CAS Rugby 2023

Thought I would repost this just to see if anyone here had any thoughts by now?

Player to watch for barker is Poynton. Having the experience playing last year, has been training at 10 for barker and also been playing Harold Matthews cup for South Sydney which will help keep him ready for round 1.

Great to hear from the Waverley camp that Ruben Stock has just broken all the records in the gym with a 150kg bench press for 3 reps. A 250kg squat for 3 reps and ran a 4:04 bronco, as well as running a 4 second 40m sprint. Expecting big things from the man mountain.

We will need a kicker so I think a possible winger will be Felix Tuinui

Is there any relation to the great Morgan Turinui?

His son

His son

Kicked a last minute sideline conversion to beat Knox in the u16s. Turinui was kind enough to remind everyone at the Knox rugby lunch.

What are your sources for this team exactly. Seems like a strong team, but I don't believe Tofaeno is a flanker more of a centre, I believe Turinui will be on the wing, Ruben Stock has to be in that team somewhere.

 

[Stag Stalwart]

Very early I know but given last years teams does anyone have any predicted CAS 1s or 2s lineups?

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

Ignoring the Opens (and people playing with dispensations), how do your schools structure their “age groups”. Do they play in their school year group or do they play in their birth year age group? Eg. Are the u15 teams all year 10 boys or year 9 and 10 who were born in 2008?

Schools have to abide by CAS by laws.

Age Limits – cas-web

The only team that has bent this rule is Barker with Josh Nercessian in 2018.

How does trinity shape up this year? We've seen predicted lineups for barker, Knox and waves but no comments on the trinity. Their side last year showed great promise and the scoreboard didn't seem to reflect the skill of the players. Will there be a number of boys returning from last year's side?

Knox plays school year group from 7-10

 

[Hankspank]

Chatting with friends from Joeys and Oakhill on the weekend and they go by birth year rather than school year.

Oakhill you can choose age or School year mate if you're younger. My son was a year younger than most in his year but always played in his school year group. Most boys do this and only a few choose to go with age group if younger

Was Narcessian not 19?

Horrible stuff coming out of Cranbrook. Truely shocking. Interesting to see how this scandal will effect the boys pre-season.
Rucker out.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Hopefully he was a yr12 and he's out of there since it was 6 months ago.

Very sad and just ignorant. Especially in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs

 

[GAURIIIIIIII]

Cranbrook 16a's have a few prospects, such as Cranbrook 16a's number (9) Tom Marchant, great ball runner and has a great passing range too with accuracy. Will be exciting to see what he delivers. Especially since Cranbrook should be a strong side this year.

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

Was Narcessian not 19?

No. He was playing rep 1st XV in 2016, which is against age dispensation rules for him to play while 19.

also Sam Laurie, Liam Kelly and Max Swanenberg from AICES U16's have made the CJRU 16's. Well done lads

Waverley have an u19’s player this year. That’s good news. I didn’t realise exemptions were provided for older players. I will update my team list to include him.

Tino Jahnke Tavana on a wing.

I am confused as to how this means Barker broke a rule
