[Harvey]

Those results look ordinary

[Yossarian]

Up against two very strong junior teams.

[Yossarian]

Good win in the TG cup though.

We should have strong junior teams. Not like there is a shortage of league player in the south west.

True but it's been some time since they did anything. Every time I speak to someone from out that way I get told it's run by muppets. Apparently they lose some good ones to the Dogs.

2. Alosomu Lolohea, any relation to Tui

[formerguest]

Not a good day for the youngsters.

Wests juniors haven't been particularly strong for some time now and Balmain still relies on a smaller nursery of players. Penrith and Illawarra on the other hand consistently produce strong junior teams so it was always going to be an uphill battle for the boys.

[ALX22]

Some context in regards to the Magpies HM side. Second youngest in the competition. Three imports so will take time to work as a team.

[Balmain Boy]

Tough draw to face the strongest teams straight up, before they've had a chance to gel etc. Hopefully results improve.

[Lidcombe to the Gong]

The NRL needs to show some urgent leadership or the Macarthur area will be lost to Rugby League.
1 They should push the State Government for an upgrade of Campbelltown Stadium
2 They should insist on the WESTS Tigers playing a minimum of 8 games per season at Campbelltown
3 Then we will see more locals children playing junior league (remember this is the junior area that produced Jarrod Hayne, Israel Folau, Ryan Hoffman, Teddy, Lawro, Jason Taylor, etc.)
PS
Why did the NRL allow Tedesco (our best junior in many a year) to leave the club to join the latte sipping Roosters? This is a disgrace, Teddy should have been encouraged by the NRL to remain a WESTS Tiger and appointed as an NRL junior ambassador for the Macarthur area.

I think you are way off mark with every point.

The idea I thought was to make the NRL and the Wests Tigers stronger.

I. With $2b already spent on stadiums, I can't see Campbelltown being a priority (there are more pressing needs in the State than upgrading football stadiums).
2. I don't believe the required level of support from Campbelltown has been provided to justify 8 games. Commercial realities also play a part and years ago WTs received $150,000 a game to play at ANZ. Is there a similar guarantee out at Campbelltown?
3. Good talent no doubt but Hayne and Hoffman chose to go elsewhere, Taylor eventually moved and Tedesco couldn;'t get out of the joint fast enough. Lawrence is an outstanding ambassador for the club. Why do so many of our best leave or are lost at an early age?
4. WTs made a very good offer to Tedesco. His decision to leave alone. and his decision could be compared to that of Lawrence and the loyalty he has demonstrated over his career.

[Balmain Boy]

Are there no flegg trials this weekend? Sure they won't be heading up to Cairns but surely there'd be a local trial before the Sharks game? Would have thought there'd be a team sheet floating around somewhere..
