It doesn't leave many of Wests Magpies top 18yos in 2026 playing higher to start the season- Jhevon Lele, Curtis Lakeman & Elijah Lapu'aho. Plus Siotame Havea Jr who is NRL T&T.

Our LDC team looks very strong. James Lanyon (wing), highly rated prospect. Kye Penfold (lock), former Country U16 rep '24 & Harold Matts coaches award last year. Andrew Sio (2nd Row) & Jake Gaffney (Prop) have both made rep teams. Ashton Chan-Sau (prop - captain), Jordan Truckle (wing), Reuben...

Yeah was thinking the same too. Aiden Richards & Josh Vella are both turning 19 this year and will probably get the wing jerseys to start the SG Ball season for the Magpies.

Enjoy the session @blakewp Look forward to your wrap-up if you get time. A question I'd be keen to have throw in is ... how is the club going to improve its communications to members & fans given it has been extremely poor this pre-season. No player or coaching insights, no T&T squad details...

It has been terrible TW. No excuse for it tbh. We have had a new Comms Director in there now for all off and pre-season who has a good CV. The website is so far behind, no comms on pathways, hardly any player comms over the pre-season, it’s not good in terms of building/maintaining connection...

TDM has re-activated his Insta account. World order has been restored!

As others have indicated, I think it's safe to assume the black shirts are the A team & orange shirts the B team from training pics since they resumed post-Christmas break. Interesting that Hope has a black shirt, maybe in the running for a spot on the 6-man bench. Skelton back in black and on...

Temu's looking powerful!

Looks like it is team photo day for Wests Magpies Junior Reps with the SG Ball squad here. Relieved to see Josh Vella in the team after zerotackle had left him out of the summer squad list they published. Very talented winger/fullback.

Who knows? Hopefully hear in the next week. I wonder if the club plan something like the Dragons this year - https://www.dragons.com.au/news/2026/01/23/st-george-launches-2026-junior-reps-season/

What are the odds on a sensationalised story in the SMH or DT in the next 24 hours. Headline will be 'Divide at Tigers reaches breaking point - fans try to overthrow board'! (even though it's HBG).

Luai exclusive interview with the DT - top 8 in 2026, the board issue, Benji's style, focused on 5/8, Afoa was MVP of the camp, KPP is impressing all & sundry, Bula's future etc etc. https://weststigersforum.com/threads/jarome-luai-295.35395/post-2222778

To avoid confusion, this is to do with the HBG board not Wests Tigers board.

It's disappointing if that's the case. The club should be trying to build a connection between fans & our pathways especially if Mielekamp wants to create a world-leading pathways system. I could be a parent of a young player and if I have that connection with the club already, there is greater...

Benson has gone. Yes we are light on for halves in Flegg. I can think of Heith Pritchard and perhaps Javon Andrews will start the season in Flegg and that ex Warriors Flegg backup half training with us. Maybe they have high hopes for Jhevon Lele, Curtis Lakeman or Christian Azzi to step up once...
