NSW CAS Rugby 2021

Further reinforcing his prospective selection as an Australian Schoolboy. Also, delays in the squad's selection due to COIVD allow for the possibility of Bruton making a comeback to join Wood at the highest honour.

Wood although a remarkable player for Aloys and standout within the CAS GPS 2's match would find it hard to climb to the paramount of schoolboy selection. As for Bruton, he can boast a respectable season thus far with an unfortunate injury against Barker jeopardizing his potential CAS selection however a schoolboys selection seems out of reach.

You are delusional. You have clearly never watched Bruton play. He is definitely an Aus Schoolboy talent. He is positionally the best player in the CAS 1’s, Gen Blue and in Australia. All NRL clubs and Rugby Australia have offered him an 8 figure contract. Big players earning big bucks

The ethos of this lively forum is strictly opposed to sarcasm and mockery aimed at players - both of which are manifested in the above post. As expressed by Baxter, Wood & Bruton are both strong Aus Schoolboys prospects (assuming the P word doesn't come out to play) - this goes without saying. Please concentrate your condescending input towards more pressing matters such as ways to accelerate Bruton's recovery and thus save Aus SclBy footy.

Well that sucks.

Hard to see Round 3 being played on 17 July.

On the other hand, if it gets changed and becomes the last round, it could be a suitable climax to the competition.

Agree Snort, had exactly the same thought.

Selfishly if the next planned round became the last it could end up being a blockbuster.
Incidentally, I would have imagined it would absolutely suit both Barker and Waves given they have some injured players who should be right by then. Having said that, someone might beat either prior.

Can't imagine July 17 will happen as no one would have been able to practice next week.

Well that settles the argument. Well, maybe if the 2004 Eddies team got beat 46-0. 2005 was a different team and even Eddies have been known to have weaker years. No saying they would have won the Waratah in 2005 as they weren't offered the chance. Nor were any Canberra schools since then.

If you want to go further back in history Marist Canberra beat Joeys 21-0 in 88' and went on to win the Waratah shield for the first time. That same year Joeys went undefeated in the AAGPS comp. Puts a different perspective on things don't you think?

Truthfully, the hardest game in the Waratah Shield for many years was the ACT regional final (Usually Eddies v Marist), after that the ACT sides usually won their remaining matches easily as Eddies record shows. Eddies still love to boast about their record in the Waratah Shield as if it made them the "best side in NSW" but the fact is the ASC comp which existed in those days was harder for them to win that the WS and most of the top GPS or CAS sides in those years probably would have beaten them (or Marist). The true test was to play those sides and defeat them, it did occur from time to time but not often.

Can somebody please bring me up to speed with if or how an Aust. Schools side is being selected this year? Is there still a state champs being played?

Nah. One thing I can say for sure. Charlie Bruton is locked in for Aus Schoolboy position #12. When I say I have never seen a player this level this good. I mean it. He is ranked number 1 schoolboy rugby player in australia and the world. At only 5’9 he is a carbon copy of Sonny Bill Williams and Katy Perry.

I am sure the australian rugby community would greatly benefit with insights into Bruton’s work ethic. I have heard Waverley and Barker have invited Charlie Bruton for a presentation/Q&A because he is good. Does anyone know how to get these exclusive tickets?

Ensuing this COVID break Bruton will be back. He is the reason why Aloys will win their remaining games. He is the reason why Aloys will win the prem. A wonderful sight for union as Katao will most likely be dispatched to his #10 position in gen blue 2. Obviously, bruton back at #12 for gen blue 1 in his 3rd consecutive year.

I imagine it’ll be like every other year.

They’ll carefully study hours of video and form and statistics..

then pick 60% GPS, 30% CAS, 9% ‘other’, plus a token lad from CHS to make it look like there’s a process.

Not looking promising for the rest of the season, feel so sorry for all of the boys


Flav and Grimey,

I believe the CAS Heads are due to meet about this when possible.
You would like to think that the priority, v other non winter sports, will be higher to finish the comp given only 3 games left.
It may also happen that the soccer and AFL are on the same page, which may help us all.

If Athletics is the reason I would think that not many Rugby boys would also do Aths, yes maybe a few, but does that mean 2 or 3 get to compete for their schools again, and the vast majority of winter sports boys are told it's all over.

I have faith that the CAS Heads will way all this up and reach this logical conclusion (in my mind).
If it takes to the end of August to finish, so what!

It might also be possible to run the Rugby and Athletics at the same time for just 3 weeks, grounds permitting.
I also suspect many parents, who are also emotionally involved here and have spent a long time supporting all this, will want to ensure it gets completed. I feel confident that the boys and coaches do!
