HAROLD MATTHEWS
Wests bravely went down in the Harold Matthews to Manly 26-14 at Brookvale last Saturday.
Manly were first on the board after seven minutes to lead 6-0, after capitalising on a repeat set, Jesse Allan strolling over on the left flank after a series of overlaps caught Wests tired, Cooper Johns raising the flags.
Manly added to their lead after 19 minutes, Manly again taking advantage of sustained pressure, Max Lehmann forcing his way over. Cooper Johns couldn't add to the score on this occasion, the Eagles up 10-0.
Wests registered their first points in response right on the interval, Denzel Tavui crashing through. James Tautailalefua was unable to convert, Manly taking a 10-4 lead to oranges.
It was just like the old days to start the second half, Manly taking advatage of some "generous" refereeing to get across the line, Livingstone Chee-Kam forcing his way through the black and white defence after 36 minutes, Cooper Johns hooking the kick wide to leave the score at 14-4.
The Fibros were quick to hit back, Rua Ngati burrowing over from dummy half after a Manly knock-on to reduce the deficit to 14-10 after James Tautailalefua split the uprights.
Manly hit straight back, Sam Verrills going over from dummy half after a dropped pass that incensed the black and white faith as the referee waved play on. Johns finally got his radar back on line, the Eagles ahead 20-10 with 14 minutes to go.
Manly quickly added to their tally, a neat offload allowing Sam Verrills to grab his second of the day alongside the posts for a 26-10 lead after Johns converted.
Wests refused to go away, Ben Seufale going over from dummy half after a strong charge from Rua Ngati. James Tautailalefua pushed the rushed kick wide, buit it was too little too late, Manly running out 26-14 winners.

SG BALL
It was a tough day at the office for Wests' SG Ball side, as Manly piled on nine tries to run out 48-0 winners.
It took until halfway through the first half of an absorbing contest for first points to be registered, Jaiden Tarrant crashing over from close range for the home side, Bailey Shiach-Wise making it a 6-0 lead.
Manly doubled up from the restart, Bill Bainbridge backing up to score under the posts off a soft break. Shiach-Wise was on song from in front for a 12-0 Manly lead after 20 minutes.
Manly were turning it into a procession, a second man ball allowing Luke Polselli to stroll through over the line on the right side for a 16-0 lead, Shiach-Wise offline wth the kick.
Number four for Manly came to Ezera Chee-Kam, a glorious inside ball sending Polselli clear before a passing chain allowd Chee-Kam to touch down in the corner, Manly ahead 20-0 after the conversion attempt was pulled wide.
Wests' right side was crumbling, Brad Parker putting Ezera Chee-Kam away for his second and a 26-0 lead at halftime with the kick.
It took just fie minutes of the second half for Manly to break 30, Brad Parker crossing after the Magpie line got tangled up, Shiach-Wise extending the lead to 32-0.
Manly marched downfield from the kick-off and hoisted a bomb, Cody Abrahams on hand to clean up the spill and grab a try. Shiach-Wise was on target to put Manly up 38-0.
The home side broke 40 after 50 minutes, a grubber in behind the line pinballing around before Brad Parker claimed his second try and a 42-0 lead, Shiach-Wise unsiccessful with the conversion attempt.
It took a while, but Manly struck again with six minutes remaining, a booming 40-20 setting up some quality field position and Luke Polselli grabbing his second from a second man ball. Shiach-Wise slotted the two, the Eagles cruising to a 48-0 win.

Junior Reps Wrap Round Two
MATTS
Wests made it two from two to start 2015 as they downed the Central Coast 22-20 in a tough Harold Matthews contest at Campbelltown.
The visitors were the first on the board, a dubious penalty
creating some field position for Sam Paul to utilise with an incisive run and,
from the ensuing ruck, Tom Kati went over in the corner after a quick passing
move. With Jake Slee’s boot off target, the Centurions were up 4-0 after 10
minutes.
Wests struck back after 18 minutes, a bustling run from
Lucas Castle reaping dividends through the middle of the ruck, the Magpies up
6-4 courtesy of James Tautailofua’s conversion.
Wests’ lead lasted all of four minutes, however, as a
handling error gave Central
Coast possession 20
metres from the Magpie’s line, a neat wrap around involving
Chase Patridge seeing Harry Wilson touch down on the left wing. Jake Slee
was far more accurate second time around, the Coast up 10-6 in sight of the
interval.
Wests repeated their handling error and Central Coast
repeated the left side try with four minutes until the break, Michael Kirwan
going over on this occasion. Jake Slee could not add to the tally, the Coast
going to the sheds ahead 14-6.
The second half began horribly for the Coast with the kick
off going to ground and Wests took full advantage, Bob Faamita going over out
wide, bringing the Magpies back to 14-10 as James Tautailofua was unsuccessful with
the kick.
Wests sought to attack the Coast on the flanks and were
successful through the centres, Saatchi Brown showing neat footwork to step
over the line and, ten minutes into the second half, Wests led 16-14 courtesy
of the conversion from James Tautailofua.
The Magpies were dominating second half proceedings, and
Ailano Pihema cut the Coast defence to shreds to touch down with eight minutes
remaining. James Tautailofua extended the lead 22-14 from ten metres in from
touch, the Magpies looking good value for their second half effort.
The Coast would not go away, and they finished the scoring
for the day, Sam Paul swooping on a loose ball to scoot 85 metres to touch down
under the posts. Jake Slee converted, but it was to no avail, the siren sounding
a mere 10 seconds later as Wests ran out victors 22-20.

SG BALL
The Central Coast left it too late to mount a comeback as Wests prevailed 28-26 at Campbelltown in round two of the SG Ball competition.
Wests took little time to establish their forward dominance,
PJ Leifi barging down through the Centurions line to score on four minuites
and, with Daniel Roberts on song, the Magpies led 6-0.
Central Coast needed to go wide to make any impression and
they did so, Kiah Cooper touching down on the left after going through a
considerable hole, the gap remaining at two after Matt Downey pulled the kick
across the uprights.
Wests returned serve with eight minutes before halftime off
the back of a delightful solo effort from Hosea Leuea, whose footwork was
Thurston-esque in slicing through. Daniel Roberts converted for a 12-10 lead to
the home side.
Wests struck quickly again as Jake Scott was given an
offload and the Centurions defence parted like the red sea, Scott going over
untouched and suddenly, with Daniel Roberts converting, Wests led 18-10.
It was turning into a carve-up as Wests posted their fourth,
Hans Taala strolling through the Coast defence next to the posts. Daniel
Roberts’ kick made it 24-10 at the break.
13 minutes had elapsed before the scorers were troubled,
Lachlan Gallegos going over for the Coast from dummy half after a long break
from Scott Drinkwater. Matt Downey’s kick went wide though, Wests maintaining
their 24-14 advantage.
Wests got their break back, though, after 52 minutes, as
Justice Utatao went over in the north-eastern corner after a sweeping right
spread. Daniel Roberts was offline from the touchline, the Magpies leading
28-14.
The Coast weren’t letting the Magpies get away though, Scott
Drinkwater showing a huge step to go over under the posts to reduce the gap to
28-20 after Matt Downey’s conversion with 12 minutes remaining.
Matt Downey made it a grandstand finish after he touched
down under the posts and, converting his own try, reduced the margin to 28-26
with four minutes to play but the Magpies hung on for a close win.

Senior Wrap Up
Tomorrow your Magpies will face Hills District and Concord-Burwood in a trial double header at Norford Park, Sefton. Sydney Shield will kick off at 10am, with the Ron Massey Cup commencing at 11:30am.
Blacktown Trial Match Review
On Saturday the 14th of February the Wests Magpies Ron Massey Cup and Sydney Shield teams played a combined trial against Blacktown Workers. This was the first hit out for 2015, with a lot of new faces on show, Blacktown already having a trial against Wenty the previous week.
The first three 20 minutes showed some good signs with the last two becoming a little messy, as most trials do. There were some solid efforts in defence on the day and the boys showed that they are willing to put their bodies on the line and take pride in their defence and tryline. We defended well for most parts of the game but like all teams in their first trial found out that we still have some areas we really need to improve on. Back rowers Tom Morrison, Sama Sauvao, and David Harris already showed good work rates with tackle counts in the mid to high twenties and doing their fair share of hit ups.
In attack we got to see some new players to the club, who showed good speed and footwork with both centres, Nathan Hourigan and Phillip Brombal, scoring runaway tries. James Goring helped the forwards out with some solid scoots coming out of our own half and earning some quick play the balls. We did well getting out of trouble but let ourselves down at times by making errors on the second and third tackles, allowing Blacktown off the hook.
Our attack in their half showed some good signs, Wayde Dunley setting up two tries with Jimmy Laulilii and Jacob Nansen running good leads off Wayde.
We still need some work in our set up when we are attacking the opposition try line but as combinations improve we should see this come along with the rest of our game.
For our first hit out the Magpies showed some promising signs but as we all know will need to work hard and continue to improve in all areas to be a threat at the end of the season. However, looking good for now.

HAROLD MATTS
Western Suburbs commenced their 2015 Harold Matthews campaign with a blistering 32-4 demolition of St. George at Kogarah.
A physical opening from the red V saw Wests attempt an offload which was knocked down in the tackle by the home side and, from the ensuing scrum, Sam Rembridge cut the Dragons D open to race 90 metres to open the scoring at 6-0 to the visitors after four minutes courtesy of the conversion to James Tautailalefua.
Western Suburbs commenced their 2015 Harold Matthews campaign with a blistering 32-4 demolition of St. George at Kogarah.
A physical opening from the red V saw Wests attempt an offload which was knocked down in the tackle by the home side and, from the ensuing scrum, Sam Rembridge cut the Dragons D open to race 90 metres to open the scoring at 6-0 to the visitors after four minutes courtesy of the conversion to James Tautailalefua.
A strong set from the kick off created space on the right,
and the redV became the red l l as James Tautailalefua strolled through
untouched out wide. Tautailalefua pulled the conversion wide, the Magpies up
10-0 inside 7 minutes.
Forward passes dominated the next ten minutes until Wests
found space on the left, James Tautailalefua showing too much speed for the
covering defence in a 70 metre dash to the line before converting his own try
for a 16-0 advantage after 20 minutes.
Saints had no answer to the man mountains in the Magpie pack
and, exhausted on the back of two penalties, the Dragons switched off, Rua
Ngati diving over from a quick tap from two metres, Wests taking their 20-0 to
half time after James Tautailalefua hit the upright.
The Dragons needed to be first on the board after the
interval and did so, Mitchell Clift muscling his way through the middle of the
ruck to grab four, but not six, as his kick struck metal after two minutes of
the second stanza.
Wests made amends at the 40 minute mark, though, Ray Ngati
sneaking under everyone to burrow in. Tautailalefua split the sticks and Wests
regained their halftime adavantage and then some, ahead 26-4 with 20 minutes to
go.
Thankfully there was no ground announcer on duty, because
they would have been having nightmares watching the James Tautailalefua show,
as the Magpies custodian sliced through off a scrum win to go 90 metres to
touch down under the posts and claim his trick and, with a conversion thrown in
for good measure, a 32-4 break for Wests with 14 minutes remaining on the
clock.
Wests nearly signed off with another one, but Maurice Faaae
couldn’t keep the ball under control as he crossed the line, the Magpies taking
the two points by 32-4.

SG BALL
St. George dominated a physical game against Wests, coming
out 32-16 victors at Kogarah.
Wests opened the scoring with a nice piece of numerical
symmetry, number eleven PJ Leifi crossing on the right side after as many
minutes off a short out ball. Daniel Roberts was unsuccessful with the kick,
the Magpies up 4-0.
St. George were finding the bigger black and white pack too
much to handle, and a simple short ball on to the chest of Julius Lavaao was
too much for the Dragons, Lavaao barging over adjacent to the posts for a 10-0
lead after 23 minutes courtesy of Daniel Roberts.
The red V finally found their way to the line after 31
minutes, a series of angle passes finally ending with Jai Doolan streaking in
under the uprights, the Dragons’ deficit reduced to four after Bessie
Aufaga-Toomaga slotted from in front.
The Dragons struck immediately, a bomb allowed to bounce by
Wests and Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga snapping up the crumbs to dart over before
converting his own try to give St. George an unlikely 12-10 lead at half time.
St. George picked up where they left off in the second half,
and after five minutes, Jayden El-Jalkh snuck through the centre of the ruck to
touch down and, with Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga’s
kick successful, the Dragons were out to 18-10.
The natives began to grow restless as both sides turned up
the physicality, but it was Wests who kept their heads, Tom Angel showing
incredible strength to go through five Dragons in 15 metres to touch down.
Daniel Roberts added the extras, and the Magpies were back to within two points
after 57 minutes.
The Dragons, though, refused to allow the Magpies any
leeway, Jai Doolan burrowing over after a quick play the ball caught Wests too
slow to get back. Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga failed to convert, however, the Dragons
only getting back to a six point break with 16 minutes remaining.
The Dragons kicking game was something to behold, a midfield
bomb falling perfectly in between converging Magpie defenders but not before Bessie
Aufaga-Toomaga marked the ball and popped it back, Ben Cassell showing too much
speed to get to the corner first. Aufaga-Toomaga pushed the kick wide again,
but the red and white started to look comfortable at 26-16 with ten to go.
The Dragons put the game to bed with three minutes to go,
Eddie Faalua catching a tiring Wests defence off guard and pushing over the
line. Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga nailed the conversion, the Dragons running out
32-16 victors.
