I’m conscious of that. You get what you pay for in life. $240K not bad coin for about 30 hours effort in 2 years.

Well we could certainly use some new blood in those positions.
The fact no players went is a very poor reflection on our football operations section and also the club heirarchy in general who should have insisted somebody went.Complete fail both on and off the field.We all know somebody should be accountable for this but we all know the responsible people will be protected as they always are

Unbelievable, disappointing.
I wonder if any of these kids are future pathway stars, you know pathways....... it's apparently what WT are going to devote all their time, effort and resources into, to build a better football club. 🤔
We don't know all the facts but at first glance it looks like a poor effort.

Not surprised... We are down the bottom and a laughing stock for a reason

Very early days, but good that we have a few guns in our younger system who were at the Aus Schoolboys this year. Ali Karnib, Alex Isdale, Large brothers, Makasini all have big wraps on them for their age group. Need to keep them away from rivals in the next few years.

Was mentioned by Sheens a few months ago that he believes WT has the best young spine coming through that he has had at a club. Assuming he is talking about Ali Karnib (fullback), Onitoni Large (5/8), AJ Isdale (halfback) and Tallyn Da Silva (hooker).
Karnib went to the Aus Schoolboys championships in the backrow this year but believe his preferred position is fullback and played there recently in a WT Cubs trial.
Karnib, large and Isdale will all play in Wests HMatts spine in 2023 while would expect SGBall and Flegg for Da Silva. Would tick a lot of boxes for few years off + flagging combinations and development internally + timetable flagged at post Madge presser.

The issue which is overlooked (often) is that these players are from the Campbelltown/Macarthur area. We typically would have lost these players to the Eels or Roosters but have retained them. Kudos to the club for improvements which have to a large extent gone unnoticed.

Let's just hope Vlandys doesn't push any further with the draft idea.....we are finally embracing and promoting our development pathways and a draft would send all the identified talent elsewhere.

got some brilliantly talented juniors coming into our ranks, but we just need to be patient. Karnib, Large and Isdale are all 16 next year. I doubt we see any of them in regular first grade until 2026. need to be developed properly and given the time they need.
that said, as a campbelltown boy, very excited to see our Wests junior reps sides onfield in a few months. absolutely stacked with talent and potential first graders, providing we keep them and develop.

I note Wests 2021 Matthews Cup skipper Tom Fisher has been picked up by Canterbury 😢
A tough as teak second rower, Fisher won the Camden Rams Rising Star Award in 2021 and was a mainstay of the St Gregory’s College pack.
