RE: East Campbelltown Eagles RLFC – Media Release

East Campbelltown Eagles RLFC travelled to Lidcombe Oval to play Asquith Magpies in the Round 11 Sydney Shield Competition, The Eagles centre Philipo Sauvao had terrible luck when he was injured in the very first set of six with a compound fracture to his thumb.

The Eagles looked sharp from the start and didn’t take long to run in first points at the 8 minute mark when flying winger Tala Mapesone scored an individual try from the scrum and Harding converted for a 6 Nil lead, 2 minutes later is was the Eagles again when Chris Standing got a favourable bounce that seen him score under the post and again Harding converted. The Eagles forward pack was led by Leigh Middlemiss up front and he carried the Eagles over for the next try at the 19th minute, again Harding converted and the Eagles raced away to an 18 nil lead. Stephen Harding was next to score for the Eagles when he carried 3 Asquith players over the line to score near the uprights and again his conversion was successful to take the Eagles to a 24 nil lead.

The Eagles defence was enthusiastic and fast putting pressure on any Asquith attack, Asquith once again turning over early possession and the eagles capitalized when captain Wayde Dunley went through a gaping hole to score for the Eagles and Harding conversion was successful for a 30 Nil lead, Tala Mapesone scored his second for the day and Harding missing his conversion from out wide for a 34 Nil lead, Sam Hoare finished of the half with a try with 3 minutes remaining and the Eagles went into the half time break with a commanding 40 Nil lead.

The second half started a lot stronger for the Asquith Magpies and the Eagles losing a number of players through injury, PJ Hunt left the field with a pulled hamstring, Sam Hull with a shoulder injury and Ronnie Palumbo with a knee strain left the Eagles with no bench, Asquith worked hard and was rewarded with the first two tries of the second half to bounce back to 40 to 10, The Eagles took no time to respond when Leigh Middlemiss scored his second try hitting a gaping hole and beating the fullback to score, Harding’s conversion was successful, the Eagles had further injury blows to Brenton Cowan and Limoni Kamuta leaving the Eagles with only 11 players to finish the game, never less the Eagles still managed to run in another 3 tries to Fusi Toutai, Uati Isaako and Leigh Middlemiss bagged his hat trick, with Steve Harding converting another 2 goals for the Eagles to run out impressive winners 62 – 10

Best for the Eagles where: Leigh Middlemiss, Rob Neave, Stephen Harding and Wayde Dunley

Try Scorers

Sam Hoare
Fusi Toutai
Wayde Dunley
Uati Isaako
Chris Standing
Stephen Harding
Tala Mapesone 2
Leigh Middlemiss 3

Goals
Stephen Harding 9 from 11

Next week’s match:
The Eagles will take on Auburn Warriors this Saturday the 14th of June at Campbelltown Stadium with the kick off at 1.15pm, Followed by Wests Magpies at 3pm

10 West Tigers players played for the magpies on the weekend, I was recently told players are leaving the Wests RMC squad left right and centre, apparently they have no halves what so ever left with both half's joining a long list of players quitting the club,What I do not understand is why is this happening? and why are no Easts players moving up, there must be something wrong for players to be leaving and others preferring to play a lower grade??? Especially with a host of former NYC and State Cup players in the Easts squad? This situation makes no sense to me?

Are you suggesting that Eagles only entered into an arrangement with Wests RMC for their own betterment? and that they would be happy to take excess players from Wests but not reciprocate?

Those players have been there done that ! Its time for someone else to step up maybe .Remember the NSW cup 1/2 back is a East Campbelltown player so player are stepping up .SO why is it Eagles problem and not West.Eagles have a least 4 players from the 2012 side playing at the moment .

When Eagles start stating they want to play Sydney Shield, move up to RMC in the future and be a part of the best comps it is because they want to create pathways for their players, but when the opportunity comes it means breaking up the team. Moving players up will mean getting players from Moorebank and impeding their quest to be seen as successful in everything they do.....how will that look?

I will pass on what was passed to me by a club representative, here goes and don't shoot the messenger:

Our players have the opportunity to move up to RMC and higher if they have aspirations to do so, and a large number of players have done that and are at wests at the moment, they are: Michael Stevens, Fred Tavega, Tom Morrison, Sean Craig, Dayne Craig, and Mason Talolua, not a bad amount of player talent already. These players still have the drive to go higher and congratulations to Michael Steven's for doing just that, now playing State Cup.

Leo has made it clear he wants to develop players who want to go further, he wants players that want to give the NRL a chance and if you look at the majority of our squad they have been there and done that, these players are happy playing with mates and training two nights a week,

The club is happy playing Sydney Shield and our relationship with Wests is working well, considering the false facts placed on this forum, Wests still have a strong playing roster and send us 3 or 4 players every week if needed, I'm sure if they where so short we wouldn't get these players. If Wests ever take the move up to state cup we would then look at moving up to RMC, but at the moment things are working well between both parties.

Pastrami, you have always seem to have a jealousy regarding our club, our club is going strong and the guys are playing great footy, we are attracting a lot of talent, and any talent has the opportunity to play RMC.

Me jealous? Au contraire!

Just trying to keep you guys accountable for your actions. On one hand you are commended for being pro-active, community minded and RL focused, but on the other its all about numero uno and bugger anyone else on how you get there.

Think I have been misunderstood, my point isn't about the Easts Campbelltown Eagles, their players or their officials..It is about the Wests Magpies and the point that near 10 players have left in the space of the last month or so and the players from their squad whom have played for the Eagles are the players on the outer with the coach, this information was told to me by a player who is one of the ones to have left and in fact has joined another club.
My point with the Eagles was, if perhaps things were not in 'turmoil' at the wests club, why wouldn't a Eagles player step in for a game or two? help out and make a couple extra quid$ ? Reason being, is not 'been there, done that' its because they don't give a hoot for the coach. There is obviously a problem going on with players and coaching personnel at the Magpies, to be short 10-15 players since round 1,having majority of them moving on and a few preferring to play for the eagles.

Our club hasn't had or know of any player that wants to stay with us full time, quite the opposite, we find players that come from Wests to us just don't have the same intensity and normally a little bit upset that they have been dropped down to us, its something that we have to manage, players quickly work out the culture that we expect in our club, most players now come back with better attitudes and as I said the relationship between the Eagles and the Magpies is working strong.

I haven't seen or know of 10 players leaving as you stated and know that Wests Magpies had only 6 Wests Tigers players, and then you take 1 Magpies player that has gone to Wests Tigers State Cup, so I don't think its what your saying. We still had 3 Wests Players on the weekend and if they where in form probably could of played for Wests.

You are always going to get injuries this time of year so that hasn't helped but both team are in the top 5 so you couldn't complain on that

Iv had to do a little research now to back up my information.
Now my maths may not up be 100% but to me, this is 10?
1. Sam Aiga
2. Tom Satterthwaite - Wests Tigers NYC
16. Trent Jennings - West Tigers State Cup
25. Daniel Abou-Sleiman - West Tigers State Cup
5. Corey Brown - West Tigers State Cup
6. Jack Madden - West Tigers State Cup
7. Jacob Folent - West Tigers NYC
12. Shane Lalogafau
9. Dayne Craig
10. Tunui Maurangi
11. Mason Taloula
3. Rusty Bristow
4. Nu Akeripa

8. Sam Hollis - West Tigers State Cup
13. Sonny Bristow - West Tigers State Cup
17. Luke Williams - West Tigers State Cup
18. Andy Fiagatusa - West Tigers State Cup

Who are the injured players for the Magpies?
Other then Stevens moving up, there is three players named in Rugby Club line ups, two playing A Grade (not for Moorebank) ,two playing in the CRL, one for Asquith, two for Burwood, one for Kingsgrove, as well as one being mentioned on another forum to be with Newtown Jets..
But I may be incorrect ,if you say all is well,all is well :cheers: :magpies:

Accountable for what actions?

being a strong pro active club on and off the field, we are proud with the work we do within the Community and very proud of the way our players conduct themselves on and off the field, nothing to be accountable off.

You wont admit it but our club is the leader with working in with the community and its needs,

what do we do?

*Help Macarthur Disability Services and raise money for their great organisation

* put teams in the 24 hour fight against cancer, golf day and 24 hour walk

* the club wore Pink sinks for the Women in League

* bought a table at the Men of League dinner and cleaned up on the memorabilia that night

* always supporting the McGrath Foundation

* Sponsored a Wheelchair Rugby League team

* Sponsored a trotting race that will be named after East Campbelltown Eagles at the cost of $3,000 and is to raise money for OCAGI, which is for Oesophageal Cancer Awareness

and not to mention the great work our club has done for Tackling Domestic Violence, have you seen the commercial?

Our club is proud in what we do and please name another club that does so much for the community and you have the hide to make us accountable.

Trent, you didn't read my post did you? I said Eagles are to be commended for their community work. Ypus asked what do Eagles need to be accountable for???

What Eagles need to be held accountable for is making decisions made in their own best interests rather than the best interests of the game...'no person, nor one club is bigger than the game'.

Eagle's decisions and actions have an sense of arrogance, self centreness and petulence about them which has alienated the club from other Wests clubs, the District RL, other districts, ruling bodies and the general public. Everyone has an opinion about the Eagles....why is that? Even those within the Eagles fold shake their head at the antics of a few that have tarred the whole club. The Group 6 standoff topped the cake in many people's eyes when faced with insurmountable hardship the Club still dug in your heels and fought the unwinnable, ultimately disadvantaging all your senior players and forcing you to find an new avenue to compete, not to mention putting offside your own sponsors, supporters and officials. The PR spin was embarrassing.

The chip on your shoulder and we vs them mentality has seen you guys burn too many bridges and to find or play in a new comp it seems like every 2 - 3 years has seen you quickly bury the hatchett to get players back on the field. How many officials have bans or suspensions placed on them? How many should?

"We just want to play in the best competition" and "we do whats best for our players" mantras wears thin quickly when whatever trust you develop with an association is used against them to better your cause. Threatening to sue or make protests to higher authorities has the set the Club on collision courses with others that has damaged ALL parties, just so you can get your way or a favourable decision.

Anyway, this will probably be deleted in quick time and have me barred but it had to be said, IMO.

The Western Suburbs Magpies Ron Massey Cup team (Wests) expect a particular standard of commitment and dedication from their players, which reflects the standard of competition the players are participating in.

To this end, some players find this level of dedication too difficult to achieve, due to work commitments, study commitments or a preference to play at a more social level.

Others are also offered the opportunity to play elsewhere, as is part of life in rugby league where a player points system operates, which regulates what standard of player can and cannot be used in any given team.

Wests make no judgements against players who prioritise other areas of their lives above football, but also refuse to lower our standards.

At the Ron Massey Cup level, it is unfortunate that a high turnover of players occurs. However, due to injuries at the NSW Cup and NRL levels, sometimes players are called up. As with all levels of football, it is also true that injuries within our own system as well as form issues, result in some players not participating in the team on particular weekends.

Wests will not make any comment on the individual circumstances of players who may play for other clubs or who no longer play the game at all.

Just as Wests seek to achieve to the highest level possible, it is incumbent upon individuals to seek likewise.

No further comment shall be made on this topic by Wests, nor shall any further comment be entertained on this forum, as such discussions not only seek to reflect on Wests, but our Macarthur pathway partners in the Wests Tigers and the East Campbelltown Eagles.
