All I am saying is we need to focus upon Liverpool and MacArthur and claim those areas as ours.
What if the Magpies were the sole NSw Cup side?
- Thread starter galahs
- Start date
Last time I got the train through liverpool, It had 900 Dogs supporters on it… And that's not even Hypothetically... It's FACT!!. It was bloody full of them.... I agree we need to focus on these areas, Putting the Brand into the minds of the kids!! But I think we should be doing that in every town and city in Australia!! I want every 5 year old who pulls on a boot to want to wear our stipes... WHO DOESN'T??
But the best way to do it, Is by getting the Players to the Parks, Getting them into the schools, Match Day extras for the Juniors....
Magpies and BRET have SFA to do with Kids wanting to be Wests Tigers.

You're not really answering Geo's question. How does having a state cup team based there help this cause?
Why would it make sense? Who says they're targetting Macarthur above the inner west?

Don't you love it when some people try to tell you what is and what isn't important to you.

Wests Tigers have done VERY LITTLE in the South West. It's time that changed.

How can you write such crap and call yourself a wests tigers supporter.Long before a player becomes a wests tiger he is a western suburbs magpie as a junior footballer in harold matts sg ball e.t.c if wests juniors were not around in the mcarthur area they would all be playing soccer or something else.
Dear MM, Ask one of these said Kids who his favourite player is…. If he says Magic Waters I'll scrub George St. with a toothbrush!!
And CK tiger... Yeah without both Clubs there wouldn't have been Wests Tigers... But It was 12 years ago!!
It's all about Wests Tigers, MY whole point is... And has been all along. That Having One State Cup side Called "Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers, Or Western Suburbs Magpies.... Is of NO BENEFIT to the Wests Tigers BRAND!! And people who suggest Such GARBAGE are living in the past and simply flying the flags for they're once great club.
One Club, One Banner, One Brand.... In as many faces as possible!!
If Wests don't wanna comply.... Then Don't!! Get Danny Galea or Peni Tagive to run around for you on the weekend....
It won't affect the Wests Tigers Premiership campaingn, I don't know about you guys... But that's the one I'll remember most!!

OK, OK…. SOOOOO....
Wade McKinnon, Beau Ryan, Blake Ayshford, Mitch Brown, Matt Utai, Benji Marshall, Tim Moltzen, Andrew Fifita, Robbie Farah, Keith Galloway, Gareth Ellis, Chris Heighington, Sean Meaney and Aaron Woods were all former "Western Suburbs Magpies Juniors" were they.... TURN IT UP!!
And NO My $1000.00 a year Membership and the fact that I drive minimum 6 Hours to see Most Games (Including your beloved Magpies) Dictates that I am a WESTS TIGERS SUPPORTER. Not the rebuttle written to a couple old Diehard Maggies, Intent on flying old flags

I think you are missing the point batboy.
This thread started because Wests think they're getting diddled out of all the good players who head to Balmain/Ryde Eastwood.
It's only natural that the old heads from both original clubs want to retain something from the past - and I agree they should.
Truth is that apart from the real diehard supporters of WestsTigers ( and other clubs ) no one gives a rats about the state cup.
They tune in or turn up to watch the WestsTigers NRL team and nothing else.
Not like the old days when the reserves and thirds played prior in the same colours and you could see the guys coming through at the same ground.
To most people you could call the state cup teams anything you like at they wouldn't know or care - it has ZERO to do with WestsTigers branding.
Leave the Balmain and Western Suburbs names to continue so we can all see from whence the mighty WestsTigers were spawned.
If you read the thread you'll see that I certainly didn't miss the point…
I know what it was about... And I have stated previously that No One gives a rats about the
State Cup.
MY POINT (And I've said it before) is that if we should have as many guys running around under the Wests Tigers Banner as possible...
Like the old days, 3 Grades, 1 Stripe, One Team...
I have no Problem with either side fielding teams until they're hearts content.... From Phoetus's to Ove r40's should they wish.
what I'm saying is i don't think it is in the Best interests of the Wests Tigers Footbal Club, Brand, Players, Administration OR Coaching Staff to have 2 Feeder Teams, Or have the feeder team under any other name than the Wests Tigers!!

batboy -you are contradicting yourself .
If ,as you agree, no one give a rats about state cup then who cares what names the teams are called.
Truth be told 95% of NRL fans wouldn't know what state cup is or have never heard of it .
I am sure most would think the Toyota Cup was the direct feeder to first grade.
If there was only one state cup team that was linked to WestTigers I might agree with you and call them WestsTigers - but at the moment there are two and that takes us back to the beginning…..
Isn't that what this thread is about…. That there is now only one Feeder side??
All the Contracted Players or Players that will get a look in are playing for ONE TEAM!!
I'm sure it is... I've been here the whole time!!
I'm NOT only talking about at a supporter level.... I'm talking Administration, Coaching... EVERYTHING!!!
2 teams takes up twice as much resources, When realistically There will be Maybe a dozen (IF THAT!!) Of the Players will Ever get to 1sts/Side.
Sheensy has a premiership to win us... I can understand If he doesn't wanna catch an extra state cup game every week... When he is only interested in a small portion of the playing roster.
And you wanna take us back to the start??? REALLY??? Is that such a good place to go?
We are not even a remnant now of the club we were, Wests Tigers is it's own Snowball now...
It doesn't need history to Gather Momentum!!

All clubs buy young up and comers from all different areas it wont effect the kids if they are good enough.
I think you overrate this area.All teams get a slice dont worry about that you cant stop it wests doesnt own the area.All this over very little.
Who said they would be basing it at concord when they do merge.
I live at blacktown they could play on our stadium.lol

Theres plenty of bigger AREAS with more kids that dont have any team that they could call their own so no big deal i think your dramatising quite a bit. So if they do make a team out at the mcarthur region and its not the wests tigers who will you support
