Western Suburbs Magpies news and discussion

[joejoe]

sorry should have posted the pics of the new strip

 

[brook]

much better than the last one although I'm not a huge fan of the neckline.

Aaron De Gois is obviously Isaacs bro but is Jarrod Roberts related to Ben?

 

[Gooba]

look out for nick taylor in flegg.. played with him last year in under 18s (group 6 player of the year) hes a freak.. he also backed up for the first grade side playing in the grand final scoring 2 trys.. for the picton Magpies of coarse.. kurt fittlers also a Picton boy..

 

[yappy]

Little Bro - came over from Parra's SG Ball side.

 

[yappy]

I'll second that Gooba. Nick looks like a real find for us and it wouldn't surprise at all to see him playing Premiers in the not too distant. Leo mentioned him and the other winger Rappo for special mention at the Rip trials. Nick came on at the end of the Premiers and looked right at home.

 

[Gooba]

yeah be interesting to see how far he can go.. he played centre for us last year so dont be suprised if u see him there at some stage.. anyone know how kurt went??

 

[yappy]

Kurt played the Premiers trial, but finds himself on the Flegg bench for round 1.

 

[Mighty Tiger]

Wonder how many tries Kaufusi / Richter will bomb for you guys this year?

Must say you guys do have a quick backline and with Oliver in the halves expect some points to be scored this season

The bench has some talent on it as well in PL

Yapster what club is Tyler Aitken from - name rings a bell

 

[yappy]

Action Jackson will go fine for us thanks very much. I've said since 2000 that all the guy needed was some intensive coaching on positional play and he could be a very handy footballer. So far from what I've seen we might owe Folkesy and his team a big thank you. His positional play was fine and his defence was bone jarring. Against the Eels he made about 3 try savers in one passage where they had multiple sets. I have no doubt he'll be in the credit column.

Our bench is very handy indeed. Hoare, Trimarchi and Rysko especially will make a big impact and I'll be very surprised if they aren't 3 of the 4 John uses.

Don't know about Aitken - I'll find out.

tyler aiken was trialing for cronulla flegg made it but then left he came back and tried out for newtown jim beam and didnt make it he then played for university in the illawarra comp but they folded not sure as to where he played after this

 

[yappy]

Seems Tyler might have gone back to the Sharks. That seems to be where we picked him up from.

 

[Spike]

Is Adam Luchetti still with the pies or is he injured? I've noticed that he wasn't listed in the side in this weeks premier league game

 

[yappy]

Luchetti isn't in the final squad.

Tyler Aitken will be a crowd favourite at Campbelltown. Strong boy. Was pushing off players like they weren't there. Nice skill for a centre to have. Plenty of guts too. Go hard son!

 

[mightydragon]

He has apparently gone to Redcliffe.

yeah tyler has great footwork fast and a strong kid but needs to work on those hands

 

[2 True Blues]

Wests definately have an uphill battle this season with that tough draw and the lack of experienced players in their line-up. Hope things pick up for them.
