Cold
Jamie Maclaren: After starting the season hot, Maclaren went nearly unnoticed the game against the Victory. Though he had two shots for the game he struggled to trouble the Victory defence and will be looking to bounce back and rediscover his hot form.
Newcastle Jets: Didn’t put up much of a fight in the second half when the going got tough. The Jets managed to stay competitive with the Glory, but once the Glory got on top there was no stopping the floodgates which resulted in their heaviest defeat of the season, losing 6-2.
