'I think we're on track for doing that and hopefully that's something officials take note of as well - time-wasting and slowing the game down. 'I just hope that that's taken on board, that we're trying to play a real aggressive style of football and there's a responsibility for the whole league to play a brand of football people want to watch. 'We had the lowest match minutes of any game in the league on the weekend and it was about 15 minutes less than what a normal match looks like.

I hope for the league's sake, with the new TV deal and people wanting to tune in, that these things don't keep happening. 'The game was a bit frustrating on the weekend because the momentum was consistently stopped. 'We want to try to play a brand of football that creates an identity and also excites people as well,' he said. He appealed on Thursday for more action from officials. 'You want to be desperate to play for this club, not just use it as a stepping stone, and I think that's why we've really looked at certain types of characters as well, that are in it for the long haul and not just here to make a step.' Missed chances then two goals conceded early in the second half last Sunday left Newcastle chasing the game and Papas frustrated with time-wasting tactics. I think the boys who have come in are really desperate to play for this club and that's the main message. Asked if the situation added any spice to the game for him, Papas said: 'It doesn't come into any calculation from my side, whoever leaves you wish them the best, but we're not worried about who isn't here anymore.

With ex-Jets coach Carl Robinson in charge, Western Sydney had five recent Newcastle players in their starting side for the round-one scoreless draw with Sydney. The Jets will look to bounce back from a 2-1 opening-round F3 Derby loss to the Mariners in another clash sure to pique the interest of fans. Papas, though, is comfortable in the knowledge his new-look Jets A-League squad are 'desperate to play for this club' and are not using it as a 'stepping stone'. Arthur Papas says coming up against a Wanderers side stacked with former Jets on Sunday at CommBank Stadium doesn't come into his calculations.
