenix prediction correct.

Second player to watch: Ariath Piol

Striker Piol is getting more minutes lately. He has scored three goals for his team so far and we believe his chances of taking part in the last matchday #15 game are looking very good.
