Will this be Barkers XV for the game against Shore @ Allianz, if not does anyone have the current teamlist? Cheers
With the half back for Barker being in yr 11 where does that leave Izack Holmes? Will be get any 1stXVgame time this year? Willhe struggle to make 1s next year?

seemingly a trend that more boys enrol in rugby in later years
Also I suspect a function of how big Knox is now in the later years.
My understanding is it's almost 400 boys in Years 11 and 12, making it substantially bigger than other CAS and GPS schools.

Barker is about 350 but approx 1/3 female.

I hear that Knox went undefeated across their NZ tour, including a strong win against Christchurch Boys HS firsts.

Barker, Waves and Knox all seem in top form. Should be a good comp.

Knox momentum promising with 5 games under their belt (albeit against CBHS who didn’t play a few big names in their first hit out of the year).

Nice Waves 1sts undefeated on their tour as well.

Still missing quite a few boys who stayed in Sydney for league, I’m not sure how the season will go if those kids haven’t trained yet and CAS is only two weeks away. Interesting that league takes priority too.

you'd have to imagine Cranbrook are a smokey after pounding an understrength but still reasonable Shore team.

CAS overall looks a lot stronger this year. Could they beat GPS when those games roll around? Would be quite impressive.

Barker and Waves looking very strong, Knox is still the unknown but have some top-notch footballers like Orr. I think the CAS forwards will be their strength this season but size in the backs may be an issue.

What comp does Kings Christian College play in?
They play on the Gold Coast in what is called the APS (Association of Private Schools) it is a very weak competition generally only 2 decent teams Kings & Somerset College.
They generally have some good players who then get pinched in yr 11 & 12 to one of the Brisbane GPS programs. Todays Kings team featured last year's Qld u16 halfback (who played 10 today) and the 2023 Qld u16 Hooker. Both boys have had multiple offers to move to a GPS school but have stayed with their mates at Kings.

Cranbrook beat them today by at least 45 points, Cranbrook were pretty disappointing this Kings side would be the standard of one of the lower ISA teams.

Their front row was pretty good, there 4 & 6 also quite good. The backline was pretty pedestrian, 12/13/14 were the best. In fairness to both teams it had been bucketing down rain all day, the side of field between to 15m line and touch line was ankle deep in water.

I can't see Cranbrook causing Knox/Barker/Waverley any issues.

I was wondering when Haslam was going to get a mention, he’s always been a good player and I would expect him to shine this year.
