Alllowing BR players to play for Wests is a step in the that direction.

Just a matter of time.

As time goes on more Magpies will get on the winning wagon of the Wests Tigers

I believe it is beneficial for the Wests Tigers to have both the Magpies and Balmain to choose players from.

You have twice as many potentially pro players to choose from.

You already do it's called Jersey Flegg.

Its a matter of picking the best talent from these two teams to play in the Premier League team.

Here here !! totally agree. If we are to move ahead as one entity PL needs to be a unified " ELITE " group capable of WALKING into First Grade when injuries or game plans call for them to be utilized. A kind of "RAW TALENT REFINERY" .Flegg down should remain seperate , feeding the PL team with the exiting young players from both regions . Then the combined strength of our juniors can be moulded into a cohesive , professional , confident unit or FG "B" side.

There are enough players in the local Macarthur region to have a quality stand alone premier league team. Why reduce their opportunities to play 1st class senior football.

The only advantage of having 1 Premier League side would be if that side did dominate the competition meaning that all players that would be called apon to play 1st grade would do so with their confidence sky high. This would be even better if infact both Balmain and the Magpies could get their sides into the top 4??? Not going to happen this season, but it is possible?

No doubt there is tonnes of talent out west but the Magpies cannot afford to keep them all. Its being going on for ages and probably will continue.

The Roosters, Melbourne, Dogs etc will pay amazing amounts of money for young players.

The Magpies can only afford to keep a few high quality youngsters.

Therefore if you put those high quality players with Balmains you end up with a high quality Premier League team.

Also if you have one PL team, the Magpies will have more dollars to keep their kids in Jersy Flegg.

It makes total sense.

Flegg players wouldn't likely be up to NRL standard, but some PL players are.

Its not all about the NRL comp!

Its about giving footballers a chance to play rep footy and the opportunity to be the best they can, what ever that level is. The Macarthur needs a full time rep team at sate level.

Why doesnt Ashfield deserve a team in the "state level comp"?

It is after all Wests birthplace.

Premier league.


:lol:
Its secondary, you know what that means?

98% of people in the Macarthur region would consider the Wests Tigers their team not the reserve grade side, so I don't think the Macarthur region needs a 'reserve' grade side.

Players will get a chance to play rep footy in a Wests Tigers reserve grade team.

The system is working well as it is. All I can see is PLENTY of juniors coming through both clubs, why change it? Dont fix what aint broken.

Now you might say that neither premier league team is doing well, but so what? It hasnt stunted the developement of Collis,Fulton,Gibbs,Farah,Harrison,Halatua etc.

Bottom line is that one club doesnt want to do it so why push it when it's not necessary?

You think the people in Macarthur are happy with only getting 3 games a year?

And yes, we do need a 'reserve grade side'

If you call throwing $500 000 down the drain not broken then I suppose it is.

I'd prefer that money went to the Wests Tigers for keeping these young guns at the club.

The money that would be saved would allow six games to be played at Cambo

I'm sure that keeping Wests Magpies a stand alone club in the Premier League would make the difference? Not!

If Wests Tigers won't give our area its true representation, I'll put my support behing the magpies anyday!!!

Point your finger at Cambo Council, not WT's.

As I said before, wheres Ashfields?:roll:
