In extremely promising signs for the season ahead, Western Suburbs scored a big victory over a highly-touted Manly side in Round 1 of the SG Ball Cup.
A big portion of the Wests squad consists of players who won the Harold Matthews Cup premiership in 2022, and it was one of that team’s star players, Lachlan Galvin, who scored the Magpies' first try of the new season.
Powerful centre Solomone Saukuru (whose father Joey, coaches the side) produced two damaging efforts to collect a double, while Heath Mason, Heith Pritchard and Faaletino Tavana scored tries.
Galvin collected his second for the day, late in the contest to seal a great opening win for Wests.
