Rugby league history

[gallagher]

I think we won Club Championship in 1991, very close in 1992.

Hard to believe that in 1991 and 1992 Wests made the finals (top 5) in all three grades.

Should have been set up for sustained success.

What could have been? Shortly after lost Hill, Dymock, Taylor, Britt, Gillespie in quick succession.

I was told that wests ashfield cut back a lot of funding and management pissed off Masterton so he left.
Ultimately killing the club at the top level

My old man would curse that club every time we drove past which was often as I liver round the corner... Even from the 70s
