Well done to waves. Only lost two games against Barker all day (4ths and 16a’s).

Report from Cranbrook - Trinity win 21 - 19
Trinity flew out to a 21 nil lead in the first half - Cranbrook were starved of the ball and not able to play their own game. As a Cranbrook supporter, there were a few dodgy calls but won’t use that as an excuse as Cranbrook had plenty of opportunities and were given plenty of penalties of their own. In the second half, Cranbrook finally got some ball and showed what they can do - laying on 3 nicely worked tries, however it was too little too late. Cranbrook fought hard but the 1st half let them down in the end.
I think Ah-Colt and Hatten-Ward both played themselves into CAS 1’s jerseys with their performances today - both were great. Trinity’s 8 and 15 were dangerous as well.
Looks like the Waverley-Knox game will be the decider.

Well done to Waverley their goal line defence got them over the line. Should be a number of boys from both teams in the CAS squad tonight. Defence from both teams was impressive.

Trinity 21-19 Cranbrook
Game of 2 halves
Trinity solid - minimal errors and some pace out wide for 3 converted tries (including what would be the winning 2 pointer from the sideline!)
Cranbrook loose. Dropped balls, poor lineout and kicking away possessions for no gain. 21-0
Then
Cranbrook with the ball in hand put together 3 well worked tries but again kicked it away too often and chose lineouts when they had the dominant scrum and a dodgy lineout.
Tactics and decisions proved the difference in what was a very even and hard fought matchup.

Anyone know what time the teams will be announced?

I thought for Barker, Weaver was a really good player. Did some great lines from the base of the ruck, is he year 10?
MacDonald and Poynting too are really good in attack. Just genuine threats with pace and skill. They should both be in CAS 1sts for me.

Defense was pretty impressive from both teams. Just some brilliant counter from Barker and trick plays for Waverley led to points.

From Watching today, and Cranbrook game.
I would pencil in the following players for CAS firsts:
1.
2.
3. Ah-Colt
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Niulala
9.
10.
11.
12.
13. MacDonald
14. Poynton
15. Jonti M-F
those are the only players I would feel confident putting in without seeing Knox. Niulala is a future wallaby for me. The best player I have seen for a long time.

I suppose the question has to be asked. Why did Knox let the score blow out like that? Is that really fair to St Aloysius and the CAS? It could have been managed better?

Yep he was probably Trinity’s best. But discipline is an issue - gave away a lot of penalties.

After today, I just want to have input that Ah-Colt must be there instead of Nick. He is almost the best tight head I have seen playing. Nick is still great- but Ah-Colt is a different level. Nick will have next year too.
