CAS Rugby 2022

CAS U16s. Word from the trials is a number were preselected and didn't have to do anything. Surprising Knox seem to be the leading team and have limited numbers. Fair spread from the schools though.

Agree there are a few kids from Knox who could feel hard done by but a number of other schools have U16s playing in their opens - eg Trinity, Cranbrook, Barker while Knox doesn’t have any. So Knox should overperform a little in the 16s this year.

Yes, at Trinity, if you're under 16 and good, you're in the 1sts.
 
Wayne Bennett talking about the Barker 10. Glowing support from one of the best.

if the kid is 19 why is he playing 1stXV school rugby? Are Barker that desperate to win they give these guys scholarships?

And anyway kids - sorry men - can play in open division if they are 19. They can’t turn 20 in the year of competition, so if a 19 yo turns 20 on 31 December of that playing year he is ineligible.

Yeah…. GPS do it differently - it’s no older than 18 during the season or school year (I can’t remember which) that allows the boy who is held back starting school in kindergarten (who subsequently turns 19 in December of year 12) to play which is very different to someone born in January and is 19 for the whole school year.

And the Knox winger Evans was disallowed in 2020 after playing 2 years in the firsts… ended up having to play Gordon colts in his final year at school… I don’t think that’s right.. he had a slight physique and to my knowledge was at the school since either the prep or year 7.

I'm not sure about this. Know a boy who played 1stXV at a GPS school only a couple of years ago. Turned 19 BEFORE the rugby season. Was more than two whole years older than some of the boys in his grade.

He probably got dispensation. This is the policy compared to the cas policy. Both can be subject to review by each members committee on a case by case basis. But the GPS base case is more sensible IMO

Can’t believe Jay Harris didn’t make the 16’s after playing 2nds and 1sts for Knox. He also couldn’t play State Cup for Manly due to that so now isn’t on the mix for Gen Blue u16’s which is a real shame.
Agreed. Great player and captained Manly to win at State last year and got MOTM in final.
