Barker typically rest several players for the stannies game. Key players and anyone under an injury cloud will most likely be rested giving plenty of 2nds and 16As boys a chance.

Since this trial season has involved many CAS vs ISA matchups due to the return of the AAGPS home and away round schedule, what are everyone's thoughts on a combined or 2 tier competition? Personally, I see it as a great opportunity to help schools' rugby programs flourish as they verse schools with similar depth and strength.

A good idea in theory. But it only works for 1st XV teams. It doesn’t help make good match ups across the board eg in CAS Barker would be considered one of the stronger CAS schools in first grade, but they have the same amount of teams across the board as St Aloysius. So all the other teams that Knox/Waverley have to end up playing all over sydney in the Barker fixture.
As you mention this is about school rugby programs as a whole. But if you were focused on just focused on the first XV comp, it sounds like a positive step. But it can’t just be about that level of rugby for whole school approaches to rugby programs.

Would the answer to that be for it to be an opens based comp and if some teams have to play each other more than once in the lower grades then so be it?
When my son played Prep 1sts the competition was run by IPSHA and they ended up playing 10 matches with schools from CAS, GPS and ISA.
Totally separate, as a lead up to the season they played the TAS tournament up at Armidale.
Perhaps a similar model can be run just for opens in a ranking system which is predetermined in a TAS like tournament?

New information that Cranbrook number 8 Noah Jackson will not be playing this Friday at Easts due to a shattered finger. Apparently he was devastated..
Although, Kaleb Ah-Colt (3) and Jaxson Allen (10) are back this week.
Very excited for this weeks contests.

Drew must be Mitchell’s brother. A strong rugby family.
Poynton at captain shows his potential as a year 11 kid.

Yeh I would be all for this idea, but i imagine this is logistically very unlikely due to the rich history of our great CAS comp.

Yep he is.
For all those who didn't know, Mitchell holds the record for the most points in a single CAS game.

G,
I will step in here before a number of people take your bait as being sincere with your comment.
I actually agree with probably 99% of your comments, you get Rugby!
BUT you are 1 of those who only wants 6 schools to play out for rulers of the universe, ie the AAGPS!.
Bugger a better and bigger 1sts comp, and that is your view.
Like many I disagree with your insular view but everyone has their opinion.
The reality is other non-GPS people also have strong feelings about their schools and associations, believe it or not, but can get over their own little world.
There are solutions to the difficulties of team match ups etc, it's just that some schools and people have no interest in making things better, ie a bigger and better matched up comp, it's called progress, and we know that some have NO interest in progress!
