For Barker you mean?
Looking forward to seeing the u16’s CHS and Gen Blue 7, Nick Russell in CAS next year with Barker. Hear he is starting term 4 with a few others - a future schoolboy star!

Those barker boys are pure and noble?
Or those barker boys are all scholarship kids, as shore didn’t want them?
I do agree some good footballers have been landing at Birrell street... but whether Nick politis is the man picking up the tab, or it’s a byproduct of Waverley beating joeys in 2017
Who knows who cares
And as joker has identified...My sauces are rubbish ... and frankly probably just levels the playing field as barker and Knox definitely offer scholarships...even to Waverley boys as happened recently
Anyways 2019 I think going to be an even comp ... and all look competitive imho

Who knows SDW, maybe Knox will offer more Waverley players the chance to head up North again?

Not sure what your trying to get at but if Im correct most of those boys have had at least 1 or 2 years of barker rugby (Except for Nercessian). As for Galloway hes been at barker since year 4, pretty sure pollard and cameron came through the prep school aswell.
Theres a difference between growing and developing great rugby players & outright sourcing them from another school/club a week before the season starts.

Asquith Boys, St Leo’s catholic College and central coast grammar would disagree.

Fair call casrugby2017,
Some of the boys mentioned actually came to Waverley because other schools didn't want them, 1 in particular, and 2 of them have started in year 10.
I also think all schools have offered spots before, it is not new.
Your Knox team next year sounds like it will be strong, much like the Cranbrook team from this year.
That's great for CAS rugby and it is very unlike Knox not to be strong.

I feel like next year it will be a race between Knox/Waverley. It was a building year for Knox in 2018 and no doubt they will have a big pre season

For waverleys team next year your forgetting some 16s players this year like Jeager, Braham, and Ferguson and the fullback for 16a's this year
And for the backs you have Fagin coming back I think.
and then I think Charlie howe who played 3s unlucky not to play higher this year could maybe move the backline around a bit playing 10 or maybe even 9 watching him in the welsh game he has a great pass
theres no doubt that waverley will be the frontrunners into 2019.... Cant wait

Also to keep in mind, the CAS 16's Class of 2019 had plents of NSW Schools Reps.
In the 16a's nsw schools, hawkes (T) , pollard (B), galloway (B) & constable (K). Also, LHW was in the team but was in CCC at the time.
In the 16b's nsw schools, cameron (B) , kablau (K) , rechner (K) , hughes (K).
Hopefully for some of these boys they can replicate what they did as a 16 now at opens (much like pollard & hawkes have done this year).

Jack, Love your enthusiasm here, but as yet not sure that the players you have mentioned are opens proven, let alone make the Waves front runners. They may be, but a long long way to go.
From what I see there is a new school of boys that will be joining the 1st XV ranks for many schools, but Cranbrook,Knox, and Barker have a large number of 1st XV boys back from this year.
So from what others are saying it's between Barker, Knox and Cranbrook in 2019.
I am also told Aloys and Trinity will have some returning experience and will threaten.
IF all that happens, the finishing board may look something like this :
1st : Barker/Knox/Cranbrook
4th : Aloys/Trinity.
6th : Waverley.
Wait and see.

Too true WLF, as good as they may be in the 16's, its a completely different game transitioning from 16's to opens. I think Knox will be a serious threat this year with their program changing over the upcoming summer season and there being 14/15 of the projected team having started in the 1st XV sometime throughout the 2018 season this bringing a lot of experience to the paddock which the younger boys just won't have. Knox will be the sleeping giants of the 2019 season

From what I have personally seen this year, observing most CAS schools 1st and 2nd XV's, and seeing a few 16A's games, I can say that just about all CAS schools have genuine reasons to be optimistic for the 2019 season.
I will say this.
Barkers 1st XV team next year will not be as strong as this years championship team but it will not be a also ran like 2015/2016.
Knox will be stronger next year than this year.
Trinity have a few stars in the making for 2019 but will it result is a successful season? This year was not a good season despite the stars in the side.
Cranbrook will be a contender in 2019.
Waverley with Hutchinson-Walters will be a huge threat.
Aloys will be a disruptor as they are every year, but not a title threat.

If Hutchison Walters is the Boy who carved up Barker a couple of times wearing jersey 24 could someone please buy him a jersey with the right number (even I will chip in if the hat is passed around) - and he is one to watch. The ease with which he ran through the backline belies his years. I can see another double v rep coming with higher honours. Where do these kids come from?
