Jarrah McLeod is a surprise omission for me. Was relatively quiet against Waverley but dominant in every other game he has played this year. Seems odd that he’s not even listed in the shadow team. He can influence a game like few others

Agreed THP3……….well done to all the boys selected through the grades. My biggest disappointment is Rod backing up the the Barker team clearing a boy who was clearly concussed. The fact that Barker, after all the new boys miraculously making the 1st XV, will permit a boy given a blue card to play 7 days later…………..is completely opposite to what Rod preaches about Barker. Mate, he shouldn’t be playing……………simple.

The Barker team did not clear NSS to play. Independent qualified medical practitioners did. Fully compliant with ARU guidelines. Lets move on.
Its pretty quite on the GPS chat regarding their selections. Other than Bowen not being in the firsts it seems the selections are unsurprising.

Anyone know where all this goes this year?

There are NSW trials scheduled for mid-June, I think, but the Schools Rugby Union has announced that the usual State championships won't be played for Covid reasons and something yet to be announced will take its place. Anyone know what that something else is?

Respect to Alos for giving it a go and smart move to call time as they were running out of reserves. However poor form to note the year of commencement of the Alos team in the program, if they have an issue its not really the place to raise it.

Then on the final page of the program they talk about their Bursary program which they state is not to win trophies, premierships or boost ATAR's but seeing they require students to be assessed on academic potential doesn't add up. (Note I am an Aloys old boy and many in my year don't like the academic focus the school is heading in, as most of our diverse year would not qualify today)

Respect your opinion Flavio and perhaps it was not the right place to raise the issue and I don't necessarily like the academic focus the school is taking either. I was not at the game, however, this is what the parent of an Aloys year 6 boy wrote on Facebook regarding what his son told him about the game that his son watched, 'the blue and gold army cheered every tackle the 1st XV made and every scrum won. The other team just cheered when points were scored'. The parent went onto say he and his mates had a great time supporting the 1st XV. That's what school pride is about!

Personally, I was against having a tiered rugby system given the wonderful tradition and history of the CAS in all sports. I think now that for the sake of injuries it is sensible. Honestly, I actually thought the criticism of certain schools was not warranted, but until I saw that program you posted I now think otherwise. I don't like the way things seem to be headed in Rugby in the CAS and I back Aloys 100%. People who went to the game may disagree with what the year 6 boy said and they can put on this site what they like. I recon though the year 6 boy is not far wrong.

Having been at many schoolboy matches over the years, including this year, that is simply not correct. Cheering happens all the time, big tackles, breaks, defending the line, scrums and points. Sounds a bit like selective hearing for me.

Flav, you are normally much smarter than this comment.
I agree, I thought the Waves would get 6 maybe 7, Barker 1 or 2 more, and Knox 1 (and he didn't make it).
The selectors were NOT Waves people, at all, full stop.

Please don't start having a go about boys in teams eg Islanders/Ring ins. Our whole team has been together for years, and everyone knows, careful throwing stones!

I was there and he is well off the mark, both sides cheered the whole game such that the Barker cheerleader was on the verge of losing his voice.

Lord, people here find strange things to argue over. Next thing there'll be a fight over which school's supporters are the best hung.

I am sure everyone is aware that the underlying issue, 'argument as you call it' is 'not what the young boy said about cheering at the game'. There has been sufficient discussion this year about what the underlying issue is which I'm sure you have read. I will leave it at that.

Seriously? You make a claim of only one side cheering in the spirit of the game then come up with this shite above? You have already had one account refuting your "year 6 kid" from someone who was actually at the game (unlike you). It seems you are quite happy to spread rumours, untruths and innuendo. Unfortunately, by not being at the game and spreading rumours, your level of credibility is pretty low.

So boys, thoughts on CAS 1's v GPS 1's this Thursday.................I reckon the CAS team have a huge chance of winning, and winning well. Big powerful forwards, very slick backline, no Jack Bowen & Henry O'Donnell to contend with. CAS by 20!!

Some interesting selections in both teams, not bad, just interesting. I think the CAS forwards will prove too strong for their GPS counterparts meaning the scrums at least will favour the team in red. The GPS forwards have plenty of mongrel, so the breakdown will be interesting - I am going to say it will be pretty even there although I know Charlie Herdman is great over the ball. Lineouts to CAS too, the Waverley row too tall. Whilst Sam Alsop is a great player, I think Ned SS will be too powerful for him to contain all day.

In the backs, GPS certainly have some talent there and will be a great matchup. I am looking forward to seeing the centre pairings compete. Luke Tucker a great open play ball runner, and Isaiah should be able to get him into space with his long cut out passes.

Once the reserves come on, it will heat up again. Bowen is Isaiah's equivalent I think, and Riley Hemsworth's speed may open up the game at the end. Mind you some of the CAS 2nds are also game changers, Jack Black is an extremely powerful runner and Theo Kidd has a great turn of speed.

It will be a cracker, as the 2nds game will be too. I am looking forward to watching.
