John Henderson was the centre's name from Leigh whom Trevor Cogger played with. Steven Burney, a young lankey 2nd rower also played with us in the lower grades that year. Dane Carter was also an Englishman who played for us as a prop forward in the lower grades, but I think he had played for Cooma the year before. Hew Rees was a Welsh rugby player who played a few a few games for us in the centres in 1987. |

Thanks again so much for your writings Old Magpie Lad, they bring back so many cherished memories I have of the club. I remember watching Lee Crooks debut at Lidcombe Oval. Although not english, didnt we also have Welshman John? Morriarty? I think he converted over from rugby. I think he even captained his country. Or was it Richard? Did he have a brother? Not sure if he also joined wests? |

Lee Crooks played his first game for WESTS at Pratten Park in the under 23's. That was when the NSWRL said that games should be played near the Leagues Club, hence Wests playing a couple of games at Pratten Park. I'm pretty sure that WESTERN SUBURBS GREATEST MAN EVER, the one, the only RICK WAYDE picked him up from the airport at 05:20 hours. He was introduced to the crowd after the game. And went went on to be a great MAGPIE man. Imagine the NSWRL saying to balmain, "play near near your leagues club", these days. They don't have one. I'm fed up. |

Or tecee, you had to have a rectangular playing field. What jokes of criteria. That was Kevin Humphries and co. We are now being shafted by his son Stephen! Im fed up too! |
