CAS Rugby 2016

[Hugh Jarse]

The Henry Plume Shield for 2015 is all done and dusted. Apart from end of season 2015 reviews, which still should be on the CAS 2015 thread, it is time to move on to next season.

My tips for next years Henry Plume Shield

1st- Knox
2nd- Waverley
3rd- Aloys
4th - Trinity
5th- Cranbrook
6th-Barker

 

[SonnyDillWilliams]

Looking at how 2nds, 3rds and 16as fared in 2015, would have to tip knox going back to back in 2016 ... At least, If I had to bet my house on it

However I reckon going to be some real contenders.

Reckon cranbrook is going to have the best 10 in stenmark, and they didn't fare too badly in particularly 2nds and 16as, until stenmark was elevated

Plus excellent coaches

So cranbrook are in with a real shot, playing for a repeat of 2014

However I reckon waverley are the ones really due ... With Liam Cornish back from injury, and a good nucleus of players with loads of 1st xv time.

So if betting with my gut ... Reckon waverley a real chance to break their drought in 2016

Either way 2016 should be cracking season

Dainton will be returning from his 2015 season long injury and would've been best 10 in CAS this year.

Rhett Butler is in Year 12 unless doing Pathways.

Jordan Morris (12), James Armstrong (13) and James Wayland (3) should all make CAS 1's next year but were injured at rep time this year.

Pete Slaven is good enough to play anywhere in the backline but 9 may be his best chance of going all the way rep wise next year.

Milan Basson more an 8 than a 7.

You think that the CAS U16 next year will be strong? I think they might have a chance at beating GPS?

 

[konbar]

I imagine they will have a tidy 16's side, will many of the 15's make the opens cut next year will be interesting to see

I think some Knox and Waves might will be interesting to see tho!

How many cas made Nsw 15s vs GPS and Isa??

 

[jeff thomson]

How many cas made Nsw 15s vs GPS and Isa??

Not sure i think a few did but i know a couple of kids in that age play League

 

[konbar]

How many cas made Nsw 15s vs GPS and Isa??

2 CAS,9 GPS, 2 ISA

I'm pretty sure

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Be careful of anointing 14 year olds as future Wallabies, Australian Schoolboys or even extrapolating that selection into the State Junior Club team will guarantee School Association Selection at Open (U18) level.

For all sorts of reasons, and contrary to the beliefs, hopes and wishes of the parents of those selected, plenty of lads from the State U15 JRU team do not get selected for much in Year 12 and beyond.

Talent, attitude, application, fitness, and luck are all needed in fairly equal quantities.

 

[oldandslow]

Jordan Morris (12), James Armstrong (13) and James Wayland (3) should all make CAS 1's next year but were injured at rep time this year.

If these 3 boys are not injured it is hard to see any of them missing CAS 1st XV. I think they were all NSW Under 16s players. Here's hoping they are all looking good to be fit and available for CAS for next year - we'll need them against GPS, who will now doubt be very, very strong again.

 

[CatchnPass]

@Jeff Thomson, hard to say whether they'll be good enough to get over GPS or ISA (or indeed HJ whether any will see rep or even 1sts selections at Opens level!), but there were some handy players in CAS 15s this year. Just from the Nth side of the Harbour in 2016 there should be 9 players from this year's U15 State Champs winning Gordon team. Throw in the best from Waves (Sonny Dill Williams?) and to a lesser extent Trinity and Cranbrook and the 16s CAS team should at least be competitive.

Don't think Waverley have that many club rugby players but i know a lot of them play League

 

[jeff thomson]

It's a shane that Waverley rugby players would rather play club League then Rugby E.g Randwick

Alos has the best 10 without a doubt in Dainton. He is a seriously classy player but will be behind a small pack. Would have been great to see him this year but injuries got in the way

 

[CatchnPass]

The Waves leaguies play a reasonable game of rugby and they have a few forwards with requisite mongrel to rip into opposition packs.
