One of the strongest reserve grade sides I've ever seen.

If we can hold onto these guys for the full 26 rounds the WT will be very well served.

I hope Felise and McQueen see NRL before the likes of Grant and Sue mind you

Sue’s been real good mate, so has Felisse. McQueen and Grant not so much, did anyone see Grants article the other day basically saying he wants out? Came across as a bit of a sook.

The wyong team is pretty garbage on paper, says a lot about east’s depth this year.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Grants a soft cock who is at the bottom of a long pecking order.

At the top of the pecking order of our reserve graders should b Felise.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

How good a day is it, races on Ch 7 and the reserve grade on Ch 9 live, at least it will give us all a chance to see Gamble go round before next week.

Western Suburbs Magpies Intrust Super Premiership Coach Brett Hodgson has finalised his side to take on the Wyong Roos today at Campbelltown Stadium.

Kickoff for the match is at 1:00pm AEDT with live coverage via Channel 9.

Hodgson has confirmed his side will run as per program today, with NRL squad members Taane Milne, Mahe Fonua, Tyson Gamble, Tim Grant, Sauaso Sue, JJ Felise and Chris McQueen all set to feature.

Why does Drinkwater always look head and shoulders above everyone at this level but is complete dog shit at NRL level

Nailed 3/3 conversations from the sideline so far too

 

[Clifferd]

Garner, Drinkwater, Fonua and Milne playing well

Also how awesome is it to see majority of our 1st grade team supporting the reserves in the stands

Definite shift of club culture

Agree, he is MOM ATM

Yep, I thought the FB Heleta is going OK as well.

 

[Clifferd]

Garner is really impressive. Must be in the NRL soon

10x better than McQueen at this current stage

Agree, Re: Garner, do you know anything about him?

 

[Front-Rower]

Who is this Tony Tali(?)? Hopefully he is no where near the first grade team. Lucky to be NSW Cup standard.

 

[Clifferd]

Agree, Re: Garner, do you know anything about him?

Nope, actually never heard of him before round 1. I don’t think he’s even in our top 30 which based off his 3 games is unbelievable

Funny, he was talked up as being better than Marsters. I haven’t seen anything to suggest he’s anythin other than park footy standard

Tali looks ordinary.

Drinkwater was great in patches and that is the sort of player he is in my opinion. He plays great but just doesn't play consistently throughout the game.

Fonua and Milne can stay in reserves. Fonua lost us that game. Milne was pretty poor again.

Garner, Sue and Grant were good.

 

[stryker]

How did Gamble go?

 

[Tigerm]

How did Gamble go?

IMO, I don't think he did his selection to NRL any favours. Drinkwater stood out but as Clifferd said, he just cant reproduce it in the top grade, for some reason.

 

[magpie4ever]

Watching the races so didn't watch much of the game but Sue must be closed to being selection back in 1st grade.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Thoughts,
I agree Tigerm, based on that effort I would not have Gamble next week, gee Moses would look like a true 1st grader playing against Gamble.

However, his selection wouldn’t be based in the 1 game would it?

I also thought Siro went well today as well. If only Garner had some help trying to hold up and turn the ex Tiger for the last Roos try.

And the 1st grade squad in attendance, a good club thing and as Benji said, IC changing the culture.
