Is it too early to just give them the trophy or do we think there's another team that can match em?

We lost 3 first grade midfielders too but when you grow your own you don't rely on recruitment.

 

always one of the youngest squads and all but 4 of the first grade 16 on Saturday have come through the club as juniors.

Not a fair fight

Ha good on you for bringing up your juniors and you obviously do a great job in that regard. It helps when you are one of the biggest clubs in NSW

That is admittedly true but the development from junior to PL has been a focus. Interested to know if it's the same at other clubs?

Penno used to do a good job with that but no idea if they do now or anyone else.

its obvious that theyre horrible this year. The real questin is how do dragons go in 3 nil at half time and then fall apart second half and concede 3 to the worst pl team of the last 15 years.

Can guarantee nobody at Campbell Park is thinking this, let alone coming on here to write it.

Obviously made a great start in both grades but that's it - a start.

Lots of twists and turns can and probably will happen and as well as availability and form you need luck with injuries.

The ONLY thing we have in our favour is that in recent years we've been there, seen it, done it. We know what it takes and we know it's bloody hard to maintain form week in week out.

Walloping arguably the 2 worst sides in the comp isn't anything to brag about champ. First round isn't even finished yet plus the long weekend double header is a challenge for all teams. Each year it always comes down to consistent results and good squad depth. A lot can change over the course of 2-3 weeks (just ask Arsenal)

Yeah idk what the other guy is on about. WPHC are literally a dynasty. For the last 4 years they've consistently come first in both grades. Ressies are currently unbeaten this year. First grade are currently undefeated with a game in hand and a 4 point gap between Normanhurst. They also play Normanhurst this week so they could go 10 points clear if they win that and their game in hand. Obviously a few "ifs" but WPHC have shown every year how good they are. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who would actually bet against them winning the comp

Also doesn't say much for the quality of the comp these days. Once upon a time any of 3 or 4 teams could take it out and every game was a challenge even when playing the bottom. Zero depth in the comp now.

Yeah the quality of the comp was way higher when kenthurst won both grades for like.5 years

Or when eew won both grades and coc for like 7 years in the 90s

Or when YMCA did the same thing in the 80s

 

There is always going to be a club that dominates

It doesn't make the quality of the competition any worse

------------------------------------------

I guess it depends on how you define dynasty.

In 1st grade they've finished 1st 3 times in the last 4 seasons. Looking like there's a good chance they'll go 4 out of 5 this year. I don't pay much attention to Reserve grade but I'm pretty sure they've finished 1st 3 or 4 times as well.

Pretty sure they had the most injury ridden season that year, more than half of their regular firsts out for most of it. No surprise that they bounced back straight away the following year.

 

The impressive thing about WPH though is that theyve been dominant with a fairly young team, so in theory they could stay at the top for another 5 years.. Alot of experience in that team now.

What it says more of is just how lacking in depth the comp has become. Wph are good but there is literally nothing after that. Gone are the days when there were multiple good squads sta, Eew, pen, Ken, pumas, all on par with current wph for ability and depth. Wph will dominate the next few years because there is nothing to challenge not because they're that good

Wph only won by 4 points last year and weren't even winning the whole season. They won because Rovers choked massively.

 

Also just because 1 team is better than all the others it doesn't make the rest of the comp bad. Was the comp bad when kenthurst won like 4 double doubles in 5 years?

Yep spot on. They are no good. Only made to look good becuase every other team in this competition is terrible which makes them look better than they really are. 

Winning 6 premierships and 5 grand finals in 4 years doesn't mean anything. I can factually say with 100% confidence that I personally saw every game and knew every team intimiately back when KEN / EEW / YMCA had their dynasty's and WPH do not complare at all as all the current teams are not as good as the teams that those powerhouses had to deal with back in the 80's/90's and 00's.

My subjective opinion holds more weight than facts and anyone who disagrees with me is just a loser who doesn't know what they're talking about.

I know you're joking
wrote on 31-May-23 17:02

Wph would destroy the long ball 442 with a sweeper all the teams were playing in the 80s and 90s.

 

Back then if you could run fast and maybe control a ball you were a good player.

 

The game has changed a hell of a lot since then.

wrote on 31-May-23 18:23

You can't compare WPH to the KEN, EEW or YMCA teams of previous years. The game is totally different. Much more technical now, but arguably softer.

 

All you can say is that in this era, WPH have built and are maintaining a dynasty. That's the best anyone can do. Nobody thought they would maintain it without Kane let alone the other 3-4 first grade players they lost, and to be fair they haven't yet but they still have a very young squad and are miles ahead of the pack.

wrote on 31-May-23 19:55

As someone who's played in this competition for over a decade I can safely say WPH are in their "prime" over the last few years. A young squad that has played together for a number of years and once struggled when they came to PL has now come into their own and dominating now that they're a bit older, bigger and more technical. 

But remember every team basically goes through this. Before this crop of youngsters came through WPH were nothing to write home about, I'm fairly sure they almost were relegated in the late 00's. 

Just look at PEN and, most recently, STA. Both very consistently dominant teams, always there come semis and finals time, but nowadays a shadow of their former teams because players come and go. People age and leave and young, inexperienced players come through the ranks. 
naturally as a result clubs will ebb and flow in their "dominance" with the key being the ability to keep a squad of players together for multiple seasons and having a good mix of youth (not too much) and age (not too much also). 

it just seems like WPH are currently the team that has managed to do that and is now reaping the benefits. 
EEW had an aging squad and have had a changing of a guard as well with a good ressies side but a lacklustre 1st grade ast season. Rovers seem to have a good mix as well as they have been up there in both grades both last season and again this year. Back in their day Ravens we're unstoppable even for the mighty KEN but now look at them, players left, people got olden, a young inexperienced squad that ended up getting relegated and the ey now reside in SL. 

swings and roundabouts people

wrote on 31-May-23 22:40

I stand by what I said. I played PL back in the day against the top sides and top players and the kids now have better ball skills. 

We were a bit harder, tougher, refs let more go, games were more of a battle but for pure technical ability these kids have it over us. I'm fine with that. The game has changed as it always will.

if you want to keep your rose tints on that's fine by me.

Have a look at the way 'the best players in the world's played 30/40 years ago

You could put any current top npl player in their place and they'd do the same thing.

Yes they were good for their time but compared to today they're average

If you're referring to the short king up top with the squeaky voice then he absolutely deserved to be sent off. If anything he was lucky to have been on the pitch as long as he was. I've never seen such a reckless and stupid player in many years. Flying into tackles while on a yellow was potentially the dumbest thing I saw all day and your canteen being closed 10 minutes into first grade was pretty stupid.

Ill have you know im no short (not tall) king (Royal position) im 6 foot (185cm), Squeaky voice (high pitched) is also wrong as my voice resides in the 2nd octave which is actually lower than the average man (3rd octave). To say i recklessly (incautiously) fly into challenges shows you dont know anything about the game (football) and you dont belong in this top tier football (Soccer) league (formerly GHFA now NWSF). The canteen only closed early as they ran out of Hamburgers (memoirburgers)

Obviously a normo player FYI.

 

But as a neutral, tbh i though Normo were a bunch of whingers. The challenges you are referring to were nothing more than 50/50.

It was just that the Normo boys complained about every challenge and baited the ref into sending him.

The hawks guys who was marched, really should have known better..... but  hey it is what it is.

 

The point i'm trying to make is, back in the day Roods, Forbsie and the bush boys would have kicked the shit out of you and you were expected to take it, not cry like a school girl.

Back in the day we had referees with character and pizazz, (Rob Lewer, Mal Patterson, Tony Ho, Tom Forrest, Tony T and Phil Hafey) every Saturday was a challenge in Firsts and Ressie, personally I loved the challenge with the Iredale boys at West Penno and then  we had all he EEW characters who knew everything and wanted to tell you so, when the opportunity arose, some good banter over the years came from it, I hated refereeing my own club Normo, because they were the worst behaved in the competition, sent plenty off there over the years.

I loved getting my appointment for the weekend and see what bunch I had to offciate on the weekend, sometimes it would be great to get a hot game and then you were likely to get HFC v Kenthurst at Kenthurst back in Prem 2 days, you just knew it was going to be boring, so let a few fouls go and play advantage and then things livened up, man I miss those days, now I referee Papuan New Guineans with bush knives !

Doesn't mean anything. They are 100% beatable, the table flatters them massively. Only managing a draw against MQD and barely scraping through against normo and Ryde saints, they're really not that much better than any other team, just consistent.

Last year the west penno ressies went through undefeated the whole season and only scraped through the semi and then got flattened in the grand final.

As you grow up young Jacki you will learn that the table doesn't lie.

 

 I'm assuming you also think the table flattered Man City as they lost to Southampton who should therefore be considered the true champions.

 

When you say they are "just consistent" I'm assuming that you mean they "just win every fucking week" and we'll, isn't that the point of it all.

 

If you still can't give credit to a side with 31 points from 33 and 11 clear of second place, you might have a tough life.

Settle petal. WPH have 31 from 33 points. Just let the table do the talking

Not baited
wrote on 13-Jun-23 18:22

I'm nothing to do with WPH so not baited at all.

 

Just a bit over the shit chat on this forum lately when you also consider the talk about Penno's ressie keeper.

 

Barely get results anymore, no goal scorers, no actual sensible discussion on games. 

To be honest it's become an absolute waste of time which is a real shame

WPH were the only team who actually played a ressies team.

 

all the other teams were stacking it with first graders....

 

makes their win even better.

Are you high? The whole entire point of a squad is to put your best 11 on the pitch in first grade and then the rest in ressies. So technically isn't every team "stacking" their ressies? Even WPH? What kind of team would put some of their best players in ressies?

All away games on paddocks. From what I've seen, no team competes with wph on a decent pitch or synthetic, there's just a vast difference in footballing quality.

wrote on 14-Jun-23 13:52

Everyone can gang up on West Penno all they want however their squad has remained stable in quality and depth whilst everyone else has gotten worse.

 

If you put some effort into those squads, you'll be able to compete. It's not that hard.

I think most people will agree that having a solid, consistent group of players for multiple consecutive seasons will yield some good results. I don't particularly think everyone is saying west penno are bad, I just think that of all the current teams they have the most consistent, regular squad over the last few seasons, hence their success.

Like I'm fairly certain the team that played in the GF back in 2019 is almost identical to today (obviously minus 2-3 players)

 
If you rewind to last decade the most dominant teams were the likes of KEN/STA and PEN, why?, because their squads remained the same for seasons and seasons at a time having a good mix of old heads and drip-feeding youth / new players one or two each season. The teams that skyrocketed to the top quickly and then faded just as fast (think PHD/RAV) happened because they had a gun squad that revolves around 2-3 key players and when they get older and move on the guts of the team get ripped out and then they scramble for a few seasons to blood new players without much success. Don't agree? Just look at PEN and STA now, RAV are rotting in SL for a few seasons now and KEN are barely hitting top 4 in their farmers league. Get it right and you'll have success like WPH do now, but everything has a lifespan and in a few seasons time we'll be talking about how they've "fallen off" and "used to be so dominant". Enjoy it while it lasts.

------------------------------------------

first of all you cant stack a ressies team with first graders in the finals

if a player played 3 or more of the last 5 games in first grade they cant play ressies in the semis

and if they didnt play 3 or more of the last 5 games in first grade theyre not a first grader

 

the tigers first grade keeper was somehow allowed to play in the first ressies semi, but that wasnt against west penno

 

also rovers had a first grade team playing in the finals so they definitely didnt stack ressies

 

so please tell me what this stacking is that you are talking about

Is wph a better team without Kane? What would be the GD if he was still playing? What if he came back next year?

wph first grade team has half of the minor premiers reserve grade boys from last year. Out of the 15 in that gf only 5 remain. WPH both grades depth plus ability to pull through juniors as well as great club culture is what's obviously the key. Knob

Penno, Normo, Saints, St Pats, St Andrews have none

If other clubs had the same level of junior support the story would be different

very very very well said.

that and the fact you will get some key players from other clubs who want success as their team might be falling apart and they jump ship to join.

 

WPH have the ex Sta striker this year.

wph picked up dash from pennant hills(ressies)

Juice went from WPH to Kenthurst

Nate Gray went from Normo to Kenthurst

 

all this kind of stuff goes on, but in a nut shell WPH have built a winning culture, people want to join.

teams who are not competiting in the top 4 of first grade can "arrange" for players to play down to improve their ressies teams.

 

epping Eastwood did it last year, Sta a few years back.

 

not illegal at all, just makes a team who wins the double; even more impressive.
