Welcome Jollysole. I'd suggest you read some of the earlier posts - that will answer many of your questions. All Saints started training last night with 25 turning up in the rain including several new faces. Still plenty of confirmed players to turn up in the coming sessions. The coming weeks will decide who has and who hasn't senior teams. Senior Team nominations close 4 March 2011. Does anyone know if the Bundy Cup is on again this year - I've heard rumours it's on/off ????

How many 18's teams are up for wests this year anyone know and will it be has strong without the Group sides this year and will they merge to Sydney or Parra if not enough teams form - Mittagong had a gun side last year and were just as good as any west side i saw play.
Miitagong had a decent u/18 side this year, 6 of those starting players were moss vale u/18 players though, one of which won the gary dowling rising star award last year.

Not sure of the structure of wests jrl but why doesnt someone or a committee group form a west srl comp with jnrs running the u6- u16 and a seperate snr controlling body control the 18s,3rds reserves and firsts ? Jnr & Snr leagues are very different beasts and should be run accordingly. Theres two seperate group 6 leagues jnr & snrs controlled by two seperate managements why cant something similar happen with Wests ? :dunno:

Yeah but that happens in small towns STU

There were Bowral Jnrs in Mossy vales snr squads last year just like there were Mossy jnrs in our squads aswell.

warriors78- wont matter what club rookes involved in as he clearly states that he will be joining the group 6 comp as from his other comments. i dont think anyone has faith in the west comp much anymore as they are loosing their credability and what little they had.

hi all back from my sin binning I do not under stand why i was sin bined
I was called a fool & an internet troll, but using numb nut seems to be more offensive
& i have seen these words used by other people. every second comment on the wests forum
are negative how have mine been anymore negative to warrent a short spell. I take all of what
people say to me with a grain of salt, as they would do with my postings. i did not mean to offend
anyone, its all friendly banter to me, as i am a also from campbelltown, i am a father who has
children playing in the wests junior comp, i am also a coach, first aider for my club, i also want the
wests seniors comp to happen & be successful, so that our juniors will have somewhere to play
when they get to seniors. some of my posting are out of frustration with whats going on, i have
not deliberatly try offend any one if i did i am sorry.

couch potato- are you trying to be funny ?? but haha they do have a southern highlands train line its a great sunday trip you should try it sometime! :D


madtiger- good luck with your bus trips that would cost a fortune $400 a pop 18 rounds and no homegames :L


rooke- no one can answer this question it has not been discussed all people want to talk about is the 1st grade and reserves but what about the 18 remember they are the future and they do mattter and if they were to stand alone in the west comp they would fall apart within 1 to 2 years and this will not solve your open grades problem!


allsaints- you might be able to answer this! are you part of the west sub board for seniors? how much power do yous have? when are you going to talk about the IMPORTANT issues that we all want to know? and what is the minimum sides that you will run with in all grades?
what are the plans for 2011 and 2012 ? no affence but these plans should have been put in place a while ago when the comp split early november! and when is your next meeting? it needs to be before febuary otherwise it might be a case of the horse has already bolted!
Yes lol i was been funny, but have since found out that no 1 on here has a sence of
humor, as i was suspended from posting for 2 days, am still unsure why i was sin bined
but watch what you say, as you are not aloud to be funny crack jokes or have an oppinion
as this may get you kicked off.
it seem to me some people can say whatever they like, but the rest of us cant.

club that has senior teams, no one is telling us what is going to happen yet & i am sick of waiting, i want my children
in a club that has seniors & as my present club dont & will not have seniors, my children & i are looking for a new club.

Also heard a rummor from the glenquarie inn that mac fields will not field any senior sides, as most of there players
have dispursed to other clubs.

Hey Couch, best thing I can say is encourage your club to form their own seniors committee. All Saints started their 1st A Grade in 2001. We did this by getting people in place that had been invloved in senior footy for many years. In 2008, we had a disaturous year. The structure fell apart and although people at the club did their best to keep the team together, unfortunately they were not able to finish the season.
In 2009, we refromed the seniors committee with our club people and some of the old boys who are All Saints players from way back, we formed the a 7 man seniors committee,Named ALL SAINTS as our chairman, recruited Alan Fry as our coach who inturn got me and a couple of other boys out of retirement to help with all these young kids. 2009 we made the DNC cup, 2010 we entered two A grade teams for the first time in our history.All of this because we got people involved who understood A grade footy and the structure required to be succesful.
You seem to have been invloved in the past with seniors, I would encourage you to get involved with your club. All our boys now are just keen to wear green and gold. Many received offers from our neighbours the titans but Im only aware of one who may show up in a blue Jersey.

By the way couch, which club were you involved with last year?

In regards to my mate All Saints, he is on the seniors committee and lives and breathes local footy. I am positive that he will make sure that the Wests Seniors committe will do the right thing by our club and also by all other clubs. At the end of the day, we all just want to see Seniors Sunday footy happening on local grounds from Hillier Oval Liverpool all the way out to Oswald at Macarthur.

Lets be positive and talk about footy. If your worried about your club, go to the committee meetings and give them ideas how to have a sucessful A Grade team.

Blue Devil has done it at Easts, Campbelltown City have done it, Jed at Minto is doing it, All Saints are well under way, Titans are there also, and of course Eaglevale are pointed in the right direction.

This year is about re building. Lets get on with the footy.

What do you want poeple to talk about, footy has been discused in every post i have read & every post i have put,
i played in the campbelltown comp for a numbers of years & am now married & have children playing in the juniors,
this the perfect forum for expressing my opinions & anyone else to express theirs, i have only stated the obvious.
As long as i do not insult, de-fame or swear, why cant i express my concerns.
this is the problem with rugby league at the moment, were not allowed to talk about the real issues of why our game
is not moving forward. If you cant ask other clubs, your local councils, or your goverining bodies, who do you ask, this forum
allows the people who would not normally get a say, to have there oppinion.
Just remember this whole forum is based on rumor & opinion if you take peoples oppinons away you have nothing but rumors
As an ex player & now as a father i have earnt the right to finnaly have a say.

The moderators here are trying to keep this forum an open discussion as possible and despite our attempts in our posts to tone things down they are simply ignored. This website was shutdown for 6 months because frustrations, turned to attacks, then slander and defamation. Users emotions spiralled out of control, so what we the moderators are doing is trying to keep people emotions in check for the good of the forum and preferably being proactive rather than reactive. Its ok to have an opinion but present it in a constructive manner not destructive , vindictive or malicious way .

Most of us because we are behind anonimity for privacy reasons dont know what other personalities are and therefore it is hard for others to pick up your intentions, using the emoticons often wil help your arguement you put forth in a post to eliminate any confusion.Couch potatoe , finishing up others have been warned also so no one is immune .

Hey couch, welcome back i share your frustration with your comments about West's, it seems to me its the same as usual in the lead up to the season, but i guess all you can do is try and find out from your club.

Bigshow your comments about Minto and Jed are very funny.....

If i were in the west's comp, id be asking how the new club can take all the players if the comp is re-building i would think this has not helped one bit....

Have to Say I Agree with you Mate there are probably 3 or 4 Club in that particular basin that look to struggle with numbers with LCC a strong club in the Juniors dominating the area and we are going to add another club in that to the equation in that area that will further drain on these smaller clubs .... :cstars: it just doesn't make sense

Have you put your hand up to help with your clubs committee Like Big show said get involved let them know your thoughts and concerns you might have ideas that they haven't thought of or have the manpower to put into action

Disco i understand where your coming from, didnt mean to cause trouble, may have had 1 to many that night.

jollysole, rooke, League-Forever, big show, i have spoken to my club many times, cant seem to get anywhere
to tell you the truth i have allready made up my mind to go to another club, i am not going to tell you who i am with now
as i dont want tarnish the club in any way. I am looking at other clubs & been from campbelltown i am looking very closely
at Eagles & roos but have not ruled out group 6 clubs, i am however leaning towards the roos as i have found the history
behind this club has got me very interested, what i can tell you right now is that i will definatently be with a club that is in the
group 6 comp.

I am looking forward forward to the start of the season, i am also looking forward to having a proper steak sandwhich & a beer
while i watch the game, will be better than the over priced rubber food you get from the stadium.

Hey mad tiger, is it just tiger from now on due to your merger.
are your seniors now the eaglevale tigers.
Sorry mate, but i have no idea what ur reffering to....

All i know is that Eaglevale don't need to merge with anyone, we have approx 30 players who are keen to play with us. Including the majority of last year's squad...
RSL do not need to merge either, we start training Tuesday 18th, and will have enough players there to field 1st and 2nd grade teams. Players are not going to eaglevale, or Mt Annan or the titans, i have been talking to last years 3rd grade side and the 18's from last year, they are all coming back, and we have last years 16's coming through to fill the 18's slot, so we are looking fairly strong.

Good news "Burner'. All Saints will have two sides, word on the street is that Liverpool Titans have two sides, "Mad Tiger" has advised on this forum that Eaglevale have had 30 players at training and are aiming for two sides. Has anyone out there heard from or is involved with Collies, Minto, Macquarie Fields, Ingleburn Bulldogs, Warriors, Macarthur Saints, Hinchinbrook, LCC ????
A meeting of the Wests Senior Management Committee on Monday 24 January will be a guide to who is and who isn't fielding senior teams and the structure of the 2011 Wests senior competition - only 9 more sleeps.
