They lost a few CAS games last year?
Makes a difference when the cattle changes as significantly as it does in older years in the CAS comp these days.

RR, I was referring to when they were in their age groups, all the way through, not last year when they were in year 1 of their 1st year in the Opens.
Yep, it goes without saying what a difference a few KEY players make, and they had too many KEY players out.
It's now about gaining match fitness and no more injuries thanks.
If all these stars align, can't wait to meet Cranbrook at Death Valley in round 1.

I cant wait either.If all these stars align, can't wait to meet Cranbrook at Death Valley in round 1.
The two teams have formed a strong rivalry since last years Cranbrook 2nds victory and a draw in the 1sts.
Round 1 will see a stunning atmosphere and a great contest at Waves home ground.
It appears as if you're a schoolboy here, mate, having only joined on Thursday. So let's not take the piss here.

Cranbrook taking on St Augustines under the lights of Easts rugby club this Friday, with the two schools playing each other some 4 weeks ago in a close affair with Cranbrook losing 12-7. Should be a very good game with hopefully many Cranbrook boys in attendance and I believe a few reunions occurring 2008/2013/2018 so a little bit of extra pressure to perform on the boys in white, Needing to gain a bit of confidence after a slight victory against Stannies, for the first round of CAS coming up against the College Of Knowledge in a star studded Eastern Suburbs derby.
Hey, guys new to Forum here but have been watching the CAS comp for a while and have been impressed with the talent across the comp. There are some great players coming through like Cameron Mackenzie from Cranbrook, the fullback from barker (Don't know his name), and Felix Turinui from Waverely. Would love to see these boys in professional rugby in the coming years.

Hopefully the weather is better for this one, as the reports were the last time these two teams met I believe there was talk about the weather drastically impacting the quality of footy.

Looking forward to our 30-year reunion in a couple of weeks at the Trinity game at Hordern. Hope to see you on Friday night.

Yeah the conditions last time out made for a slow kicking game and very low scoring outing. Hopefully an exciting, high scoring fast paced game this Friday.
Easts Rugby never disappoints. I'll bet the atmosphere and home ground for Cranbrook will give them the edge they need to beat Auggies. Have also heard injured players Noah Jackson and Kaleb Ah-colt may be returning for the brook this Friday. With key players like these two, Auggies must be on there A game.

Expecting some big wins this week as Waverley are matching up against St Gregs, and Knox are playing St Pats. Barker should beat Stannies by a great affair, despite the trip out. Oakhill should be wanting to bounce back against Trinity after the big loss to Knox last week. Cranbrook vs Auggies should be an interesting game, Cranbrook are getting a few players back from injury so it could go either way... Kinross should beat Aloys comfortably.

Didn't Scots beat Stannies by 80? That game could be a complete waste of time unfortunately. Waverley v St Gregs has the potential to be a good game. Gregs backline is pretty sharp but they have been playing a lot of 2nd XVs so it's hard to judge how they will hold up.

Barker should destroy them. I do think Waverley will have a dominant game as Gregs lost to Aloys earlier this season and only just beat Trinity two weeks ago.

I beg to differ! That young talented Auggies back line will once again, rip through the Cranbrook defence. Those posh boys won't know what hit them when they face the sheer dominance of waves in death valley on the 3rd. Go Waverley 2023!

Cranbrook v Auggies: Cranbrook 13+
Barker v Stannies: Barker 33+
Waverley v St Gregs: Waverley 17+
Knox v St Pats: Knox 21+
Trinity v Oakhill: Oakhill 15+
Aloys v Kinross: Kinross 7+
Should be a great final week of trials before CAS round 1 kicks off, I can see 4/6 CAS teams winning this weekend.

St Gregs beat Aloysius 45 - 7 last weekend, not much impact on my view on them coming into this week however, should be competitive and physical vs Waverly hopefully a tough matchup and test for the Waverly mob.

My predictions for this week
Cranbrook v Auggies: could come down to the wire but Cranbrook 1-10
Barker v Stannies: Barker 45+
Waverley v St Gregs: Waverley - could see it being close in first half but Waverly should pull away 15+
Knox v St Pats: Knox should take care of business easily 25+
Trinity v Oakhill: full discrepancy not too familiar on either program but from reading this thread Oakhill 15+
Aloys v Kinross: Kinross 15+, Aloys too many injuries at the moment seemingly
Should be good for teams ie Barker and Waverly to get some kilometres in the legs and ball in hands, and keep building consistency into the start of the big dance next week !
