Assume you are proposing this for 1sts and 2nds? Hard logistically with games on the same stairway for the wider opens and 13-16s… although 16a’s has become quite a significant team over recent years so I’m sure they would be up for the same treatment. I’m still a fan of majority my school v...

Agree, would be very interested to hear from someone from both Aloys and Cranbrook

I think we are on the same page wlf. My original comment was on the wording of the survey itself on the expansion of the CAS to incorporate more schools. I don’t think that needs to happen. I have also advocated for years that the rugby competition should change. If the survey addressed rugby...

I agree with you but the survey was about expanding the CAS. I don’t think that’s the solution. The problem is specifically a rugby one. NSW rugby sat down with all of the sport masters from the 3 associations individually 4 years ago in an attempt to take the temp of a combined competition for...

No one is hiding mate. Did you complete the survey? I’m not suggesting incorporating gps schools either as that will never happen. At the moment Knox plays against 4 or 5 GPS schools and either oakhill or someone else before the CAS comp starts giving it 10 meaningful games for the season. They...

Was a strange survey, usually these things have a predetermined outcome that they are searching for endorsement on. The theme was CAS expansion so I don’t support that concept. I like the inter association games with gps schools, it generates a great level of interest and is quality rugby. I...

Agree. Three defensive decisions to be made there and three very different threats.

From a Knox perspective id keep 12 McLeod and 13 Saunders together playing outside the Barker 10 Katoa. A lot of the others are in year 11 but think that 5 Ericsson will be one of the Locks. The front row all played CAS 16s last year so would be in with a shout. I haven't see any other CAS teams...

Wlf, Knox v barker is at barker this year. I feel that game comes down to whether Katoa plays (assuming all other 29 are fit). He sounds like quite the influence, hopefully he is fit for CAS v GPS in a couple of weeks time

Yep, those 2 players are set in stone for their respective associations. Great players. Pity The Knox 13 only lasted 30 seconds against joeys before getting a bad facial cut that required surgery.

Thanks RL, much appreciated

Any further updates RL? Couldn’t make it today, thanks

Yes

Knox are at home against cranbrook. I also don’t see an upset this week. When is katoa back for barker? I’ve never seen him play but looking forward to it. Hopefully he’s back for CAS v GPS. I assume he’s a walk up start at 10

Good luck with your son HS…. How long is he out for?

44-33 Knox over new. Knox had quite a few tries held up. Contrasting styles, knox dominant through rolling maul and power game generally, newington deadly in broken play…. Best for knox 2, 6,9, 10, 12, For newington 1,6, 10, 14, 15

I saw them play knox this year which they lost (they also lost to knox last year at view). In last years game O’Donnell was the dominant figure for view, his battle with Jarah from Knox was immense. This year I would say the difference was probably that lack of X factor from view… they scored a...

Can’t disagree with you Snort, you make a lot of sense. It’s further complicated by the strategies of some schools. Barker for instance are putting out a strong first xv year on year but can only field minimal teams in year 7 and 8 so they can’t be in an all of school tier one arrangement…. The...

Agree, shore were great today…
