CAS Rugby 2023

Sounds like a ridiculous amount of injuries.

Yes. That would be the only problem with this.

Yes. That would be the only problem with this.

I wouldn’t say the ONLY problem with this.

I'm keen to see everyones thoughts on this idea.
With the recent rise of the NRL and the subsequent downfall union in Sydney, should CAS consider a switch to the superior 13 aside game?
It would mean more opportunities for up-and-coming schoolboy talent due to the mass fan base and money in the league.
Schools such as the glorious Waves are already importing tons of league talent anyway, so it only makes sense!

Union is dead... lets stop flogging a dead horse here lads. (ignore the username)

Unionlover1985,

Good luck with that.
Will never happen.
League will die within 20 years as its a limited market with viewership only on the Eastern Seaboard and parts of NZ, Pacific Islands and Northern England.
Ordinary International Game - not even France want to host the "World Cup" .
State of Origin now diluted with "Tier 2" International players allowed to play.
More former players being diagnosed with CTE ... matter of time before is a class action with regards to CTE which will send the game broke.

Sorry, meant one of them, there would be more.

 

[Hercules Von Grimmelshaus]

so just like Barker then?

You should check the scores for Barker lower ages before making these assertions. 13A’s in particular are very strong this year. Big win over Newington among others

I'd worry more about it not happening here. It's not a topic for discussion.

Permanent or temporary action?

You don't comprehend well, do you?
Have a rest.

Hi Unionlover, Bit ironic,

I agree a league format could be a great opportunity for a different style of rugby. For the sake of history I do not think this is possible. Might it be better for a union format during winter and a league format during summer?

All this would do is drive more kids to gps. The league pathways have been set up through clubs union through schools. Not all kids can play both league and Union, the last thing we need is those boys being driven off to top gps schools and further reducing the talent pool in schoolboy rugby

Last years barker 1st team were strong the whole way through, not as strong as waves but definitely one of the stronger schoolboy line ups

pius rolling through CAS teams, pretty strange IMO, most clashes against 2nds but they have been 30+

Pretty sure St Aloysius 1s beat them. I could be wrong.
Rucko out

Does anyone have any info on Waverly 3rd XV and how they are shaping up this season?

 

[pocockenthusiast1973]

No. It is a CAS 3rd XV team.

Why is this of any importance.

 

[schoolboyfooty]

Does anyone have any info on Waverly 3rd XV and how they are shaping up this season?

Pretty much the same as all Waverley teams at the start of the season being affected by injuries but going into CAS a very strong team with the likes of Tobias Neilsen (VC), their explosive winger Jacob and who I'd say has been their best player so far the Cowboy Archie Mcinally

 

[Braveheart81]

I don't really care whether you're a schoolkid or an adult, the same rules apply to everyone.

Stop posting garbage.

If people want to talk about the 3rd XV they can.

Cranbrook playing St Augustines (again) with 1s and 2s playing tonight at Easts

 

[Crashy]

a few of the Augs 16bs sounding confident as they beat Brook in a previous game. I gave counsel that such pre-game bluster best be contained....
