Crazy thought on my part but i hope Madge doesn't promote a lot of the magpies into first grade yet. Hear us out, while the 1st grade squad flounders, which is very infuriating but likely to go on at this point, our reserve grade team is humming.
Cohesion, bullet passes, trust in each other, drive to not only get a try in front but 5 tries in front and not even stop then. Sign the best of them on 2 year contracts and let them develop their game and confidence without burning them out from the pressure of first grade. Which like many before them causes them to assimilate into the frankly abysmal attitude Wests have been synonymous with for ages.
Then back end of the season, should the firsts team be under pretty much no pressure, bring in the best of the Magpies on mass in the positions which need urgent attention. Madden for Brooks (breaks my heart but he's just not cutting it), Tuki Simpkins, Fitzgibbon, Cooper, Cini, Rogers-Smith, Tuilagi. A massive transfusion of players who want to win and an instant culture change. Bringing them in now they'll just be absorbed into the mediocrity after another 20 rounds of what we've been dishing up.
