Blue Devil go back where you belong and are supposedly happy.
Only 3 rounds to the finals series. Will be great.
I like the look of an All Saints vs Campbelltown Warriors grand final in A Grade at the moment. What does everyone think?
Reserves will be Titans vs LCC and U/18s I like ESA vs LCC.
Bobcat, you and your cohorts only have yourselves to blame for the state of the Wests senior competition. There is no point wasting your breath bagging the three new Group 6 clubs this year. (I have no affiliation or links to any of these clubs.) They weighed up their options, looked at past seasons and decided to do what was best for their players and supports. They aren't "traitors" - the real traitors are the people put into executive and management positions, who betrayed the trust they were given and mismanaged the Wests' senior competition over the years.

The merged comp failed because two management committees, with different agendas, were unable to "get over themselves" and work together. The comp was thrown together at the last minute, with no planning or forethought, and the rules were made up as they went along. The Group 6 clubs were betrayed by their management committee who went against the clubs' wishes and forced them to participate in a bodgey comp for 2 years.

Finally the G6 Management Committee decided to listen to the clubs and pulled out of the merged comp. There were several reasons for this and (finally) doing what the clubs' wanted was only a minor issue. Self interest played a big part in their change of position. The clubs were very happy to accept the Eagles, Roos (an original G6 club anyway) & Bulls into the comp. I'd imagine the G6 clubs would've been happy for any other club to apply as well, as long as they were willing to abide by G6's rules and code of behaviour - they are certainly not elitist.

On another note.......
I find West Tigers concern about the Wests & Group 6 senior comps laughable. Where have they been for the last 10 years? Certainly not in the area promoting Rugby League and supporting the local junior & senior competitions! Ask Camden Juniors about the response they got from West Tigers last year when they were trying to organise a promotional day. Luckily, the Eels didn't have the same disinterset in junior RL and were very happy to help out. You can't claim a "territory" when it suits you and totally ignore them when it doesn't. If the Dragons or Roosters (or any other NRL clubs) show an interest in the south western Sydney area then good on them!

Any club's management committee's job is to represent the people who trusted them to run the club, therefore they need to do what is best for their club - their players & supporters. If that means looking for a better managed and more viable competition, then they have a duty to investigate and take up that option, if it's the best thing for the club. If the petty, under-handed do-do that the Eagles & Roos have had to endure this year from the Wests JL is any indication of the JL's management "style", then it makes their decision to "jump ship" to Group 6 very easy to understand.
Read this comment above Bobdown, excellent write up that looks like its from someone that is a passionate about the game and area. but your reply is laughable, its again someone from the Eagles and Roos that has hijacked the forum, there is a lot of people that show no support for the current structure in Campbelltown on this forum but it just must be the 3 clubs, I think your in for a surprise at the end of the year, lets see the loyal wests clubs standing firm, there were a few at the start of this year but were are they now, look at this forum, how many supporters backing you guys now! :correct:

Bobcat, Bobcat, Bobcat you seem to know plenty, please direct me to the play and train rule. You seem to think its funny that over 200 players have been forced to train elsewhere, is that the best you have, reading your comments i do not see anything that would tell me how you yourself would improve the comp in Campbelltown, i am not sure who or which club you are with, but is it not embaressing that well established Campbelltown clubs do not play here or train here in Campbelltown.

I see you put comments in the local paper having a shot at my club the Eagles, so then i go looking for something anything that promotes the senior comp in Campbelltown, do i find anything, no i do not, do you bag the 3 clubs for doing what is best for there clubs, yes you do. What is it that you do for the game, how are you promoting your comp, what are you doing for future senior players, nothing that is what you are doing, nothing but having a go at 3 clubs who are proudly flying the flag for Campbelltown against all the pot shots from the detractors like yourself, why dont you have a good look at the wonderful work these 3 clubs are doing and then perhaps your narrow minded self may actually come up with an idea for the good of the game and for future success, less time bagging and more time actually doing something may actually get you somewhere.

I don’t often bag the Tigers but this player I was very disappointed that didn’t get picked up by the Wests Tigers, Tim playing in our 18's Grand Final side the year prior had an amazing season, great young man, good attitude and trained hard, Tim made the Bundy side the year later and as I watched Tim Lafai have the game of his life making the Windsor Wolves centers look like little school kids as he toyed with them in attack, Tim set up the first 2 tries and scored the 3rd himself, he was on fire, Peter Mullholland approached me saying we will have him signed by Monday, Tigers response was "we have our quota of centers" another club junior lost from our area like Jarryd Hayne, Will Mataka, Peni Tagive, Tyrone Faligia.

I think BD if you look over many years the area has lost so many talented kids to other areas, and good on these clubs for giving them a go, one understands that they cannot fit them all in but gee have a look at what they have let go. Who is held responsible for this????

G'Day guys,

Today i have been passed on some interesting news involving to local footy clubs as per below.

A very good mate of mine has told me that the ESA club has had a meeting with the WSDJRL CEO to thrash out the under 18's treatment in 2011 and outlined that they will be taking the under 18 age group of thier club over to Group 6 season. This meeting was suppose to be in confidence and i am lead to believe that the WSDJRL CEO was ropable and and when pressed by ESA management what will change in 2012 the CEO reply was we will sort it out after the Grand Final this season.
As it is the CEO has let the cat out of the bag about ESA intensions to other WSDJRL clubs and one secretary in particular is letting all in sundry aware that she was told by the CEO that ESA are taking the under 18's to Group 6 in 2012, So much for a meeting been hold in confidence i guess?
Also other news from the CEO to come out was Minto Cobras will not be entering senior teams in 2012, Looks as if the WSDJRL as mentioned over and over again is in real turmiol.

Cheers Guys and go the Sea Eagles tonight in a thriller!!!

Your silvertails didn't win! But what timing about player signings, Jake non signing has seen locals fuming and then the article in the Telegraph, what is happening to Footy in this Region, it's a shambles! Eagles, Roos, Bulls vacating the area and know ESA in not so secret meetings about going to Group 6. It just gets worse!!!!!

All,

Please ensure that you have the correct facts before insinuating who you may think "the one particular secretary" is.

Hey all; I have some gos -- I heard that Bulldogs are changing their seniors name to South Western Bulldogs.................... in 2012.
:laughing: :laughing: cant see stalwarts like camo and the old boys from the club allowing that - maybe its to attract more sponsors cause we have sucked the guts out of the areas $$$$ without camo going around they will struggle and be lucky to have seniors uness the UFC steps in again with some funding ;) ;)
as for the old boys....well you would have to be an active member to have a real say I would think.

It's a dame shame, but Bulldogs are gone, at a junior and senior level, how many teams do they have? Tigers have taken all the kids in that area and JL let it happen!
