Knox 29 trinity 7 halftime 5 tries to 1

I agree that the Knox line out is a little inconsistent, so Trinity should be able to put some pressure on there. At this stage the biggest weakness for Knox is their inconsistency and ability to give away penalties. If a side can put on continual pressure and get possession and territory Knox...

Agree. I do criticise refs, but as an ex-ref they do see things differently from those win the stands. In general they do try their hardest in a difficult and un-thankful task. The main faults are inconsistency and not having a feel for the game (i.e. too many pedantic penalties and not using...

At this stage I don't think that Rugby is necessary booming at Knox. Like many schools there are additional options for the kids that weren't there previously. Soccer (or football as they like to call it) has become more popular and acceptable. I think AFL has made these schools targets and...

I am writing a longer report but a few points in relation some previous analysis of mine. Which like this one is on a phone rather than a more studied effort on other devices. My thoughts about the ref being harsh on Knox and soft on Waverley? The penalty ratio would have been around 3 to 1 to...

And it is good that Cranbrook is being talked about as one of the top sides this year.

Knox 58 Waverley 31

39 to 17 (6 tries to 2) to Knox Considerable penalty content against Knox - probably keeping waverley in the game

He is out, or at least not in the program. Their depth in the seconds looked ok though. Knox 69 Waverley 7. 11 tries to 1 and 7 tries to nil in the second half

CAS Rd # 2 – Sat 10th May St. Aloysius’ v Trinity Cranbrook v Barker Knox v Waverley The Cranbrook/ Barker game should be the match of the round. Aloys vs Trinity could be an entertaining affair with Trinity coming through at the end. Both sides seem to be a bit light on with depth. You...

Left before game end Knox 33 barker 7 when I left Knox giving away a lot of penalties Barker captain and 10 smerdon went off injured first half

They say tomorrow is likely to be cold and wet. That probably favours sides with the better forward packs and goal kickers. If the conditions are wet and greasy the scoring will kept down resulting in close games with a possible slight advantage to the home side. That said the away sides are...

All away teams! Though fair picks I think.

Knox 43 St Pats 14 (7 tries to 2) St Pats were dogged, persistent and tried hard all day. They tackled hard and scored first to lead for a while. It was 7 all at half time. In the 2nds 50 nil to knox

@Elfster, from the ISA thread. Thanks HJ

Does anyone know the result of the Trinity/ St Pats game? As Knox will be playing St Pats on the 26th it may give some idea of the relative strength of some of the CAS schools before the competition starts.

Though it is quite common for teams with good pre-season form to lose that during the season! One of those little mysteries...

I am not sure of yesterday's team. It looked a little different from the sides that played Marist Canberra and Joeys. The games are still trial matches and it is early in the season, but the improvement the team showed from the Joey's game should please the coaching stuff. They must have...

Don't know of the final score as I left with Newington hard on attack with minutes to go, but Knox were leading 45 - 14 (7 tries to 2)

Zero from two for my tipping, but two good games to start the round nevertheless. The Rebels defence is much improved and they look like a team with great spirit. Probably still a little too much kicking I think and it took a while to get their attack in gear, but they improved during the game...
