Jamie Lyon may have completed that feat now \ \ Posted using RoarFEED

I honestly don't think there should be an issue with some jobs for the boys. In Skando's case, I think it's a good thing to have a former player, one who the current players know and respect, as an on-field trainer, as they often take more in of what they are saying. Folkes obviously did a great...

It's not smart financially, or for the good of the system. We need a single WT State Cup team, no Balmain or Wests. Keeping the NYC kids because they MIGHT go on is just wasting money, and switching them between clubs does nothing for the players that are trying to make that next step, because...

I think we did the right thing taking them on in the final minutes in Fri night. We had to go out in the second half and play football against a side like the warriors, NOT just go into our shell and kick for corners. It may have proved costly, but it was what we has to do, rather than allow...

Didn't Prince play for Aust in '05?? I'd say Galloway will be a certainty, as will Robbie. Ayshford, Lawrence and Fulton will probably be in the train on squad but I can't see them going further. Still would be just reward for their efforts, particularly Fulton and Ayshford

They're playing at 2pm at the Crest on Saturday, so you'd assume the three players who miss out on Friday will back up on Saturday unless Sheens wants to keep them from injury (Fifita will play, and at least one of Utai and McKinnon)

And to think that not too long ago certain sections of the club wanted him gone! This man is, in my opinion, the best player in the game by a long way, and the player who defines his generation (that being the one after Lockyer). How lucky are we to have him!

I'd say it has a bit to do with the fact there are a lot of them not playing next season. McKinnon, Mullaney, Fifita, Flanagan etc are all leaving and maybe losing some interest. I won't cop people bagging Fletcher over this either, mainly as I believe it is far from his fault. There are players...

I think that there shouldn't be a better portrayal of the 'Magpie' brand in WT, because the 'Magpie' brand is, for lack of a better term, irrelevant to the forward movement of WT. (Don't take this the wrong way) The brand that needs to be promoted more is the Wests brand, these are different...

Point one - both years you mention we had a great run with injuries, which means that the State Cup players were rarely thrust into the side. In the years that we've missed the semis, we've had massive injury tolls, yet still competed with many teams. This has happened this year, where we've...

Smeg has is right on, the success of this system is seen in the NRL team, and I believe the problem with the second tier at our club is Wests care more about winning a State Cup competition than producing players that fit within structures and perform well in the top grade. Your comments here...

Ideal next two weeks for us: Round 25 Tigers d Titans (No injuries) Round 26 Tigers d Sharks (No injuries) The rest will sort itself out, and we'll be in the best shape to beat whomever we play in the first week of the semis.

Provan Summons: Help Farah win the medal Adrian McMuray Wests Tigers Captain Robbie Farah is one of the leading contenders for the Provan Summons award but he needs your votes over the final rounds to help get him home. Farah has had another solid year, playing in every game despite an...

Yes Wests Tigers want to take over all grades, but in no way will this be a re-branding, or merging structure. The Balmain and Wests boards will simply not let it happen. There will be a Wests Magpies Harold Matthews and SG Ball, as there will be a Balmain Tigers Harold Matthews and SG Ball...

I believe that the Wests Magpies SG Ball and Harold Matthews won't actually be scrapped, rather WT simply take over the running of them. It would mean WT would run the teams as Wests Magpies out of Campbelltown, much like Balmain is effectively run by WT now out of Leichhardt. Nothing will...

Did anyone attend this meeting today?? Any significant news??

I think the reality is that Balmain will have Ryde-Eastwood there anyway, so they will be represented in State Cup no matter what, which is why I can't understand Wests not joining the State Cup's together. And if that isn't going to happen, it is disrespectful to everyone involved in and...

Mate of mine told me, apparently got a source high up in the NSWRL

It's already a done deal, unless the Dragons decide to go somewhere else

That's right, the Balmain Leagues Club now have nothing to do with the site, but as a part of the zoning (nothing to do with the changes the Council decided to make without consultation last month) if there is any building on the site, it must include the club, hence why they will return there...
