Thank you, seems to be quite a strong team again, not quite as strong as that incredible team last year though.

Seems like a very strong side, however their depth of talent is a lot more questionable than last year. Will be interesting to see if they survive the season. RUCKER out

In my expertise opinion, I am predicting this team doesn't have the grit to beat Knox or Aloys as those two have been partaking in both mental and physical pre-season.

MATE, ur a silly goose. Aloys will get thumped by Barker again. No chance they can handle barkers wrath, after a strong preaseason and with their returning 1s players. No chance.

Trial was competive and Barker just had the edge but it’s a trial so who knows. Couple of Year 10’s in the Barker team at 10 and 8 who both showed some good touch’s and didn’t look out of place. Knox has a couple of new boys by the look of it at fullback and reserve prop

Knox looked like they were either resting or had a few injured boys on the sideline

Very much a Knox thing to have injured players before the season even starts…

For me Barker looked to have the edge in the backs but Knox forwards looked a bit stronger. But pretty scrappy and lots of situational resets so who knows. The Barker 12 and 15 looked v strong and the Knox back row seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Does anyone know if there were any differences in the teams that played yesterday to the predicted lineups?

Barker trial Oakhill this weekend.
Will Barker put in superior effort ?
Barker are not last years team. Oakhill are a unknown. any insight on this game.

Given Oakhill's performance across the board against Barker at roughly this time last year, I think you could easily say Oakhill will be level pegging - if not warm favourites.
Oakhill won every grade from 2nds to 15C - the only loss was firsts by 9 points.

Barker showed lots of strong signs in the last 2 weeks against knox and daramalan and with a few players returning this week they should be up to it but oakhill will be very strong. Should be a tight game and could go eitherway
