I thought Wests Campbelltown looked after the juniors, surely they arnt short of a quid.

This is a good question.

A few years ago they broadened their mission to fund sport rather than just rugby league and ditched their support for Wests Tigers (citing they get better value as a sponsor rather than a backer).

I never really understood whether this was strategic or if they had a bee in their bonnet about footy.

They did provide Wests juniors with a grant but it's not clear how much that was for.

All round, a pretty sad situation.

Yeah, the club isnt as transparent as they declare,
 
The administration at Wests Junior League has been a shambles for generations.

But with one of the richest clubs in the whole Macarthur region financing them, serious questions need to be answered.

Western Suburbs juniors now called '"The Wests Tigers Macarthur District Junior Rugby League Ltd"

Its abit confusing bringing Western Suburbs into the ISP but changing the name of the juniors inline with Wests Tigers. I dont get where we are heading.

Whats interesting is that Wests Campbelltown appears to be back in the mix. Can only be a good thing for the club.
