So, what was the secret to Sydney City's success this season?
Sydney we're a tough team to play all season, and this started with a strong foundation that the rest of the team was built on. A centre-back pairing of SSL new boys Slab Head and Coin Flip is the kind of solid foundation any team would like to be constructed on, as at the time of writing they find themselves sat at 2nd and 3rd on the classes TPE chart. Like any good tandem: Salt and Pepper, Penn and Teller, Batman and Robin; Slab Head and Coin Flip have perfectly complimented each other throughout this impressive run, each thriving where the other falters, and standing tall together in the face of adversity.
