Official Wenty Magpies 2011 thread.

and the small fact that the 'reggies' team now is wentworthville, wear black and white, have a magpie for a mascot and dont play at Parramatta - they're a completely different entity.

While I used to check out premier league or reserves when I could and followed their scores, I really couldnt give a rats about whether or not wenty lose - because it aint Parra.

It still is parramattas feeder club, it is parramatta premier league just wearing a different jersey. Same players, same coaching staff, just don't play at parramatta stadium.

I support them, its where our players are coming from.

Well, they're not a completely different entity - the NSW Cup side is a joint-venture between Parramatta and Wenty Leagues. It makes perfect sense financially.

I've always enjoyed watching the lower divisions whether there's a team named Parramatta in them or not.

Yeah Bundy Cup which is in effect the Old Metro Cup.

Yep and a semi-pro division at this level has been around since the original Second Division / Inter-Metropolitan League in the 1960s - just with different names - and Wenty has played at that level almost continuously since that time (with a few years in the Illawarra competition). It's existence has nothing to do with the move to the NSW Cup as it currently is - i.e. contested by Joint-venture / feeder teams.

doesn't change what i was saying though, does it?

Really all thats different now is
Reggies = NSW Cup and
JBC = Bundy and they play seperate to Flegg/Firsts..

if they played in Blue and Gold and called themselves the Eels, they would still play away from Firsts and NYC and in line with Bundy Cup, and people would still not give a rats about them!

 

[Stagger eel]

even if they were the eels who played before the fg side as the NYC team currently do they would still attract aout 10% of the turnout as punters would rather be at the bar or turn up 30 minutes before fg kick off..

following the juniors or the game at grass roots level isn't very fashionable which is why plenty of people rely on people like Nikki, MITS and WC to keep them posted on the progress of future first graders.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

So now I am not fashionable. Meh I have been called worse.

your alternative mate, you are the sonic youth of popular music...:lol:

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Who the hell are Sonic Youth?

 

[forward pass]

Wenty drew with Cabra 20 all.

Karlos Filiga played and was very impressive.

So he was impressive playing reserve for reserves?? Doesn't exactly make me excited.

:lol: just google them...

what else are you asking of him from the weekend?

 

[Stagger eel]

well, would you rather me just say that he played??? :? and also he hadn't played for sometime and was on the field for the whole 80...

I'm not expecting this guy to turn up in fg soon all I'm doing is stating what i saw, and you'll probably shouldn't get excited just yet.

 

[JessEel]

Anyone who plays as a direct Eels feeder will always attract interest and SHOULD always attract support.
As per usual, its the reggies team that plays with the most passion and enthusiasm. It's always an easier ground to get to and free entry (if you're a STH).

While i would never ditch Firsts to watch Wenty play, i certainly have no reserves saying i am a big supporter of them!! Hell, people probably enjoy the games more, cos there's no pressure! and you get that down to earth, park footy feel!

 

[forward pass]

well, would you rather me just say that he played??? :? and also he hadn't played for sometime and was on the field for the whole 80...

No - You did the right thing as it is worthwhile information and I personally appreciate this type of info. I was just stating that we should not get excited given the standard he was playing.

Not having a shot at you. I would love to see him play FG!

 

[ianlovesparra]

As stagger said he hasn't played for a while. And to play 80 minutes was a good effort and from what i saw he wont be playing bundy cup for much longer.

For anyone who is interested, the replay of that game will be on fox sports 2 Wednesday 5pm.

 

[Stagger eel]

this was the side chosen on Tuesday, if they can't get within 10 of Aukland what does that say about blokes like Paulo, Lewis, Wright and Horo who are trying crack it for a first grade spot???

and people whinge about Lowrie being in the side...

 

[Stagger eel]

it says that they too deserve to be promoted to NRL so that they may enjoy the pleasures of being hammered from pillar to post by keyboard jockeys :thumn
