Id say the opposite; conversation needs to be led by the bigger schools to achieve change!?Ultimately that discussion probably has to be led by the smaller schools.
But with the current closeness of the GPS 1sts comp I don't see them getting rid of the two rounds any time soon.
Personally would prefer the CAS comp to be fully played in Term 2 before Rep selections. Then you can play a 2nd round, or have more meaningful games against some of the IAS teams.
Goodness me.. give it a rest mate.. it’s 10 months away.Obviously season has just wrapped up, but would be interested if anyone has a predicted 1st CAS team for next year, would imagine the big names such as Caswell, Orr, Dene, etc. But anyone new on the come up for this team?
Agreed: start with school by school 2025 1XV team list predictions first!Goodness me.. give it a rest mate.. it’s 10 months away.
I'll start with the contenders (apols if missed anyone, I don't know all the players, please add!) in each position (alphabetical with any incumbants in bold) for Knox:Agreed: start with school by school 2025 1XV team list predictions first!
Anyone want to have a crack(s) of who will wear numbers 1,2,3….15 for:
Aloys
Barker
Cranbrook
Knox
Trinity
Waverley

not that I can imagine, and Knox historically really doesn't seem to push yr 10s up like other schools seem too.... generational talent like Caswell or where there's huge positional depth deficits are the exceptionGood job Mule and 50cent. Think at this time of year all you can throw out is options - a lot can change in 9-10 months.
Also any standouts in the 15s this year that might play up?
Thoughts on S Ive, N Gallagher, T Neal, L Hill from the 16s? From what I’ve seen they’re impressive as a non-Barker observer…. Any others?Barker:
1. Mcintosh(2nds)/falaniko-brown(2nds)
2. Graham (1sts)
3. Daly? (1sts)/falaniko-brown(2nds)
4. Tahj smith (1sts)
5. Joel stovold (16a)/falaniko-brown(2nds)
6. Quon Gibb (1sts)
7. Hugo Wilson (1sts)
8. Tj Talaileva (1sts)
9. Rath (1sts)
10. Dene (1sts)
11. Hargreaves (2nds)
12. James Archer (1sts)
13. Joel stovold (16as)/???
14. Lucas ward(16as)/ Boston Bryne (16as)
15. Lucas ward(16as)/ Boston Bryne (16as)/Hargreaves (2nds)
Put a question mark next to Daly, I know hes meant to be in yr 12 but he could potentially be doing pathways given he has another yr in u18s. No clue about barkers backs either.
