Very proud of the CAS lads in both teams tonight. They were in it the entire way. GPS lads probably had more class in the backs. The Shore 9 in the 2nds game scored and set up two of their tries and probably shaded Hwi from Joeys in the GPS1sts as the best 9. In both games, GPS had probably 55% to 60% possession and that was reflected in the score board. Very impressed with the speed of Tom Far-Jones in the GPS 2nds. Credit to CAS front row in both teams. They never buckled and in the 1sts game I think the CAS probably shaded their GPS counterparts just, especial Johnathon Ryan the Knox 7. He was outstanding. 2 tries were scored by GPS1sts when CAS lost their centre to the bin for ten minutes for a lifting tackle. Also for those doubters who thought the young Barker 10 (Harrison Dean) would not cope, well he played exceptionally well and did not look out of place. He could grow into a special player. The GPS winger Tonga was very dangerous. He gets up to greased lightening pace in 3 steps and was a handful all night. all in all it was a great nights rugby. Congrats to our GPS colleagues who deserved both wins tonight.

Rod, I generally agree with your insight but I differ tonight.
Having watched many years of these contests I was completely underwhelmed by the level of footy tonight.
Teams from previous years would have flogged all these sides IMO.
Execution was average at best, lots of dropped balls, poor passing and poor kicks.
The 3 major standouts for me was the Shore no 9 in the 2nds, the Kings winger Tonga in the 1sts, and the Knox no 7 in the 1sts.
The GPS backs in the 1sts completely dominated the CAS 1sts, and the cover defense at critical times by the CAS backs was poor, to say the least.
2 GPS tries came from very badly missed tackles on the sideline. None of our backs played exceptionally well.
The forward contest was a much better match up.
GPS definitely deserved to win both games.

Agreed, was expecting rugby of a higher calibre. However, I thought Ah-colt and Nuilala were outstanding in the 2nds game. Nuilala needs to sort out his discipline. Was penalised lots in the game on Saturday as well. Both were very unlucky to not be selected in the CAS 1sts.

Were there any injuries to note that would mean shadow players would come up for Friday?

Is it true that 2 players in the CAS 1sts team repeated? Being Jono Ryan and Van Wyk.

This is not good ethics of the schoolboy game. Would say it did not really help them last night although Jono Ryan was really great last night.

CAS performance last night was average. We received great service from Knox as they were giving out Apples for free on entry. Did everyone enjoy the Apples?
Few players I wanna wrap really very quickly. Jonas Dowling (2). His throws were beyond amazing and played a crucial rule in the malls. Jonathan Ryan (7). One of the best tacklers I have ever seen coming out of Knox.
The team really needed players like Aboud, Ah-Colt, Pule and a change up in backline. GPS should've put a lot more on CAS but they played quite awful as well. I don't think its the players, more emphasis on a change in coaching staff.

Yeah heard those apples were very good, rumours are that Priests were out the front handing them out, can anyone confirm?
I agree performance based, I thought Deane (10) handled himself well against a very physical GPS team, Ryan (7) very physical and good tackler, Dowling (2) executed every throw, and was in the winning pack.
I think the GPS (9) won the battle of the 9s and the captains, seemed he lead his team around better than the CAS (9). With that being said both players played very well and I personally think they will be pushing for a spot in the Gen blue sides,
Tonga (11) GPS was amazing not surprised he has signed with the wallabies.
The actual game itself I thought was poor, and a step down to what the game should've been. Lots of drop ball and a scrappy game in general.
generally that's meant to happen. Which post is it? You can always click report on the offending posts
