Yes it was a good side. Tony Ford played fullback that day and scored 23 points from memory, a try and 10 goals.

Loved Hodgo as a player but he was an ordinary coach when he coached our reserves and, based on what we're seeing on the field this year, he hasn't improved. I know it sounds OTT but I'd remove the whole NRL coaching team and try again. If we lose players, so be it. We won't improve in 2026...

We're just lucky that Balmain's outstanding financial management has kept us in the competition. Those Magpie bastards would have sent us to the poorhouse.

Your memory is spot on. I was there with my Balmain mate and tried hard not to rub his nose in it. If it's any consolation Balmain won the second round match.

Totally agree. It's a terrible look.

More sad news. He was a great runner of the ball. Loved his style. Vale DP.

Mate, I love the old Magpies but I can't see any reason to do this other than to sow discord within the WT club. I'm happy to brand our two junior teams (Matts and Ball) as Wests and Balmain but leave the rest alone and have a plan to make the KOE side a WT side at some point in the future...

My bad. Thought they all happened at the same time.

Trials ended before the school holidays. Year 12s entering their last term of school ever.

Could not agree more. Our backs are top 8 level if playing behind a good pack, buy they're not. I reckon we need 3 forward additions at quality first grade level plus KPP who has already signed.

How good is that.

Wrong. We have the best spine in the comp.

Going well so far.

I’m not talking about corporate structures. I’m talking about the essence of what the Magpies are about. Some of the posters on here are attacking the club itself and its record. Proud Wests supporters won’t stand for it and neither we should, Not sure you’re an honest broker on here either...

OK and this is MY last word on the subject because it has become totally boring. I have no dispute with what you’ve written above. My point is that a number of attacks have been directed at Wests Magpies FOOTBALL club and they are not HBG or Wests Ashfield. They are totally separate and distinct...

Enough mate.

Voltaire was a good player but always played better when he was paired with Jean Dop.

HBG is not the Wests Magpies football club and vice versa. If you have issues with HBG, so do I. If you have issues with Wests Magpies football club, your angst is misdirected.

Hey BZN, my post wasn't aimed at you but it was directed towards anyone on either side of the argument who want to see a return to pre-2000 times. Speaking as an old Maggies supporter, we were terrible in the 90s particularly and the joint venture was our chance for salvation. I don't, however...

Totally agree with you. HBG have a lot to answer for. I was responding to another poster earlier in this thread who laid the blame fairly and squarely at the feet of Wests Magpies. I won’t go back and find the thread for you because it sounds like we not at all apart in our thinking. I was just...
