On another topic what is everyone's predictions for the 2nd XV competition, whilst it is often neglected, it would be interesting to know everyones opinions.

Cranbrook 2nd XV would be looking for a 3 peat this year and it will be exciting to see how they play against pats after a win against St Pius. knox and barker are looking very strong too as barker beat Riverview in the 2s.

Having reffed a few 16As and 2nds games last year, my pick would Knox.

Has anyone heard of Trinity's No. 5? Believe his last name was Liam Isaako. I was at the St Pat's game last week and thought he had a decent performance. May even be in contention to make a CAS team. He'd be at least 6'8!

Hi Fridayarvodrinks,
Yep I'm familiar. I've reffed him a bit over the years and he has good size. Perhaps6'8" may be pushing it I think. However his problem has always been his ball control- right back in junior ages. If he can fix this he could be in real contention but as it stands I think there's plenty of work he needs to put in.
Kindest Regards,

Hi Johnathan,
Thanks for your agreeance. I was curious to know what formed that opinion in your mind.

I've been keeping an eye on trinity over the pre-season and have watched all their games this year, I think that their number 5 Liam Isaako has some crazy potential and could even make a NSW side this year, in saying that I think the number 2 has some work cut out for him with regards to his throwing in the line-outs and overall game IQ. Regardless, I believe they will have a quite successful CAS season.
Cheers,
Dane

I believe Woods and Conti just outplayed the side with freakish talent. There’s only so much hard work can do when you’re up against schoolboy players of this caliber. Theres some word going around that they have had a bit of a reshuffle this week in the team and they are looking to continue their dominance in the forwards, another forward I have foolishly forgotten to mention in the number 6 Hugo Vanhal, he poses a real strong ball running game and has some insane plays for the highlights. As long as their game controllers take control and play the territory battle & find number 13 Zeke Edmed for early ball they have a real chance at putting up a dominant performance.
Cheers

Hi Nicholas Barry,
I believe that the original comment was probably just some schoolboy troll upset he got snubbed for a firsts position. Not worth your time in responding to.
Kind Regards,
Arthur.

Hello OutsideSentHer13,
Just wondering who are the best players in St Pius? Since they beat Cranbrook the past weekend.

Hello, Off Back Fence,
From what I've heard, it was a real team performance from Pius. With all players showing grit and determination to get over the line. Beating Cranbrook for the first time in over 16 years, highlighting the strength of the Pius 1st XV this year, standouts being the forward pack, setting the tone for a strong performance to compliment the backs.
Regards,
JO
