Last seen putting in a nightmare performance at the Campbelltown Stadium as they slumped to a woeful 4-0 drumming at home against Western Sydney, the Bulls have recorded just a single victory from any of their previous 10 consecutive appearances across all competitions - a run that stems all the way back to New Year's Day.
Four players have been banned from all football-related activity for several years for their part in match-fixing offences in Australia's A-League. Kearyn Baccus and ex-New Zealand international Clayton Lewis were paid A$10,000 (4,940) each to get themselves booked during Macarthur FC's game against Sydney FC in December 2023. Both were sentenced to a two-year conditional release order, external in September and have now been banned for five years by Football Australia, effective from May 2024.
