Have you ever tried to
pick the best Wests side ever?
Well here's your chance to pick your favourite
Wests team from the players who played for the Magpies between 1966 and
1969...the Kelly’s Kids era.
There are rules in every game
here are the rules:
1) The
player must have played for Wests between 1966 – 1969.
2) The
player can be chosen from any grade.
3) The
player can picked out of position e.g. Steve Winter (lock)
4) Then
pick a second Wests side to beat the first. The same player cannot be in
both teams…..
Sounds simple but who do you leave out??? The team below
is the team I would pick to play the St George side of 1963 and win. Revenge
would be sweet.
