CAS Rugby 2022

[Jumping_jack]

Preketes, Bailey, Baggs, Read and Livingstone all outplaying there CAS 1’s counterparts today.

I didn’t see much of Baggs. But Livingstone good. I thought Sagala when he came in showed a bit more promise at 12 too.

Only four CAS starters enhanced their selection prospects there: Hooper, Philipson, Edwards and Saunders. Preketes and Bailey, too, from the bench.

Edwards was good around field - but his throw should see him selected - I don't think he missed a throw to the back all day.

Looked lost defensively a few times. Strong ball runner though.

He is fairly one dimensional in attack as well.

Game over 24 - 7

Best on ground - I still think Phillpson was good. But Bailey for me was the standout and he was from the bench. Everything worked better with him on the field.

I know I have Waverley eyes - but the difference in the team when Preketes came on was huge. He was the only forward that offered genuine momentum and go forward.

Saunders played well if not doing too much - he should have almost been better selected at 15?

It’s quite breautiful that the best player in the CAS competition this year May very well be from the team that comes in last place.

Bravo Bailey and the staff at St Aloysius for his contribution this week and the rugby season.

Barker 15 gifts first points of the day to CHS 14.

CHS winning 7 - 0

This was a poor decision. Direct pass to the opposition.

The CAS team I would pick after these games.

1. Sayoun
2. Edwards
3. Preketes (Finau potentially if healthy)
4. Ekenyake
5. Probably Ericsson ? No real standout.
6. Halotokoau (Will Kennedy if healthy)
7. Livingstone
8. Hooper
9. Phillipson
10. Bailey (Katoa)
11. Jahnke - Tavana
12. McCleod
13. Sagala
14. Read
15. Saunders

Would like to move Hooper to 2 row, but there isn’t a replacement for him at 8 IMO.

I know it’s a lot of Barker kids (this is definitely gonna annoy a few people lol) but realistically is there any other options? Potentially the Knox wingers could make an argument. Nosa Obaseki too but he’s still clearly coming back from injury and Edwards played alright today.

Poynton is a great player but should have been kept in the 16’s this year.

So nsw teams are being selected tonight with Gen Blue 1 being the premier team. Personally I only see Saunders, Hooper and Phillipson making that team - Maybe Preketes at a stretch. I don’t think it’s been a particularly good 2 games for any CAS players to be honest.

Of course this assumes Katoa isn’t available

I want to highlight I hope Sayoun gets to the next level after his performance on Tuesday. He was very good then. Likely fatigued today as a lot of the boys would have been.

Very loose with the ball in hand today and got caught out in defence. His scrummaging was good.

Likely these are the 4 selected for next level for CAS.

i hope Bailey too.

He wasn’t great today. But one of our best on Tuesday.

I think pretty clear the CAS selections were very wrong.

Hopefully there are some changes made for 2023 to make sure more kids have the chance to make higher honours when the teams have greater success.

Agreed by many.

Again as I pointed out two simple changes of Preketes into firsts and not picking a year 10 student would have made a world of difference.

And everyone who knows anything about rugby would agree with those two changes.

Agreed. Not enough Barker.

Up now

Hard to work out whether each position has a ranking. I.e the first name listed is the starter in gen blue 1… it appears that way more often than not

Saunders in the back 3 is interesting

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

More signs the CAS selectors stuffed up.
Bailey and Preketes picked ahead of their CAS spots.

And Barker 15 nowhere to be found.

Daily telegraph disagrees with all you blokes

He didn’t get picked anywhere, so didn’t perform that well.

How surprising an article from the Barker coach has him promoting 3 Barker players.
