8 Days - 3 Games: We Need Wins Away

With a few too many defeats after a great start to our second season, they need at least 2 wins out of the 3 away to get back into the top half of the ladder. With the adding of Pete Fowler, the new Sports Scientist/ Fitness Coach replacing Alan McCall (whom went to Liverpool FC for Sports Scientist job), the 8 days away with, 3 games within, it will be tough on the youngsters. Although drawing with Victory last game, their third game in 6 days, Victory found it as tiring and warned Fury of "over-doing it". With 5 days between Phoenix and Sydney, there's only 2 3 days before the Mariners game. 

Fury leave Townsville without our new additions to the Olyroos team, Chris Payne and Isaka Cernak, and now they are without Eugene Sseppuya due to a visa issue.

NEWS JUST IN!!! Paul Ifill may need to miss this game due to a strain in his Groin.
