MAGPIES IN SEVENS TOURNAMENT
A desperate
plea from organizers has led to Wests Tigers fielding a team in the Carlton Mid
Strength St Marys International Sevens competition at Western Weekender Stadium
on Saturday, February 10.
Wests Tigers
CEO Steve Noyce said organiser Tas Bateri made contact with the club pleading
for a team to be put in.
“As a
special matter to assist the game and also give some younger players a hit out,
Tim Sheens agreed to assist Tas,’’
Noyce said.
“Royce
Simmons will coach the Wests Tigers team. Wests Magpies are also playing in the
competition.’’
Wests
Tigers have a strong record in Sevens football, winning the World Sevens
tournament in Sydney
in 2004. The club still holds the trophy as the tournament has not been played
since.

Lewis is in the team whilst former Roosters hooker Lewis Brown and St

Tuiaki, Kingi Akaoula, Tim Moltzen, Peter Lewis, Dave
