Mauragis was unable to play for the Phoenix during the Australia Cup as he was cup-tied from games he played for the Jets at the back end of last season. “Every player wants to play. Sutts was injured so he started the season and I’m sure he would’ve liked to have continued. “But now Sutts will come in, and if Sutts does well then Lucas knows he will have to fight to get his spot back again. ” McGarry will be one of three familiar faces in the Jets lineup with two other Phoenix players, Reno Piscopo and Jaushua Sotirio, also heading to Newcastle in the off-season. Sotirio is regarded as the fastest player in the A-League Men and Talay said the Phoenix would have to be alert to his threats in transition, having torched Perth Glory to set up a late winner in their last match.
“Unfortunately for him he didn’t travel with the group. He’ll get some minutes with the reserve team but won’t be able to play this game. “There’s only 26 rounds in the A-League so there’s no point sending a player on loan if he’s not going to get game time, but unfortunately for Lucas it didn’t work out. “I think he will be available for the game [against the Jets] in Wellington, but not this game. ”WELLINGTON PHOENIXVersatile Wellington Phoenix defender Tim Payne adjusting to right-back role. Talay said Mauragis was gutted to miss the return home, especially as it had now opened the door for Sutton to reclaim his starting spot after an injury ruled him out of the season opener against Adelaide.
Mauragis is on loan from Newcastle Jets, who the Phoenix meet at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Saturday night. It is the Phoenix’s first away trip of the new season and they are seeking their first win after back-to-back draws at home against Adelaide United and Central Coast Mariners. Mauragis joined the Phoenix on a season-long loan in a bid to get more minutes after New Zealand international James McGarry went in the other direction and signed a permanent contract with the Jets.
