Cranbrook to win all 3 in a whitewash then head into CAS as top favourites.

I dont mind that, i feel cranbrooks has created a powerfull full strength 1s side but injurys have had them yet to really fire. If cranbrook can field their full strength side throughout CAS dont rule them out.

Cranbrook vs Newington Predictions?

1s, 2s and 3s

I've got the 3s being a good game, Newington by a few. As for the seconds, i dont see much promise for cranbrook coming off a 68-0 loss to riverview. 1s will also be good but cranbrook may struggle to overcome a powerful Newington side with there current injury ridden XV.

100% cranbrook throwing the chequebook at it to win this year. Some great new players dropped straight into the firsts.

Hi all,

I am curious to learn of any talent in the younger year groups of the CAS comp. Any young guns to look out for?

Thanks.

Good question there, scrumbledore I've noticed that Cranbrook, Aloys, and Trinity all lack depth in the younger years, which doesn't bode well for a strong program. Also I think it's time to ditch the AFL and soccer programs for CAS and just keep rugby, like it was back in the day, as it has taken away from key talent pools and culture.

Thoughts?

Thanks OMan.

Barker, Waverly, and Know have always been formidable rugby schools. I truly wonder why the remaining CAS schools, particularly Aloys and Cranbrook, avoid investing into their younger rugby programs.

Not only in regard to expenditure, but reinventing their school image and lean into the rugby culture. Especially as it becomes more and more popular.

Agreed with Soccer, Australia has never been a soccer nation that is competitive at the hgihest level, yet it seems the global dominance of the game draws so many players. Schools have soccer teams to the 7ths and 8ths! From my experience back at school, i remeber countless large rugby players in lower teams due to lack of ball and technical skills being taken by soccer programs, weakening numbers and size in rugby programs. Obviously i think there would be some kids who are better at soccer or more suited for it, making removal of programs unfair, but just something to think about.

Any chance of a CAS tipping comp?

I am not well these days and doing Tipping Comp is very busy.
Trying to do 2 would be insane as I do not have the energy really to do one.
Find a contributor here at CAS and I will help them get it set up up for them.

Knox 16's

Saia Enasio (outside backs)
Nick Stokes (lock)

Both boys meant to be 15s, and have very developed games

I know Saia has some extremely talented older brothers, all playing very high honours at a club and schoolboy level, but it seems Saia may be the best of them all.

Nick has thrived at a rep level for years, and hear he was a key player for Knox's 15a side last year.

Interesting to see how these remarkable young men go this season and progressing into opens next year

I believe Trinity's best up and coming team is their 15As who had a 14 all draw with Joeys this past weekend.

I do 100% agree with this, although I've heard Joeys were carrying a few injuries (I'm not saying this makes all the difference), as well as multiple chances to put more points on the board. It seemed Joeys couldn't quite execute the dominant win they were expecting.

Nonetheless, Trinity is a very strong side this year and have some amazing outside backs to look out for as well as a talented number 8. They played a very fast and aggressive attacking game which could easily blow over any CAS team with the right execution, however, it seemed Joeys just held that defensive edge throughout the game, which saved Trinity from putting more points up.

I think if the match was played again it could go anyway with both sides promising very talented teams this year. Excited to see how they go in their comps this year.

Regards
