Wests win 12-10\. Sounded like a scrappy game plenty of errors and penalties.
Liddle given MOTM

A wins a win. Boys played ugly. No play makers. Solid in defence. Nothing in attack

It sounded like Tui was more involved than any other player but it was rocks and diamonds.
Norths probably win if Farah plays

Well I’m here and have been all game. Here’s the problem - ISP should be at 2pm. 1st grade warm up out the back. So JF at 12, ISP at 2 then NRL at 4.10\. If you did that there would be a good crowd here by 2pm

I’m a Tui fan but my commitment to this has been tested this last month. Being run around so easy last week was very confronting.
So I watched him carefully today. The haters can hate but I’m going to say he tried his guts out. He is recovering from injury and is lacking confidence. He is not lazy nor disinterested. He can come back from sheer he is now. He won’t be our fullback but may be a centre candidate in time and definitely a utility option. I hope we persist with him

Magpies hold on to defeat Bears
Author Dan Talintyre Timestamp Sun 17 Jun 2018, 01:31 PM
Western Suburbs Magpies Intrust Super Premiership side have made it back-to-back wins with a hard-fought 12-10 victory over North Sydney today at Campbelltown.
Young gun Jacob Liddle got the scoring going early and produced a dominant 80-minute performance in the middle of the field, while stand-in half Bayley Sironen was equally impressive as Brett Hodgson's side consolidated third spot on the ladder heading in to next week's standalone Representative Round.
Leading 12-10 at the break, it was a tough second half for Western Suburbs running in to a stiff breeze at Campbelltown but the home side showcased once more the defensive resolve that has hallmarked the season so far to hold firm and emerge with the crucial two points on offer this afternoon.
Playing just his second game in a row as he continues to work back from off-season shoulder surgery, Liddle picked apart the Bears ruck after just 10 minutes to give Wests an early advantage before the visitors struck back with a well-worked left edge move that saw Curtis Johnston dive over out wide.
Mawene Hiroti showed just how difficult kicking in to the wind would be with his sideline attempt travelling just five metres before landing in the turf, leaving the Magpies with a slender two-point lead.
After sharp work from Chris McQueen on last tackle earned the home side a repeat set and the chance to build some sustained pressure on the Bears line, it was Harry O'Toole who crossed for the hosts second try of the day — largely thanks to a magical cut-out pass from Sironen that beat several defenders out wide.
Tuimoala Lolohea ensured his good start with the boot would continue as he slotted his conversion attempt from out wide to give the Magpies a 12-4 lead after 25 minutes of play.
It wouldn't take long for the Bears to hit back, however, as Wests continued to be victims of their ill-discipline in defence; back-to-back penalties allowing the visitors to attack relentlessly before Billy Brittain crashed over from dummy half. Hiroti had better success with his conversion this time around, cutting the lead to just two points once more as the two sides entered the half-time break at Campbelltown.
North Sydney began the second half the way they finished the first, and looked likely to take the lead for the first time in the game but a sustained period of attack on the Magpies line saw them come up empty.
With Sironen off the field to a concussion, the onus was on Lolohea to stand up in attack and the fullback was incredibly unlucky not to seal the game for Western Suburbs with two clever kicks close to the line — both times finding the man in space but Braden Robson and Pita Godinet both couldn't quite collect.
Godinet looked to have sealed the win when he put O'Toole over with five minutes to go, only for the try to be waved by the officials with a controversial forward pass. In the end, though, it would matter not as the home side held on with a well-controlled final few minutes to emerge with a gutsy two-point win.
Western Suburbs Magpies 12 (Liddle, O'Toole tries; Lolohea 2/2 goals) def. North Sydney Bears 10 (Johnston, B.Brittain tries; Hiroti 1/2 goals) at Campbelltown Sports Stadium

Team dug deep. With no real playmakers on the field and a limited backline they did well to beat a team that beat us earlier in the season when we had a much stronger side.
Was an ugly match. Not many chances. We seemed to bomb a few. Tui was somewhat involved, but another rocks and diamonds performance from him. Forwards were fairly solid. The bears fullback was a real live wire

Give JJ a shot at First Grade, he at the very least runs hard. I like Josh Aloai however he has poor hands and also gets fatigued quickly even when coming off the bench.
