2015 SG Ball Coach Appointed

Western Suburbs today confirmed that Josh White will take charge of the club’s SG Ball team for the 2015 season.

White, who played first grade for the Magpies and Illawarra Steelers, will work with the Magpies’ new Ron Massey Cup coach, Nathan Waters, and General Manager Leo Epifania to groom the next generation of talent for both the Wests Tigers and Western Suburbs Magpies senior teams.

White’s appointment has been confirmed at the same time as coaching appointments for the South West Sydney Academy of Sport (SWSAS) junior representative sides were confirmed, following on from a successful trial day for the Magpies at Kirkham Park, Camden, last Saturday.

Wests’ preliminary squads for both the SG Ball and Harold Matthews competitions will be announced on Friday.

The Magpies welcome Josh back to the nest and look forward to a great 2015 season.

Western Suburbs 2015 Ron Massey Cup Coach Announcement

Western Suburbs is pleased to announce that Nathan Waters has been appointed coach of the Magpies for the 2015 Ron Massey Cup.

Waters played last season in the NSW Cup for the Wests Tigers before a shoulder injury ended his campaign.

Waters is a Wests junior and was part of the 2002 SG Ball premiership winning team, playing alongside several Magpie juniors who went on to the top grade, including Dean Collis, Isaac De Gois Bryce Gibbs, Ryan Hoffman and captain Liam Fulton,

Magpies' General Manager Leo Epifania said Waters would bring a fresh, young outlook to the coaching team and would provide an attractive option for players looking to compete in the Ron Massey Cup. Epifania also said that he will act as a mentor for Waters, whom Epifania believes is the best suited of any player he has had under his guidance to the role of coach.

Waters' appointment coincides with the signing of Wests junior Shannon Gallant for the 2015 season. Gallant has followed Waters through his career as captain, and now as coach.

Wests welcome Nathan to the position of head coach and look forward to a successful 2015 Ron Massey Cup and Sydney Shield season,

2015 Ron Massey Cup: First New Recruit

The Western Suburbs Magpies' new General Manager, Leo Epifania, is pleased to announce that Magpies junior Shannon Gallant will be returning to Campbelltown for the 2015 Ron Massey Cup season.

Gallant is a Campbelltown City Kangaroos junior who has had stints at the Magpies, Wests Tigers, North Queensland Cowboys, Mackay Cutters, Newtown Jets and the Cabramatta Two Blues.

Gallant is most comfortable at fullback and will add enormous starch to the Wests attack in 2015.

Epifania said he was looking forward to tomorrow's junior representative trials at Camden in efforts to unearth new talent for the Magpies, before getting back to work on Monday to secure more signings for the 2015 season.
