I think both sides are very strong this year and it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. As New had a strong 16as last year, and now Barker have lost some key players who have graduated. I still think Barker will win, but it will be a great game.I find it thought provoking how close you propose the barker vs New game- this will be fascinating.
With regards Knox I feel an obliteration coming on.
Aloys vs Stannies is 50/50 I reckon, can I get some thoughts from everyone else on this matchup?

Yes your right as long as they can start building from the ground up there should only be improvement. Going to be a test to see how the young ones hold up this weekCould be potentially beneficial for Waves in the long run.
I hear they may be moving last weeks winger to halfback in order to move down the halfback and fullback down to the 2nds. Allowing for the 2nds fullback to come up and 16a's wingerYes your right as long as they can start building from the ground up there should only be improvement.

Last year Stannies had strong wins in the 1sts, 2nds and 16As, so suspect the bookies would have Stannies as favourites for this weekend.I find it thought provoking how close you propose the barker vs New game- this will be fascinating.

Rubbish, why would they ever move a speedy winger to halfback? And what other fullback would replace the 1XV one?I hear they may be moving last weeks winger to halfback in order to move down the halfback and fullback down to the 2nds. Allowing for the 2nds fullback to come up and 16a's winger
The speedy winger you talk about, use to play halfback, this is his first year playing wing. The fullback on the other hand could be replaced by just about anyone, I hear they are thinking of moving up the 2nds fullbacks, as I had previously stated.Rubbish, why would they ever move a speedy winger to halfback?

Yes, I got that info, a Friday evening fixture at Woollahra Oval I believe...Hi Walshy81,
I believe Cranbrook play Auggies again on their own turf, as previously they were meant to play Kings in the 1st trial one.
AgreedGregs are stronger than they usually are this year.
Yes! Down at the East field.Yes, I got that info, a Friday evening fixture at Woollahra Oval I believe...
wow will most of them be back for the start of CAS? If they can pull off an upset win over view with thag many injuries it would be a massive resultwaverley college currently missing 7 starters and game changing players in jonas dowling first 15 captain zion poitaha rugby au u16 ollie aboud u16 rugby au noah tofaeno 3rd year first 15 caleb sinclair harris second year 1st 15 jonte mf 3rd year 1st xv and tino tavana 3rd year 1stxv
Can confirm that the Waves do have 7 players out this weekend but 2 of them will be out all season, Tino Tavana doesn't qualify because he turns 19 this year, and Zion has a shoulder issue that may well mean he is out all season. The other 5 are experienced players BUT their replacements are quite capable, and therefore NO excuses v View this weekend. Exactly why teams need depth.wow will most of them be back for the start of CAS? If they can pull off an upset win over view with thag many injuries it would be a massive result
