CAS Rugby 2023

Agreed. Knox and Barker continuously challenge their 1st teams by putting them against quality GPS sides, whilst Cranbrook are struggling against ISA teams and are put against Kinross. There isn't really a chance to show quality when a side verses Kinross so oftenly.

Oftenly.... don't think that is in my vocabulary. Agree with you, but I do not think they are struggling. If anything Cranbrook are just playing messy footy. Someone needs to have a word and get there catch pass to perfection, with this I believe they will be much better off.

Any update on Cranbrook captain (3) after injury against Kinross?

Hopefully he is ok, Cranbrook will miss a player of his quality.

11 should be playing at 15 I think.

Where are Barkers games this weekend. Dont know why the 1sts are Versing Nudgee at 11am. (Had to say it)

Playing at 11am is a weird one. Makes it harder to draw a crowd with clashing games. I’d assume it’s being streamed on stan again, so they’re playing it at 11am for the sake of the broadcasters.

Sorry about no report this week. Everything I have seen from others, I agree with. I would just like to mention my standouts from the Cranbrook side. I think No.(6) Mackenzie was the crowds favourite. I think debutant (14) had a good game. (2) played well and also switched to flanker during the game as a substitution came on which was very interesting, saying this I believe most forwards had a good game. A few debuts off the bench with the 2s (9) Marchant, (17) Walsh these two played the best out of the bench boys. Overall Cranbrook needed this game to solidify themselves and hopefully when they play Auggies we see a much better game between the two sides.

Agreed. Tough to look past MacKenzie (6) as the best player as he scored 5 tries. Marchant from what i've heard is a very promising 9 and is vital for the Cranbrook 2nds team with the hope to play consistent minutes for the 1sts.

They certainly will. Best prop in the CAS in my opinion, should be in CAS 1

On the GPS forum, they’ve created a TOTW. I think that’s a great idea for the CAS once the season kicks off!

I haven't heard about it being on Stan. I don't think they would broadcast a schoolboy trial game. Probably has something to do with Nudgee potentially having to fly home that night? Not sure though.

Fair enough, I assume you have seen all the props in the CAS?

 

[WLF3]

Because....?

Silly Snort, because they just will!

Wow I beg to differ as knox's front row are very good watching them play against auggies i think the knox props were much more effective then cranbrooks number 3 he is decent but me personally i wouldn't bother to compare him to the knox big bopper either 1 or 3 cannot remember. I say this because i also watched augs vs Cranbrook at rat park and he did little to nothing during the game, wasn't the best carrier considering his size but maybe he had an off day.

Goddard, Knox TH, was CAS 1sts last year.

 

[William McIlrath]

26-13 Knox over St Augustine’s at a very wet and muddy Rat Park. Knox always looked in control but it was an average game of rugby influenced heavily by conditions. Augustine’s played hard rugby and competed well for the full game. Knox couldn’t really get going with poor handling stifling momentum

This game was quality to watch, would like to say congrats to auggies those boys kept their grit till FT.

I heard the Auggies fullback was out aswell with a touch tournament can anyone confirm?

Apparently the time is due to Nudgee flying back Saturday afternoon. Don’t think the game is being streamed anywhere. Nothing from the school promoting it which is strange given the hype around last year. Very disappointing as it should be a big deal for all involved.

Goddard, Knox TH, was CAS 1sts last year.

Goddard is immense as a TH, super strong, and Mckinnon is very underrated at loose, strong, fit and ran down a Joey's winger to save a try. Probably has a superior work rate. Both played Australia A last year.
