CAS Rugby 2023

[JackFreshie101]

I have heard news Waverley is about to bring in a shifty 10 from NZ named Gus Anderson.
He was a gun upcoming junior but unfortunately had a bad leg injury causing him to miss 1 year and a half of footy.
He has had a major resurgence and caught the eyes of many NRL teams such as the Illawarra steelers but has decided to take his talents to the superior sport union.
I am excited about what he could do for that Waverley team and is a smokey for that gen blue spot.

as a matter of fact i have heard the name. Young Saint Augustines juniour, i've watched him play before.
a very skillful player, great side step and eyes up footy.
Great signing Waverley.

This is fake news there have been no new boys enrolling at Waverley in the year 10. Please do not spread false news on this forum

Anyone know an aloys lineup? hopefully a good year for the blue and gold!

Not sure, I heard Kellen Parker is captain though.

 

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Any scores from today?

 

[RedOrDead]

Any scores from today?

Yes.

I know Pats (who are relatively strong this year with Alex Conti and Mitch Woods head-lining the team) beat Trinity 29-0. Good effort to beat any team to nil.

Barker beat Oakhill 6 tries to 1. Oakhill were of course supposedly strong this year. Poynton bagged a double. Barker apparently looked dominant all game. Not sure if Oakhill were missing anyone as I have no idea about their squad. Perhaps Barker are stronger than we thought?

Barker 42. Oakhill 7. Both sides rusty

Barker 42. Oakhill 7. Both sides rusty

Rod sounds like you know more than me. Any word on how the boys played? Any standouts?

 

[William McIlrath]

Any word on the Pius game heard some murmurings of a vicious Aloysius?

Nick Hill was strong as was the barker no 8

 

[Hercules Von Grimmelshaus]

Barker 42. Oakhill 7. Both sides rusty

Barker looked good for my money. Back line was looking good across the board. Forwards wise No8 was a stand out as was No3. I think Barker will be stronger than many think this year. Good to see the 2nds post a win as well and I think without the rain it would have been by a bigger margin

 

[Snort]

Getting belted by St Pats is not an encouraging sign for Trinity...

 

[Hector]

St Aloysius went down 7-19 to Pius. Same margin as last year’s opener and I think 4th year in a row St Pius have taken that opening win. A little “same ol’” for Aloys. Couple of good forwards in the open-side skipper and the Year 11 tighthead lock. But really lacking size and effectiveness. Not a lot of zip in the back 3, but #13 who was excellent last year will be their hope.

There’s some positives elsewhere in the program. A new head of rugby (Jack Gooding in, Brendan McKibbin departed) and some wins lower down: 2nds an epic 3-all draw, a win in the 3rds and depth enough to have a 4ths this year. Both 16s sides got wins. The 15s, who only have one team, look much better than last year. The 14s went down but there’s some real talent in that As side and perhaps in a good sign the 13s teams both won, the As in a tight one and the Bs getting up by more than 30.

So some positives throughout the whole group, but in the Firsts, there’s been no CAS wins since 2019 and despite some opportunities in the invitationals, it’s hard to think that they’ll be able to knock one of the other CAS teams off this year.

Darcy Standfield not to good after watching his Randwick game greedy and doesn't no how to pass the ball but some good news Felix Turnui back good new for Waverley 1st

Ruben would obliterate every single one of these boys. Will be interesting to see Noah Jackson go against Ruben Stock on the 3rd of June down at Kings park (Passing of Queen Elizabeth)

Typical Waverley boys can't get their grammar right.

Hey Hector,

I have been informed in the Aloysius 2's had two tries disallowed, crossing of the line twice despite the 3-3 score. In stark contrast to the nil penetrations from Pius of the try line, hence a degree of sheer indefatigability coming out of the Aloys defence. It also ought to be noted a red card coming from Pius's 7 I believe, swearing at the ref (warned multiple times), quite disgusting the lack of respect tolerated and seemingly perpetuated by Pius's on field culture with regard to respect towards the ref. Also some injuries coming out of this game Pius 12, 4 and 6 if I recall correctly obviously disadvantageous for them, as well as a head knock for the big 12 from Aloys he seemed quite promising though not much ball time.
