ISP Team Announcement: Round 24
Author Dan Talintyre Timestamp Tue 21 Aug 2018, 03:57 PM

Western Suburbs Magpies Intrust Super Premiership Coach Brett Hodgson has named his side to take on the Newtown Jets for their Round 24 clash this Saturday.

Kickoff for the match is at 1:00pm AEST from Henson Park, with live coverage via Channel 9.

Currently sitting in fifth spot on the Intrust Super Premiership ladder ahead of the final game of the regular season, a win for the Magpies on Saturday against the third-placed Jets would see them finish the year inside the top four — earning a potential week off and a crucial second chance — while a loss would see them likely remain in fifth or drop down to sixth, depending on other results over the weekend.

After back-to-back one-point wins, Hodgson has named a strong side to take on the Jets with NRL squad members Tyson Gamble, Tuimoala Lolohea, Pita Godinet, Chris McQueen and Robbie Rochow named.

Tim Grant has also been included as he makes his return from a knee injury in a huge boost for the side, while a number of Jersey Flegg-eligible players have been named — five in total from the 19-man team.

Final team lists for this week's Intrust Super Premiership clash will be confirmed one hour prior to kickoff.

Really need to win this game if they want any chance in the finals. This team looked guns at the start of the year but have lost a lot of players.

Once you make the finals it’s a new competition. A top 4 gives you a second chance but realistically every game is a gf. I think Manly fell into 8th and won

What did Rhys Martin do?

Lined up for ISC.
Walked on field for ten seconds then walked off….

Didn't play the game but made a brief appearance.

Thus making him eligible for ISC finals.

Many teams have done similar over the years

No doubt. But it makes a joke of ISC I reckon. Perhaps a minimum of 40 minutes needs to be played for that game to count towards ISC eligibility, that would be a better policy.

And then you'll have them faking injuries …..can't win , blames clubs coaches and players ....always trying to cheat the rules

Absolutely its the clubs/coaches fault.
What would faking injuries do though? If a player doesn't have 40 minutes on-field game time then that game shouldn't count towards eligibility. Simple. If an injury is to be taken into consideration then specific medical evidence needs to be produced and OK'd by the governing body.
The way it is at the moment I would love to see a team that for instance has top spot on the ladder sewn up a game or more out from the finals name their top 17 from 1st grade in ISC, have the game commence and then after 20 seconds haul all of the players off the field faking injury leaving the oposition out there on their own racking up a score of 200- blot. Those 17 "injured" players would still have that game counted towards ISC finals eligibility. That would expose it for the massively flawed system that it currently is.
