Waverley's opponent in the Test curtain raiser has a good write up in today's Manly Daily.
St Augustine's captain, Zac Barnabas, is profiled with several mentions of his famous sailing family.
Good publicity for the game and rugby in general.

Your team is slighty inaccurate, don't see Santamaria, Kulscar or Schrijvers being their next year. However, I like the looks of young superstar Speedy-Coe. Had the privelege of watching him tear up in the B's against Joeys a few weekends back. He certainly will be in the backline over the likes of Senior and Kulscar.

Hornsby4life who would be in your 16As team over the likes of Santamaria, Kulscar, Schrijvers and Senior?

Can we get a predicted team for every school next season?


Prediction Waverley College 1st XV 2020

1: Reeve Smith
2: Darcy Sullivan
3: Peter Cassimatis
4: Miles Amatesero
5: Matt Chapman
6: Davy Moale
7: Charlie Baker
8: Ethan King

9: Hugh Johnson
10: Emmanuel Di-Bartolommeo
11: Jordan Swan
12: Ronald Volkman
13: Asololei Fretton
14: Mitch Eylse
15: Ethan Flanagan

I feel a few eyebrows being raised as the read this list , so I will point out why I have predicted this team to start the season off.

1: Front row has been selected on form , strength and rugby experience. Smith is a current NSW rep in the U16 1st team and has really come on this year and I am sure with a good preseason he will be a front runner. A very good scrum technician and good hands when he runs with the ball. Having made his 1st XV debut at Bank West I expect to see him in the double V in 2020.
Sullivan is in my opinion the best line out thrower in the CAS. He was unlucky not to play rep rugby this year but is not far off. His game management is excellent and is your genuine 4th back rower. Also got game time in the double V this season.
Cassimatis is a machine very physical and very good on defence. Probably deserves the bolter tag in this team but I have seen enough of him over the past 2 seasons to warrant my prediction, along with what I’m hearing in regards to ore season program Cassimatis is well in the mix. There will be genuine back up in Pantano , Dunning , Drevon.

2nd row pretty much speaks for itself. Both NSW reps this year and both can play and it also helps when you are 2 of the tallest players in the CAS. Plenty of 1st XV experience will also cement their spots. They should have a couple of boys hot on their heals in Halohalo and Foley.

Back row is the toughest to pick with unlimited candidates ready and willing. I have predicted Moale , Baker and King on form and experience. Moale and King both NSW reps this year and will continue to improve in 2020. I know there has been some talk of Moale playing in the front row in order to fit Fretton into the back row but if Fretton continues to have issues with concussions then a positional change maybe best for him. Baker will be the 7 in this pack and possibly wear the captains armband. There will be genuine heat put on this group from the likes of Runow , Elder brothers and Kapos.

I have gone for Hugh Johnson at 9 over last years starter Thorn. For me Johnson shows a bit more energy and when given an opportunity has really showed how good he is. His work rate is high and game management excellent. Was a big reason why the 2nd XV had such a dominant undefeated 2019. Thorn still has plenty to offer but also has another 2 seasons at the school and potentially a captain in waiting.

10 , 11 and 12 pick themselves 2-3 years 1st XV experience. Also a fair bit of rep experience amongst them.

Have gone for Fretton at 13. I think with what we saw in 2019 from him was exciting. He is a wrecking ball both on defence and attack and is very quick. I watched him at athletics a few weeks ago and jumped in a 100 mtr heat to make up numbers and killed it.
I think with his past injury concerns the positional change would be good for Fretton and the team.

14 Eyles gets this spot due to his genuine speed and good defence coupled with his game management looking for big things from him in 2020.

Flanagan at 15 this kid is a real talent. A danger with ball in hand and reads a game well. Also a NSW rep in 2019 and is held in high regard in those circles.

Remember this is only my prediction and is only based on 2019 form and experience. End of the day the pre season form will determine how many of these players will be selected come round 1 of CAS.
What I can say is that Waverley are looking like very strong contenders for 2020 / 2021.

I've seen some quiet interesting observations this week. Down at Coogee at 4:30am, I saw Ayden Diffin (15b's) and Noah Kulcsar (15as/bs) running hills at the northern end. They certainly mean business. Watch out for these hard working talents next year in the Double V #1's #6 #12

Long term follower of the CAS & GPS threads and thought I would add my two cents worth for what its worth. My prediction for the 2020 Waverley team

1: Tom Jaeger (First XV)
2. Darcy Sullivan (16A)
3. Ben Dunning (Second XV)
4. Fritz Jahnke-tavana (16A & NSW 16s)
5. Miles Amatesero (First XV)
6. Davvy Moale (First XV & NSW 16s)
7. Will Baker (First XV)
8. Ethan King (16A, NSW 16s)

9. Klayton Thorn (First XV, NSW 16s)
10. Ronald Volkman (First XV)
11. Jordan Swan (First XV)
12.
13. Asolelei Fretton (Roosters)
14. Ethan Flanagan (16A, NSW 16s)
15. Emmanuel Di Bartolo (First XV)

The current First XV players will remain in their positions for 2020 - they were all key players in 2019. I have returned Volkman back to 10 where his experience and razzle dazzle can shine. Di Bartolo with his big boot at 15. With the latter of the 2019 season combo of Thorn, Di Bartolo & Volkman they will be exciting to watch in 2020 and will be key players for this team. Eager to see Fretton return to the team at 8 or 13. The forward pack will have good size and will be a force. The only positions up for grabs will be 12 and 14.

Is Jaeger year 12 this year ?

Shows the depth that exists, but to do this these players will have to leap frog the 16as in front of them, can't see that happening in 2021. The only obvious positions that this years 15as may fill in 2021 are 1 flanker, and 1 winger all things being equal.

I think the Waverley love on here is a bit overrated, most of the boys played for the Randwick 16A's at club (won by
Lindfield) and for Randwick at state (won by Warringah) this year where they finished no where .

NSW 1's were easily beaten by QLD 1's at the JRC, and NSW 2's had a cricket score put on them by the QLD in the
pool game. Sadly Gen Blue selection is still a boys club.


Agree Coyote, and I am a Waves follower.

Prior to the final of the GPS16 1s vs CAS 1s, there was some confident talk that the Gen 1 team had already been chosen, some of which I think were obvious, but still what happens if someone else shines, so there is still a boys club, which was very evident in some positions.

When it comes to the Lindfield and Warringah comment, I think its fair to say that the Randwick team in these 2 comps was primarily just 1 school, whereas Lindfield and Warringah was made up of many schools.
The Waves 16a team is actually stronger than the Randwick team, with a number of key school players missing from the Randwick team, for what it's worth.

Whilst it may be fun to speculate on school 1st XV teams for next year, a lot can, and will, change between now and then, like growth, off season training etc, so the final teams make up will be different to what is posted now.
I suspect there will be a number of very strong teams across both associations, particularly the GPS!

My predicted Knox 1st XV team:
1. Nicky Lake (16A)
2. R. Bray (16A)
3. J. Black (16A)
4. H.Daunty (2XV)
5. L. Chamen (2XV)
6. O. Moore (2XV)
7. W. Bondy (4XV)
8. H. Kettles (2XV)
9. A. Delaine (3XV)
10. A. Saunders (15A)
11. O. Evans (1XV)
12. L. McCready (16A)
13. M. Stewart (1XV)
14. J. Donnison (4XV)
15. C. Barr (2XV)

Notes:
I strongly believe that this partnership on the wing between O. Evans and J. Donnison will be even more electrifying the S. Nichol. Sadly S. Nichol will not be playing because of injury reasons which is why I believe that J. Donnison will be moved up with massive improvement over the summer. Also, With the movement of H. Daunty will be an exciting move for him coming off an amazing round vs Oakhill where he scored 3 tries. with the 4ths being undefeated W. Bondy will bring a major winning mentality to the 1st XV in 2020.


I would be keen to get a response from Axe, or some other Knox followers on this team, certainly not being close enough myself, but aware of quite a few players, this team looks extremely inexperienced. It may be a building team for years to come, but if this team represents Knox 1st XV in 2020, I think it will be a very tough year!

Although there are quite a few players without 1stXV experience I believe that this Knox team could suprise many. The backs are actually quite experience with M. Stewart, O. Evans and S. Nicholl all playing in the team perviously (I think Evmeister might have forgotten S.Nicholl) and although Evans can't play CAS due to being 19, I believe Stewart and Nicholl will earn place. Also C. Barr was arguably the 2XV best player and could have easily been playing 1XV last year. Also surprises could come in the form of T. Godard at 9 who played Gen Blue U16 and J. McLeod at 12 who played U15 Gen Blue and U16 NSW League. The forwards are the worry for next year with none playing consistent 1XV last year. I feel the key forwards will be J.Black at 3 who played U16 Gen Blue, L.Chamen at 5 who played U16 Gen Blue and missed most of his maiden opens year to injury, and H. Kettles who played U16 NSW Country before arriving in Year 11 and making a big impression. If the inexperience of the forwards aren't too much I feel the class in the backs could carry Knox to the Henry Plume Shield, with the Knox backs next year arguably going to be the best of the comp.
