Trouble within the club?

Things take time once you get past Chatswood.

Haha, yeah. Must be all those $3 schooners they serve us at the local clubs.

Easy does it mate. You live up in Queensland don't you Shakespeare? Hardly a location renowned for producing a conga line of progressive geniuses. That reminds me. I've got to go kick the cat, can't have him going all soft on me now.

Real westies don't have cats.

Sorry, I meant feline companions

I know. My next door neighbour breeds Pitbulls to protect his backyard crack lab, he tells me the same thing whenever I drop in to square up for the week. Then I told him yesterday that I go for Manly and he tossed me a packet of skittles. "Makes sense," he said before raising the price of his meth.

Was Jacob Preston frozen out though? Or is it just poor management on behalf of the club? It's pretty poor that in such a small local league as the Northern Beaches, we don't have anyone identifying such talent. Who else has been frozen out, and by whom?

There's quite a few NRL players currently we have let slip through our fingers from the northern beaches that I can think of.

Clint Gutherson
Bailey Simonsson
Jacob Preston
Freddie Lussick
Sam Verrills

Among others in our system from a young age albeit not technically from the beaches

Jesse Ramien
Nicho Hynes
Cade Cust*
Jared Waera Hargreaves
Liam Knight
Luke Garner

There's some real quality in that list, even the lesser names could probably slot straight into our squad somewhere. I can understand the need or advantages in developing players locally but it's no good if you don't identify them and keep them. Something I think the club has struggled with for a while now. Well at least the retention side of it.

You've got us Qlders covered, none of us could play any musical instrument.

 

[Seagles68]

You must have played for Belrose around the same time as I did Shoe1

Preston was also a Belrose boy.

Ease up mate. You live up in Queensland don't you Shakespeare? Hardly a location renowned for producing progressive geniuses.

Kingscliff mate. Moved north many years ago......... Not as far as QLD though
That's not happening anytime soon. In fact, never.
It seems like half the northern beaches are here now anyway.
Go Manly @Thewestisbest

Definitely, but how many of them were let go because we have an association with Blacktown? The club has been second rate in its retention for a while now.

Nah mate, that's just a bloke we paid from Dubbo to make us look half okay.

Yeah you got me Shakespeare. I'm real butt hurt now.

 

[bob dylan]

So Scott Fulton goes to Tigers as a Recruitment Officer. Lol.

They must not be happy with a bloke who in the last 12 months has signed Api, Klemmer, Bateman and Papalii.

Tell me another one, just like that other one...

Certainly sounds that way, mate. It sounds like you have a chronic case of it. Perhaps you should change your nick to @butthurtinthewest It has a nice "ring" to it.

Let me think about it Bill. To do or not to do? That is the question. Nah I'm all good mate, perhaps some other time.

And recruited a bloke whose record at his former club is overrated and intricately associated with a questionable player manager that is and has threatened to remove his clients from the club if he doesn’t get what he wants

Listen to Josh if u think there are issues

Player Media: Josh Aloiai

Hear what prop Josh Aloiai had to say to the media today.

Ok great so no dramas just boys being boys.
Schu will smash himself doing fitness and be back better than ever.
The boys are all sweet together and they'll do the job on the donkeys on Fri night.
I feel better now thanks Josh A.

Freezing local juniors out of the selection process in favour of juniors from the west for the past 10 years can’t have provided much incentive for local kids to play league.

I daresay Jacob Preston at the dogs is evidence of that.

You see how I said “I daresay…”?

That means I suspect (I “dare say”) it is so.

This assumption is based on the Western Sydney pathways program set up by the Fultons to bring players from outwith the Northern Beaches to MWSE.

In case you are unaware, part of this program made the decision to NOT recruit from Northern Beaches clubs, hence my use of the term “frozen out”.

It was a simple question really. And I asked it genuinely.

Since I joined this site a couple of days ago you have replied to my posts four times. In three of them you accused me of posting too much. Posted a photo in an attempt to to have a crack, and now posted the Google search engine above. What is your problem? I don't care if you disagree with my opinions, plenty do. That's just life. But why the hostility and rudeness? And you harp on about players respecting one another.

Yeah, you’ve never been here before, you’re brand spanking new for sure

 

[47MVEagle]

I agree that the carry on has increased since punching was banned. As good old Reggie would say, maybe they need to bring back the biff.

Yeah exactly! BringBacktheBiff for sure eh, mate?
