The undermining of clubs here isn't helping anyones cause , they are doing the best under the circumstances and remember all clubs are run by volunteers, some limited. Can we at least wait until mondays meeting to see what outcomes will prevail before we pass judgement.

I'm looking forward to seeing if the Wests comp gets off the ground as it seems there will be a few 18's and 16's that will step into the comp in the next few years if they can get it sorted.
mate any kids that stepped up to the wests a grade soon had there heads taken off and gave the game up. most but were too scared to make the massive jump of 18s to a grade
whats with all clubs lovinfooty, u play at more clubs than kamahl?
Nice one. Moved a lot and had a fair few mates that played at different clubs. Loved the journey, met some great mates. :cheers:

I went for my jog like I said, Eagle Vale A Grade was training so I would suggest you let your Secretary know of the time and date you train, considering you moved your night so you can get guys whom play Oz Tag can attend training, you only had 15, far from the 32 stated!

you say Eagle Vale has the strongest juniors, but why do you struggle to run a senior team, the last 3 years have seen you lucky to finish the season in seniors, I also seen your star Bundy player, Mahommed will lead the way for your guys, it will be a long season if you have anyone that is half decent! Good Luck

Yeh, sorry Highlander but League Forever is right, it's hard to hold back on phantoms, when before Christmas they had a strong 16-18 team competition and people are still talking it up when it's lucky to be a 4 team comp, this is what we have had to deal with in the past years and it gets frustrating!

I will hold back in future or try too!

sorry highlander i understand what your getting at, but how do you expect us to reply,
it is quiet obvious that you are from Bowral, but please respect my view as a campbelltown
resident, having to put up with what is happening in this area i f you want to bar me or suspend
or ban me i respect that but i am realey sorry that an out of towner can dictate whate people
say about someone elses area when they dont even live within that area.
Do you want to know something highlander, i am a campbelltown ratepayer, & as a parent, coach
& first aider for a wests side in juniors, i & my children will never play in the west comp ever again
if it wasnt for the 3 sides Eagles, Kangaroos & Bulls, i as a campbelltown resident would have already
taken my kids to the group 6 comp long before this. I am really sorry highlander but this is my oppinion
As a moderator & not from this area, you should stop trying to convince us to say what you want us to stay.
Not good to stop peoples opinions, if you are worried about the site been closed, dont worry there i, are plenty
of oppinions like me & think the same way as me. by the way i have been asked a few times who i am with, i have
decided to take me & my family to the roos, i like there history , if i am to be barred, sinbined & silenced for these coments

morning everyone only 2 more sleeps to wait and the new wests a grade gets unwrapped. 12 team a, a reserve and 8 team 3rd grade I reckon, 32 teams! 32 seems to be the magic number

No one is stopping you from having an opinion but are your opinions you present based on fact or rumour ? It seems everyone here is getting upset and opinionated over wests jrl,training numbers ,team nominations,mergers,player transfers etc etc, and is destabilising the effort by those who want to make it work. I think clubs are in the best position to know what players they have and what they don't. Just because people out there have been spying on training numbers from other clubs doesnt mean that their reported low numbers are the end of the world. Some may have work commitments,touch footy, cricket or other training which is affecting attendance.

Like i said countless times, everyone is posing hypotheticals and rumours at the moment with very little fact. Wait until the meeting on monday to see what the outcomes are. Until then keep it factual.

Ps. Highlander knows campbelltown more than you think CP.

As I am relatively new to senior footy I just wanted to ask a hypothetical as it could stuff up a few clubs plans if what I think goes ahead
Wouldn't the Roos and Eagles players need to get clearances I understand that the secretaries would release these player but doesn't it have to get approved by wests I could be way of the mark I just thought that's how it worked so if things were to get held up as that would be a massive load of transfers where does that leave these two clubs?

i would hate to see the ramifications for not releasing any player that is not a defaulter, any player
can ask for a clearance & it has to be granted.
the only legal reason for refusing a clearance is if you owe money (defaulter).
There will be over 220 player putting in for clearances in the next week or 2, so what will be the reasons
for all of these to be denied. i dont think the clubs going to group 6 are too concerned about this as there
clearances will have to be granted.
how are 220 players going to be stopped from playing where ever they want.
If they are denied would this not be a breach of nswrl, wests & nrl constitutions.

Mad Tiger and Burner also All Saints as well, gents thats a bit different to what you blokes have stated on the forum in way of numbers,if wests are seriuos about having a senior comp all these phantom teams nominations need to stop for the better of the game,cambelltown/liverpool needs a viable competition and wests JL should be doing all they can helping clubs get it right by setting some proticals to follow and set deadlines for coaches to be finalized and wests JL should be doing the rounds not fence sitter seeing who has actual got what, i came up here thinking wests had the biggest senior league in NSW next to Penrith and these readings are dissapointing,gee guys get your act together rugby league in the area needs you with GAYAFL and Soccer getting bigger we are losing kids daily from league and not having a viable comp in a western sydney area is just wrong.
Beachbum, what time did you come past and have a look at RSL training? and where did you go to have a look? because if you went down to Wood Park to have a look, then you wouldnt have seen us training, as we are not training at wood park at the moment, cause cricket is still using the oval, and can assure you that there isnt any phantom sides at RSL, we have had 30 odd show up both nights we have had training, so you might want to get your facts right before you start spreading rumors about things, especially when you could be further from the truth. I have heard that ESA ARE getting decent turnouts as well, so stop the negative talk about the wests comp, if you want to be negative go onto the group 6 forum and be negative about the west comp there, cause i think i am speaking for Mad Tiger, All Saints and myself here, but we are sick of the constant negativity from certain people, its not warranted or wanted. If you want to play in group 6, well good on you, we dont have the choice and are going to play the hand we have been dealt, and make the most of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burner some good passion shown,sorry champion but your club secretary must have given my wrong training dates and times??? so were are you boys training at these days given all the reports on council approval im sure they know about it, and maybe to get more numbers down might pay to tell your secretary where and when training is,no harm intended buddy i just went of what i was told good luck this year if you say you have a team then thats great and if your club does have a chioce,choice to let easts and city go at tomorrows meeting for the better of rugby league and save you copping cricket scores when you play them cuase im guessing after you do watch your numbers evapourate after a few touch ups let em go thats your clubs chioce champion!!!!!!!!!
we are training tuesday's and thursdays at minto touch fields, starting at 7/7:30pm (all depends when the bulk of players get there, due to work, oztag etc...) still have alot more to come down, alot of the returning players have been working and playing oztag etc, but as i said we have only had two training sessions and still managed to pull roughly 30 players to both, so again our numbers are looking good. We have had a few players return that didnt play last year, plus a few new players are interested in coming down, so so i cant see why we couldnt field a 1st's, 2nd's and U/18's. Alot of our players are just keen to play with their mates, doesnt matter what competition they are playing in, and they are loyal to the club an each other. The core of these players are the under 18's from the last 2 years that won back to back titles with each other, a feat that i was proud to be part of, and another reason we have the players coming back, they are enjoying their footy and know they have roughly a month and a half to get ready.

hey beachbum, yes collies did win the U/18's 1st division combined comp, but RSL won the U/18's 2nd division combined comp. Mate i wish that the RSL club threw us some money in sponsorship, but the fact is that they dont, their words are that they would have to sponsor all the divisions (soccer, cricket, netball etc....), so we rely on sourcing our own sponsors and fundraising to fund our club. As for cricket, they have younger teams training on Wood Park usually, and as it is booked to cricket they get priority, that and we try hard to get the ground into condition for the season, so we try and stay off it during pre-season th help with this.

guys in my opionion and based on burners input that his 18's b team are stepping up to a grade (big jump) would wests not be better running say 21's or 23's this year instead of an a grade senior comp,given all the postings and uncertianty and from what i have heard most wests clubs that had 3 rd grade teams last year were packed full of under 23/21 players anyway,might make sense to run a 23's or 21's for 2011 and then try aim for a senior a grade comp in 2012 just my thoughts and when you have the dominate likes of titans and all saints up against say 18 b sides from last year it just doesnt make sense and the area needs viable comp so maybe starting at a 23 or 21 age level will be a start to biuld for a strong a grade comp in years to come just my opionion what are your thoughts???
best idea you have had beachbum, unlucky you moving up from coast to c'town normally its the other way around well come join the wests a grade and you will soon know youre a fish outta water :rofl:
its a good idea why not go 18s 21s As? minto esa collies all saints ing rsl titans all have a lot of kids not ready to take men on, 21s will help build a grade over coming years :clap: you must have stayed away from that stuff the surfers smoke beachbum :agree:
