Hi RL, I beg to differ, the View side last year was terrific but IMO not as good as the Waves side which played 8 games and won 8. Eg few examples, Waves defeated Kings at Kings 53-22, View beat Kings 12-10 , Waves beat Shore at Shore 48-12, and Knox beat View 22-19 or...

Spot on Snort, it IS the emphasis that schools place on their Rugby programs, there have been scholarship boys over the recent years but they don't always work out well...

Guys, It's not as carefree as you say, the As teams play each other, which is probably correct, don't forget boys from all schools also play club etc so anyone in an A team should be up to it. After that level, the sports masters are very careful in every program, that is why some schools Bs...

Hi ap1, I am just a CAS parent but I do know a little bit about what you are saying. Across the CAS schools, come CAS comp time, the A teams will play each other, guess that makes sense, but like you, there will be some serious mismatching. From what I know/have heard Knox and Waverley have...

J, Here are my tips for this round, Barker, Shore, Kings, Joeys, and Knox.

Its sure does Snort, but it's a league spelling!

Hi Props, the Waves 1sts defeated Newington last Sat 22-14, the 2nds lost 12-5, and the 3rds lost 15-5. It was a tough wet ground for both teams and the 2rds and 3rds game could have gone either way, very few tries. The Waves 1sts could have scored more points than 22 but for final passes...

Hi L2S, As a Waves dad whose remaining boy at school plays league on Sunday with these 1ts XV Waves boys here's a few observations, which I am sure may attract some comments. I might add I was an old Wave school player so burn me if you feel the need, it's all fun here. Playing league as an...

Rippa, FYI, the old 10 rounds wasn't the norm, I think it was only in play for about 10 years, prior to that ie 50+ years there was always a cross comp theme, which was far more telling than playing the same 5 teams over and over. I am still of the belief that playing other association schools...

New boys, unfortunately the 13s 14s and 15s were all cancelled at Newington and Queens Park. Only the 13fs Es and Ds played early at New, then the rest were called off, same with the 16s etc, only the 16As played, which was a terrific game in tough conditions.

Sorry J, but I did choose Joeys over Knox, page 42 of the AAGPS forum. A perfect round I think.

Joker, I don't want to bug you but I picked Joeys not Knox.

View 34 Cranbrook 7.

Yes Joker, tough for both sides with a rain affected ground. Waves led 19 nil after 20 mins, and 22-7 at oranges. Newington then scored a good backline try to make it 22-14. Waves held the territorial advantage most of the 2nd half and crossed a couple of times but to be denied, not sure why...

LUUVVV DEATH VALLEY!

W, I think you are probably correct ie Somewhere in between. I know Waves definitely had 4 out but given the Flu and injuries at the moment to all schools, I bet Shore did too! Having watched last weeks game v Shore, the take out was the improvement of the Waves side. This age group has been...

Hi W, You are spot on this game should be a beauty, we are well aware that the New side is very strong. I hope it hasn't rained too much at Stanmore! It has rained quite a bit over here. If New win the 16as I think they will definitely be in the running to win the GPS, along with the obvious...

Hi Joker, Thank you I was kicking myself I missed the tipping kick off, may I please join and I realize it will be a tough climb from 0, but who cares, it's fun! My Tips for this week View Kings Shore Joeys Waves Thanks again.

J, there are many similar examples over the years, sorry, but using Trinity is a poor example. I am suggesting that the 1sts game doesn't have to mirror the same school throughout the age groups . ALL the other teams could play another school that...

Joker, as you well know, you can make friendships with lots of people, which I really enjoy! Not just a small band, AND I agree Tradition is VERY important, thus the various comp winners acclaimed within a bigger/stronger comp should probably be kept, no probs...
