GWS should not have even given the Riverina on top of all their draft concessions. Their ability to draft 'Academy' players from Wagga, Temora, Narrandera, Leeton etc is one reason they are being attacked now. When they produce Academy players from Western Sydney it'll be great, and deserving of full support, but their access to Riverina talent (esp those schooled in Melbourne) should rightly be pulled.

Yes Eddie is gunning for them, like he did for us and Brisbane before us, but this current set up is ammunition for him and his noisy cohorts.
