Correct Ziggy, at a minimum over the last 10 years, following the strategy of some Waves dads who are very involved with Randwick, a large number of Waves boys have been playing both together at school and in the Randwick Juniors, every Sat/Sunday for many years, and clearly combinations have...

CAS Rugby 2022, the very simple explanation about the far corner is that this is the spot all the recent young Old Boys, most of whom played in the 1s,2s or 3s in the most recent years, many are now playing colts for Randwick, congregate. So if any opposing school ends up down that sideline...

Yes Snort, everything you have said resonates and is emotional. These truisms are way to often, and are felt by those who aren't even connected. In a two horse race, you never know.

Ok SNORT! After numerous years of terrific conversations, this last game will be between our 2 schools, as to who wins/shares the Plume Shield, maybe also with Knox. I will start by saying that your tone and number of posts, since todays Trinity win, has been most obvious, and for very good...

Snort, terrific for Trinity, and Knox would also be quietly happy. I trust you will be at Trinity next week, we should say g'day since 1979!

Spot on Snort in each case I think. I can assure you the Waves will ensure they win but are not focused on an embarrassing score, never do, can't guarantee a big score won't eventuate but there will be a lot of year 12 boys given a chance to feel the emotion of wearing the jersey on Death...

Tis true Snort, my bloke played against the Cranbrook side, it was a terrific side with 5 imports out of 11. This has been their strategy over the past few years, it's a bit OTT in my opinion and others, particularly long time Cranbrook parents as you would expect.

Agree about Bowen, not sure about the forwards, regardless, the Waves wins were by plenty in every game, nothing close, including a very strong Knox and Cranbrook side in the first 2 CAS rounds. Also remember View beat Barker and I don't think Bowen played in that game either, could be wrong.

Yes agree, he only played 1 game.

Joker my tips for the Sat! Kings 12+ New 7+ Scots 10+ Cheers WLF

Hi Rod, I always admire your balanced view. I do think though, you will say Barker regardless! I will though disagree with you in 2021. That Waves side would have easily accounted for a good Barker side at Barker that year. That Barker side had never really got close to that Waves side ever in...

Yep H, It is not over and so the enthusiasm and interest remains, thus my posing the questions outlined above. Having been fortunate enough to be close to the Waves camp, and the focused/clinical way it operates, I cannot see them taking their eyes off the prize. I suspect you saw how they...

Yep, and I know you want to hear this but it is real. Trinity have a number of very good players and the last game of the season for the Waves is at Trinity. The year 12 boys from all schools will want to win their last game for their school and mates, so the emotion will be high in every game...

Ok let's pretend I am the ref amongst all this banter, covering all the various contentious topics under question, :p It is ALL officially over please, it's an insomniacs delight and will change nothing - BORING!!! All I know this year is that the Waves should take out the title, RoD, 2019 v...

Knox 10+ Barker 10+ Waves will win.

Couldn't agree more Jack, I would think the Waves would be more than happy to improve the competition with the addition of more stronger competition. BUT what I mean by that is NOT just the 1stXV because most schools can muster a reasonable 1st XV team with their best players in their school...

Think you are ahead of yourself Snort, Trinity hasn't played Waves yet. Agree with all you just, and have previously said, but probably won't happen in the near future.

777, I am also an old boy but think you will find that the glory days of Rugby won't ever come to an end, as there will always be a hard core of boys and parents who are rugby focused. There may be fewer teams but always a core of boys who luv and are suited to rugby. Can't speak for 100 years...

Ziggy, to be fair there are a few deeper rooted reasons that contribute to all this, and I hope this all comes across in the right manor. Firstly other sports are obviously taking Rugby numbers, in all schools, Joeys might be the exception. Secondly, every year across all age groups and all...
