I like the thinking here Black and White but I'll offer some thoughts on why most of those options are unlikely (sorry to rain on your parade!): St. Gregs - still has strong League ties and doesn't offer strength or numbers in other sports. I think only recently became a full member of ISA St...

The only issue here though is that there are no co-ed schools that would be of a size, standard and have a Saturday sport program that Barker girls don't already play in ISA.

Yes I tend to agree. I like the logic but I think the reality is significantly different.

It does kind of make the assumption that there's a waiting list of Independent schools simply biding their time before they go to CAS. Given the shabby treatment that Pius and Pats experienced the last time expansion was on the cards, it may be easily said than done. ISA was borne out of a lack...

I would be keen to hear from an Aloys person what their thoughts are about this. Has there been a catalyst for this decline? What's the air/mood in the school about this?

It might NOT be another 10 years before you have to revisit your old post Snort :)

A self cuffing!!! :D

Still a fortnight off (are any teams playing over the long weekend?), but here are my thoughts on rd 2: St. Augustines v Oakhill at Rat Park (I assume?) - I think the result of this game will be the strongest indicator yet of who's who in the zoo. Oakhill's win in Orange will generate some...

Ok well that's proof irrefutable that I would be a hopeless tipster. I predicated big wins to Auggies and Pats and a close game for Oakhill and the exact opposite happened! Congrats to Auggies on the win but a big thumbs up to Greg's on that performance. Much closer than what I would have thought.

Any news from the Auggies/Gregs games?

Yes and it just goes to show that trials are one thing, but comp games are another. A pretty good game out at Strathfield today - good crowd and great footy. Teams yet to play Pius.... take them easy at your peril. They had very little ball to work with and yet what they did get, they used...

Very close game at Strathfield. 29 - 27 to Pats. I'll report fully soon

Rd 1 Predictions: Don't know if things are that clear cut just yet but here goes - Kinross v Oakhill @ Orange - On paper, this should be an easy win for Oakhill, but previous comments eluding to irregular team sheets from Oakhill and a rapidly improving Kinross muddies the water somewhat -...

Thanks west best

You certainly get the feeling that each game will be the luck of the draw and how many of each teams first graders are fit and well that day. I doubt there will be one game across the whole comp that will pit the 15 best against the other schools 15 best

Thanks 20shire. Did they play TAS in week 1 this term? If so, what was the score?

Thanks propsarespeedy - I suppose it was borne out of wanting to know more about what was going on in ISA Rugby and coming up with nix most years. I'm a Pats Old Boy and am always keen to hear how things are going. The ISA website doesn't elicit much info so if this can be a place where...

So with the trials all done and dusted, I thought I'd take a crack at making some predictions for the coming ISA season. I have seen none of these teams in action and are going off scores only. Will be interesting to revisit this at season's end. I have scores from most matches but there are...

Oakhill drew Waverly 40-40 (Wonder what the odds would have been to get a scoreline like that? Must have been an epic match) Gregs over Aloys 22-20 Kinross down to Cranbrook 22-17 Auggies down to Kings 17-14 (even if Kings rolled out some 2nds in this game, I think that's a pretty reasonable...

How did Aloys go?
