As usual, the magpies lost.

Why? Because Balmain have taken all our players. Once a player makes first grade for a few matches then he is taken by Balmain. All due to your so-called "Supercoaches" ideas.

What a load of codswallop.

Balmain are 3rd or 4th on the table because of OUR PLAYERS playing for you.

Bring on next season I say.

Bloody frustrating I know Dallas,why can't all the players go to Wests?,even though Balmain keep taking them,Wests keep finding more.
Sort of like when Manly use to keep taking from us.

Is it a crappy thing? Yes it is.

Who is to blame? Really Magpies have nowhere to lay their blame but strictly at the feet of their own belligerent board. The board whose representatives storm out of meeting rather than push the Magpies case in said meetings. It is of course much easier to grandstand and make shock exits from meetings than actually do the job that the members of the club elected them to do

So only two Wests blokes playing for BRET. Balmain have hardly taken all our players as suggested by Dallas.

The facts are 1 rouge member of the Wests Group of the JV's Board obstained from voting, handing the power to the Balmian side. That's why the other Wests Board members walked.

In disgust!

Wrong ….only players contracted to the Wests Tigers play for BRET, and once the Wests Tigers are paying their contracts they are no longer Wests Magpies players, and therefore the JV should decide where those players play when not required for NRL.
Any coach would want his players playing for one club and not split between the two…don’t blame Tim Sheens because of some old dinosaurs who couldn’t see that the premier league sides needed to be merged…
NRL and Premier League (Wests Tigers) all junior levels below that (Balmain and Wests Magpies), that’s the way it should have been.

Yeah I know how it works. Seems to me the maggie supporters are against their juniors going up to the NRL.

Just the minority that still think they will once again be a stand alone team in an elite competition.

I'm actually glad players like Rocky can develop there skills at a professionally run club at Concord.
