Watched on Bar TV @ancient_magpie late last night after commitments at the races.
The break-out game for Logan Deininger (Brookes). 3 clutch plays in the last 10 mins won us the game.
Also thought Max Taotua, Lanyon, Mitch Taotua, Haywood & Mataale were very good.
The speed in the middle & ball playing of Lanyon makes such a difference and he does a lot of cleanup defensive work around the ruck too.
I think a big focus for Shane Sultana will be stemming momentum against us. Cost us last week against the Wahs and in the 1st 16 mins of the 2nd half, we had the ball for 1 set if my counting was correct.
But on the flip, at least we turned things around in the final quarter of the game. Maybe slim hope of making the top 5.

Good summary @BlackWhiteGold. I agree that having Lanyon there made a huge difference.

Love the work of Steve Isdale from the bench.
That guy has a booming voice which I dare say could be heard as far away as Flemmo Markets.
His frantic “Mayday Mayday Mayday” calls when we were short on the right was worth the price of admission 👍

It’s under estimated how beneficial a strong loud voice from the bench can be.

Is Isdale the new assistant that Sultana chose to bring up with him?
I’m not sure, Bus 2 Terrigal might know ?

Now this staying in the correct forum category thing is confusing and I’ll probably be accused of stoking division - but exiting news has just dropped for us Magpie dinosaurs - there appears to be a genuine push from the Fibros to add the Flegg Cup team to the club’s lower grades stable 👍
... and the mighty Black & Whites also have designs on the women’s teams.

PS This post is Wests Tigers related (and Jersey Flegg related) as this team is currently branded as Wests Tigers.

It would be absolute stupidity to do this, KOE should be branded as Wests Tigers as well and piss off the Balmain Tigers and West Magpies to SG Ball and Matts only. FFS when is this crap going to stop?

What a bunch of shite if this happens. This shit needs to stop.
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.
I'll always stand up for Wests against some of the ludicrous rubbish that gets trotted out on the forum but I don't agree with this one little bit. If Wests want more teams, enter teams in Ron Massey and the Shield. There's more than enough talent in the south-west to support this.

Former Magpies General Manager Dan Watson Hayes sums it up like this 👇
Out of interest, does anyone know where I’d find a copy of the original joint venture agreement ? I’m guessing it stipulated that Western Suburbs & Balmain were to continue competing in all NSWRL run competitions.

Nothing wrong with my age, whether it’s showing or not.
I was however definitely showing a point-of-interest.
Whether you like it or not, politics makes the world go round.
The background machinations of our club
are surely relevant ... no 🤔
