This is right. The fact that someone is playing well doesn't necessarily mean you pick them in CAS 1sts. They need to be playing better than the others - especially when the others are incumbents.

Barker to beat Nudgee, Barker to win by 4 tries or more
Gregs to beat Aloys, to win by 2 or 3 more tries
Cranbrook to beat Stannies, by 2-3 more tries
Auggies to beat Waverly, due to Waverly's ongoing injuries, should be a close game despite that
Knox to beat Oakhill, again should be a very close and exciting matchup
Trinity to beat Kinross, Trinity should win be a large amount, 5+ tries

The teams have been announced for the Waves this Sat.
Good news, 4 key 1sts back in ( 2 forwards and 2 backs), 2 backs still out, BUT it's a much stronger side than any time in the past.
This will also bolster the 2nds/3rd and 16as, so we will now see what effect this has on the schools performance.

Do you have names of who's just come back and who's still injured and a possible return date?

I believe Jaxson Allen, the year 11 number 10 for Cranbrook firsts is also injured along with some other players, leading me to believe that they may be playing with a few second-grade players against Stannies.

Yep.
In , Ollie Aboud Flanker, Noah Tofaeono lock, Caleb Sinclaire-Harris centre, and Billy Lyons winger.
Still injured Jonte Fidel a few weeks, Kahu Capper probably next week, and Zion Poitaha (season).
Suspect their match fitness won't be 100% this Sat, but after the next 2 weeks, assuming a good run, the Waves will be quite strong for the start of the CAS comp. Same applies to all other teams, hopefully no injuries to anyone!
Watch out Auggies and others!

G'day Lachie,
I believe that regardless Cranbrook still stand a fighting chance against Stannies. Their 2nd's team are rather strong and I have even reffed one of their games and was rather impressed. They have a strong side and keen boys. The trip to Bathurst I believe they have this weekend shall wither them but they shall fight through to a strong outcome.

Nice words H, Thx.
Billy is a natural.
Same applies to all the boys of every team, it goes without saying that this is the end of many of their years at their school, and it is very important that they get to have a real dig.
Currently results would suggest that it's a Knox v Barker contest, with Cranbrook the smoky, but another team could be lurking.

My younger brother plays in the open's squads and discussed it with me over dinner the other night. Apparently not a "serious" injury.
I have also heard there are a couple of players in the Cranbrook 2's new to rugby can anyone confirm?

Wow. Again, am I reading this right? Oakhill to beat Knox by 20? This should be a field day for Knox.

Any reasons or injury knowledge behind the Knox prediction?
Nudgee will do a number on Barker this year, Barker is propped up by imports at the top end, Nudgee has a wholistic approach to their Rugby program from the 13F right through to the 1stXV. They have a formidable team and knocked of The Southport School last weekend by 30 points.

G'day Goose,
Not sure if my sources are correct however i believe there are some 2s players in the Knox 1st XV side and a couple injuries.

G'day Scrumhead99,
I understand your surprise at the suggestion that Oakhill Rugby could beat Knox by 20 points, considering Knox's strong reputation. However, it's important to remember that team chemistry is the key. Their chemistry reminds me of my footy days.
