    What's on your work bench right now?

    Fabricating a few parts and running some wiring so I can put in some concealed high speed USB c charge ports in the stone age run around. Just finished putting a giant subwoofer in the boot that I had sitting around.

    2027 half back and five eigth

    He has played lock before under Benji. Kimmorley's quote referred to AD playing centre - which he has played many times since. There's no denying AD can be a hot head. Footy is full of guys like him. The good clubs just know how to manage them.

    And he looked like he was playing very injured. If the club pressured me to play in the forwards with a busted shoulder I'd hit the roof too.

    2027 half back and five eigth

    What's the club going to say? Our doctor said his busted shoulder is fine but Adam disagreed? It's a legal and medical fine line.

    I guess we'll see. Clubs have signed players that have done much worse.

    2027 half back and five eigth

    Honestly, nobody knows exactly the circumstances or why the AD incident happened. We just know there was a blow up between a senior player and the coach (not that unusual) and the player refused to play (unusual) and that the club handled the PR very badly. At the time he was playing with a...

    2027 half back and five eigth

    I'd be very surprised if AD is even at the club next year. I can't see how you can ever really recover from a blow up with the coach. Surely he's permanently on the outer with most of the playing group too. People need to pump the brakes on Javon. He's still very young and the jump from NSW cup...

    Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

    You'd have to ask the CEO. Since wests tigers completely run the footy side of reserves, you'd have to assume it's saves some money paying staff to run reserve grade only gigs?

    Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

    The team is run entirely by Wests Tigers. It's part of the club's pathways system. They employ the staff and the players and provide facilities. Nobody from Ashfield is running the reserve grade team. The Magpies footy club (which is not HBG btw) just host the game day event, sell some...

    Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

    People always say this, but hardly provide any genuine examples of how it's actually "holding us back". Mainly just some vague notions. Our own CEO has said it's a good arrangement that saves Wests Tigers time and money by having the Magpies handle NSW Cup game-day operations. The only people...

    Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

    We're talking the reserve grade team. Even the boneheads at HBG have zero interest in changing the NRL team's name. I've cheered on Wests Tigers, Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies in the last year and it's yet to cause me or many others any sort of identity crisis.

    Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

    Wests Tigers run the side and are themselves are fine with the very minor nod to the heritage of one of our foundation clubs. I can guarantee the guys playing reserves don't even give it a second of thought. For mine, if you can't get behind the reserve grade side (whether they're wearing a...

    Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

    Why not? I'm a member of both Western Suburbs and Balmain footy clubs. Both have great history. It's great that both clubs still exist in some way shape or form.

    Delving deep inside Wests Ashfield

    Sounds like the state government didn't force Balmain Leagues to do buy anything. It reads more like the directors had no idea what they were doing and drowned in debt: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/tigers-fighting-for-financial-lifeline/news-story/9124d7dd430a6f8dd6e25e1db49dc24b
