CAS Rugby 2023

[WLF3]

We've seen in previous years how well the CAS selectors know the boys from Waverley College so I wouldn't worry about a lack of recognition from that side.

I think to add some balance to this view, last year the Waves didn't have many in the CAS 1s and probably not this year as well.
In 2020 and 2021 the Waves sides were extremely strong, winning all 5 CAS games in 2020, and all 8 games played in 2021, prior to Covid shutting down the last 3 games of the season. That 2021 side also thumped 3 GPS schools in that year, so it should come as no surprise that in those years the Waves had very strong presentation. (The selectors however still got the props wrong in 2021)

Barker v Nudgee game to be streamed on NSW rugby tv

Gentlemen, it is only be described as avaricious to attempt to predict such lineups. Moreover, I can attest to the inherent ability of players that have been mentioned, yet these boys are not professionals, only exemplars of the ability for schoolboys to dedicate time to an endeavour that they love!!!!

let’s allow for professionals to select such players, we are only human, hence unable to attend each game and witness the efforts of multiple stand out players across the CAS competition in its entirety. However, I have heard sprinklings that some surprise players of the Blue and Gold may be entering the ranks of the undying CAS glory. Thoughts?

I think you swallowed a thesaurus but suffer from syntax-intolerance.
I also think you should try posting something half-sensible instead of shite.
This thread can take this as a general warning.

Barker v Nudgee game to be streamed on NSW rugby tv

I've done a bit of cheeky reconnaissance on the QLD GPS forum, and have been told Nudgee are solid, but not as good as they were last year. The same can be said for this years Barker team. Not the clash of the titans it was last year unfortunately. Probably not even the match of the day with some very good GPS match ups happening. Then again a lot of these matchups have been spoiled by injury. Scots View would have been great but Scots apparently have 6 boys out. Knox are playing an injury plagued Oakhill. Waves vs Augs would have been great but injuries. I think the match of the day might be Newington vs Kings.

Not 100% sure if all players are fully fit I know a couple of these boys have missed some games.

I think two boys from Cranbrook Girle (5) and Ah-Colt (3) are a must in this lineup. Vice captain and captain of Cranbrook respectively and have been performing to their full potential recently, would be tough to leave them out.

Fairly sure that Alloys game is at Knox

I would hope so, the fact the boys only have one home game is ridiculous. Once again it becomes a debate about who gets the home fixture for their most important games, its nice we are getting the home game v barker but only one???

Not sure if hills fit or not but if he is I’d have him over ah colt. Was Aus 16s last year and has been impressive against strong opposition, including a massive newington pack and view. Goddards a must. Can’t see girlie starting at 2 row over two gen blue 2022 players.

Nick Hill a big loss this week.

I believe it’s syndesmosis. Will be touch and go if fit for cas

 

[Footywaves]

Anyone have predictions for this week?

 

[bill clune]

Anyone have predictions for this week?

Barker v Nudgee: Nudgee 30+
Gregs v Aloys: Aloys 20+
Cranbrook v Stannies: Stannies 5+
Waverly v St Augs: Augs 10+
Knox v Oakhill: Knox 10+
Trinity v Kinross: Trinity 20+

 

[schoolboyfooty]

The Waverley loosehead, Ky Pule, I believe will be a starter for CAS 1sts he's been playing very well and dominating the opposition with his size and strength. As well as he was the Australian Schoolboys prop last year.

The graphic is a nice touch. Is it printed for the games for people to collect or is it online only?

The poor kid. My son had the same and it had a big impact on his running for a while. Hope he recovers well.

Hey guys looking forward to a great season of GPS rugby

 

[KentwellCup>ShuteShield]

Barker v Nudgee: Nudgee 30+
Gregs v Aloys: Aloys 20+
Cranbrook v Stannies: Stannies 5+
Waverly v St Augs: Augs 10+
Knox v Oakhill: Knox 10+
Trinity v Kinross: Trinity 20+

I will predict that none of these predictions will get up.

Not sure. I'd assume Barker would print it out for the Matchday guide.

Hey KC,

I don't know what makes you so sure, as despite a bit of variability in scores, I feel most will be correct. Nudgee seem to have lost a slight touch in their game, so it could be a close one but Aloys will be a certain win home after their last games showing some quality performances. Stannies are in good form with Cranbrook presenting a few injuries, similarly with Waverly but again could a be close one. Knox should be a clear win but Kinross could be a dark horse after showing some promising signs in previous matches.

Kell out.

Any thoughts on that team of the week idea on this forum?
