PHIL Moss says the Mariners are hungry to go into the finals series with momentum ahead of this weekend's final fight for second spot.

Central Coast endured a miserable trip to Perth, where they were beaten 3-1 by the Glory in a shock result on the pitch and had drama with their flights off it.

It means the race for second place on the A-League ladder will only be decided this weekend, with five teams still in with a mathematical chance of clinching it, though the Mariners and Western Sydney are the frontrunners.

"What a final round of the competition, when you can finish second, or sixth can still finish second," Moss said.

"It's a magnificent final round and certainly goes to show how close the competition is. But certainly from our point of view we were disappointed with our performance in Perth and obviously with the result.

"It was a disappointing weekend. The whole thing with the travel to get to Perth the day before and then obviously the performance and the result.

"Even as late as getting back to Sydney on Sunday we had to go into a holding pad for 20 minutes because there was a something wrong with the landing equipment. So it was just one of those weekends."

The Mariners were denied late on in Perth when Bernie Ibini's strike was incorrectly ruled offside and Moss questioned why referee Stephen Lucas was handed his A-League debut in such a crucial game.

But the issue has since been cleared up and Moss is confident his players will bounce back against Brisbane away this weekend.

"The one thing I will say about our dressing room is that the pride is hurting, and when the pride is hurting there's always a reaction," he said.

"It's about us this week. We're just as hungry to go into the finals with momentum as Brisbane are and in a lot of ways we've got more to play for because our ladder position hasn't been confirmed yet. So until it's all over we're fighting for second spot."
