Trouble within the club?

[Thewestisbest]

Ok great so no dramas just boys being boys.
Schu will smash himself doing fitness and be back better than ever.
The boys are all sweet together and they'll do the job on the donkeys on Fri night.
I feel better now thanks Josh A.

We can only hope Mick.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Definitely, but how many of them were let go because we have an association with Blacktown? The club has been second rate in its retention for a while now.

You see how I said “I daresay…”?

That means I suspect (I “dare say”) it is so.

This assumption is based on the Western Sydney pathways program set up by the Fultons to bring players from outwith the Northern Beaches to MWSE.

In case you are unaware, part of this program made the decision to NOT recruit from Northern Beaches clubs, hence my use of the term “frozen out”.

Calm down man... You'll give yourself an aneurism at this rate. Now let me get this right. You are claiming that if the next big thing pops up on the Northern Beaches, Manly won't attempt to sign him? Is that really what you're getting at?

Dce usually says daresay in interviews, I like it.

Thank you champion.

There's quite a few NRL players currently we have let slip through our fingers from the northern beaches that I can think of.

Clint Gutherson
Bailey Simonsson
Jacob Preston
Freddie Lussick
Sam Verrills

Among others in our system from a young age albeit not technically from the beaches

Jesse Ramien
Nicho Hynes
Cade Cust*
Jared Waera Hargreaves
Liam Knight
Luke Garner

There's some real quality in that list, even the lesser names could probably slot straight into our squad somewhere. I can understand the need or advantages in developing players locally but it's no good if you don't identify them and keep them. Something I think the club has struggled with for a while now. Well at least the retention side of it.

In relation to halves recruitment, how TF did we manage to give Nicho,Hastings the flick and bypass Cust only to end up with Blake Green, Croker, Johns, Schu and now Flanno.
Thats a lot of bad decisions right there.

 

[Eagles4Life]

Yeah, you’ve never been here before, you’re brand spanking new for sure 😂

I guess there has always been a bit of Biff in the West @47MVEagle . Maybe it is time to bring that back.

 

[Ned]

This is the big misconception about blacktown though, maybe it's more a lack of knowledge of the geography of suburbs out west that's causing the confusion, not one player named above is from blacktown workers, blacktown the area or even penrith rl nursery in which blacktown sits under. All these boys are from Fairfield or Parramatta jrl. So people keep using these players as an account of what blacktown have provided us, when in fact it is actually Nada other than a few fringe first graders that play cup

So why they our feeder team then?

Well it all stems from another bad decision. Zoolander

 

[Thewestisbest]

Yeah exactly! BringBacktheBiff for sure eh, mate?

Can someone please explain to me what this lunatic is bloody saying here? He has been like a yappy little Schnauzer, nipping away at my ankles since stalking my first post.

Stop and breath, go eat a biscuit or something.

You posted that you don't like all the bruh ha ha that players carry on with since the punch was outlawed. I responded that as Reggie would say (Reg Reagan, Matty Johns, Cooper's old man,) that perhaps the NRL needs to bring back the biff. Far out.

Has anyone seen DCE and @47MVEagle in the same room? Hmmmmmm......

 

[KNUCKLES]

Well I can only presume, the decision was made as a long term investment/gain rather than a short one. Any decent juniors that are coming of age or of age when Btown became our feeder club, would of already had eyes on them by penrith probably for quite some time and signed by St marys. I feel the Fulton's were thinking further into the future, where our eyes will be on kids coming through workers from a young age and up the age groups where we can identify the talent there first. They'd probably feel more obliged to stay with their junior club through loyalty also if they knew there was a pathway to the NRL rather than just the mainstream option of playing massey for st marys in the area. Blacktown hasn't given us anything now but I feel like it could in the future, to what extent is anyone's guess I suppose. But with the amount of participation levels at every club out here, there will be some good players come through at some point. Well that's my thoughts anyways

Oh pluck a duck. I've been reading certain threads on this forum sporadically for a few weeks now. You are as predictable as my bowels moving in the morning Shakespeare. I notice you love coming third man when there is a dispute on here. Perhaps I should refer to you as big Sammy Thaiday.

Whatever floats your boat @Thewestisbest I am sure you've had lots of other names as well though

I daresay, this would have to be one of the most outlandish disclosures I have rea in a while. Imagine believing a football club anywhere would decide not to recruit from their own locality.

I sure have mate. Hercules, Charles, Terry, and Bronson to name a few. Call me whatever you want.
