From what I've heard the fixtures are changing for next year. I believe its Waves vs Aloys first round for 2016 - not sure who's hosting. Has anyone heard anything along the same lines?
Contemplating the CAS fixtures occurring in 2016, one would assume that Waverley and Knox would be the dominant two teams. Barker lacks depth in their year 12 age group, due to this i personally believe that they will struggle to win a game. Trinity has a strong age group for next year, they will also be competing with the dominance of Knox and Waverley. I believe that Aloys will struggle to win games, also due to their lack of depth. Cranbrook seems to have quite a great chance to succeed in the 2016 competition, but too early to tell.
2016 will surely be a tough competition
That will depend on who leaves and who joins the school.
Stay tuned.
Waves will have one of there strongest teams in years although they have always have good teams. Possible line up would be something like this
1. F.Wright
2. L.Molloy/A.Hassan
3. ?
4. L. Drew-Morris
5. P. Clifton
6. ?
7. B. O'Sullivan
8. ?
9. M.Bell
10. T.Jordan
11. J.Yoandias
12. T. Fuller
13.?
14.L. Wallace
15.J.Mohi
Looking pretty strong and will only improve with possibly a few new kids coming and younger boys stepping up
You can add some names to that list of possibles: Paea, Cornish, Smith, Carr, Towns, Donaldson, Small, Murphy

Who is this paea kid? is he new
<snip>A newcomer to the College is big Jordan Paea - probably starting front row for the first XV next year, I think he may have spent some time at Newington and may also have come via Marist Brothers at Pagewood.<snip>

Zac Carr performed well when given an opportunity on the wing for the 1sts.

To early to tell this year, I got to disagree with RugbyHd, I think Barker have got some great youngsters and narrowly went down in the all four games (home/away) against Waves 2nds and 3rds (year 11 depth I assume), not sure how many are returning from the first XV. I also then think Trinity won't be up for it this coming season - once again not sure off the top of my head who's backing up from last year but both went down in cricket scores at Death Valley and 30+ margins at Trinity in 2nds and 3rds.
I think it will be between Waves and Knox and Cranbrook could challenge. But at this point - I hate to say it, my money would be on Knox as a try-to-be non-bias supporter of Waverley, but the boys will train hard and give their all. As usual, can't wait to watch.
Anyone know if any 15's have a shot at cracking 1sts next year?
predicted team and reasoning
1 J peia
2 F Wright
3 L Smith
4 P Clifton
5 L Drew Morris
6 L Small/T Murphy
7 Ben O'sullivan (needs to prove himself after a disapointing start, however showed a lot of promise in the 2s and short stints in the 1s in the backend of the 2015 season)
8 L Cornish
9 T Jordan (born to play 9 out of place last 2 years)
10 B Donaldson
11 J Mohi (out of place at 15, needs to just run the ball)
12 T Fuller
13 J Yoannidis
14 M Towns
15 Z carr
This team provides the most depth with people like M Bell, B Hardaker, dzabo, D Cartmer, N gregory and L Wallace all good quality players in the 2s Mohi on the wing will do great things as well as Jordan at 9 will play higher honours is he finds his feet in that role
Strong side Waves should be competitors for the 1sts and ends next year
