Nick Montgomery, the coach, talked about the 26-year-old on Saturday.

"He's a massive player for us, him and Marcos have got a fantastic relationship going.

"... He's put himself out there, he wants to play for the Socceroos.

"That's a big reason why he came out here and on current form, again, I'm not the head coach but you've definitely got to be looking at players like him that can give the country that spark."
