OFFICIAL SG Ball Cup

Surely there’s more players that can be playing up in flegg? Why is Willet not there? It’s a wasted opportunity he would develop better with more game time, trained with first grade this off season.

Willett must have picked up an injury. He was missing from the last 2 SG Ball games too. Hopefully not too serious and he can play a bit of Flegg this year.

WESTERN SUBURBS MAGPIES
Captain: TBA
Coach: Nathan Lakeman
Last season: 8th (4-1-4)

Why they will be competitive: Usually a force in this age group, the Magpies are desperate to make a finals return and according to coach Nathan Lakeman there’s plenty for fans to be excited about.

“Like other teams, the boys have trained hard in the pre-season,” said Lakeman. “We have a good mix of aged players and young players with many coming out of last year’s Harold Matts grand final team.

“The boys understand the nature of this competition, the expectations and standard required. After a disappointing 2024 they are looking to bounce back in 2025.”

Key fixture: Warriors (round six). The Magpies face two of last season’s top four sides in the first four rounds, but with a host players stepping up from the side beaten in last year’s Harold Matts decider, you can bet they will be eager to peg one back when the Warriors arrive at Campbelltown in round six.

Players to watch: Jack Nicholas is a formidable force out wide. Big and strong, the outside back is a danger at either end of the field and last season proved a smash hit for Patrician Brothers Blacktown in the Peter Mulholland Cup.

Blessed with leaders, Archie Duncombe has had a taste of Jersey Flegg and last year the backrower represented Country. Workaholic middle Denzel Schaafhausen- Mino is a former skipper of Westfields Sports High and rejoins the squad and after an off-season with the Flegg squad.

In the halves, Sonny Edwards-Moeke returns for another campaign and mixes flair off both feet with an ability to steer the team around the park.

Phoenix Godinet is another schoolboy sensation who has already caught the eye of talent scouts around the country. A tearaway on the edge, Lakeman believes he’ll relish the rise to U19s and expects the backrower to make “a bold showing in 2025”.
