We needed a new topic to argue over
Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?
- Thread starter Tigerlander
- Start date
For people who were born and raised in Australia, but with heritage from other nations, is it not ok for them to still have an affiliation to the nation of their heritage?
I can’t see a problem with that and it’s no different to people who were once diehard Western Suburbs Magpies or Balmain Tigers supporters still having an affiliation with either of those proud old clubs.
More and more NRL teams now have 2 feeder clubs, why can’t we ? Even if one is Easts Tigers to give us a broader look at up and coming talent.

So if we use the same logic any fan that wears a Wests or Balmain Jersey should be tarred and feathered or even stoned to death

I support the Magpies as much as the WT and I go to most games at Lidcombe. Nothing beats it.

You can feel the spirits there. It more than a football ground. It is sacred ground. The echoes in the wind that brush past your ears on a barren Saturday afternoon. What seems a lifetime gone by - yet only yesterday.

Having Brisbane Easts as a feeder would change the game for us.

Unless I am mistaken, they are affiliated with Melbourne Storm next season.

It shouldn't. We have a huge nursery in Sydney , we just don't nurture it.

That nursery is not producing good enough players.

I support the Magpies in the cup.
Would prefer a Wests Tigers Cup team though.

When it does we get raided.
Which junior area you talking about??
Campbelltown/Group 6 is regularly scout by Manly, East, ARU, Souths, Storm
I think you're talking about Pratten Park, and the spirits of Holman, Kelly, McMillan, Dimond, etc, rather than that other ground they played at for just 20 years.

Yes, I support Magpies in KOE. I support Tigers in NRL. My dad took me as a 4 year old to Pratten Park not far from where we lived at Croydon for my first Magpies game whereas dad was a keen Saints supporter. I've been hooked on Maggies ever since then. Went to a few Lidcombe games when we lived in the Mountain's and even a singular Campbelltown game.
