Wests Magpies 2010 Pre-Season..Gains/Losses..

[tiger_one]

Wests Magpies State Cup squad came together on 9 November 2009 for fitness testing, prior to formal pre-season training starting a week later.

So what news is there?
Squad personnel changes?
Goss?

I can tell you balmain hasnt started training yet because they currently only have 6 players.

It could have been worse.

 

[tomcat]

hey smeg, i was only joking, i thought at one stage balmain were going to do the bulls…

I know mate. Hence why the relatively inoffensive barb back.

It was one of those games where nothing goes right.

Soon enough Season 2010 will be upon us and it all begins again

No mention of the fringe first graders and 20's coming up T_1…

By the looks of the losses some of the young gun forwards could find themselves playing for Wests next year ...Props ,Hooker, back row and halves......

Of the gains only heard of Ranieri.....

 

[Magpie]

Corey Vlaciky has gone to Newcastle…

 

[tiger_one]

Ranieri is a big lump, prop ex Penrith and St George Illawarra, about 24yo.
Pearn is a prop from the Panthers (Wolves) State Cup team.

Cant believe they let charlie herekotokutku go, this kid has so much potential,better suited at 5/8, but also goes well at fullback, has a great step and a ton of speed, dont be surprised if he's in the roosters first grade side next year..

 

[tomcat]

No great loss in brendan waters, has the worst kicking game , and can't pass from from right to left, cost us a few games this year.glad he's gone..

 

[tomcat]

just wondering where leo will play , brown and daniella, ?

 

[Geo]

BRET…..

 

[tomcat]

any idea when the state cup draw will be announced?

Don't think it's been settled yet Poppa….blokes like Akeripa,Pritchard and Davis from last year are training with first grade...then there is the likes of The Fafita boys, Schirnack Jnr, Dwyer, Corby. Nichols who would start in State Cup I'd imagine.....

As soon as any thing comes out of the Whitlam Centre bunker......I'll post it on here.....

 

[Poppa]

I'd say the Fifita boys, and Jason Shirnack will end up with Balmain, mainly because of where they live, and in Shirnack's case, his brother playing with Balmain. Wests will definatley get Dwyer, probably Corby, but Nichols will go to Balmain being a local junior.

They won't do too bad though cause mainly because of geographical conditions they should get Daniela and Moors, and maybe Brown.
