CAS Rugby 2024

[Hercules Von Grimmelshaus]

I would say that Barker have had a successful tour and look to have some depth this year with the 2nds going well in there games on tour and also with how they went at Joeys. Riverview next weekend will be a good test to see how they’re shaping up before the have a very soft series a trials ahead of the CAS season.

I mean not too far off.. though you have missed some kids that were in the premiership winning team last year so they are probably pretty good. And missing a few of their strong roosters players who made it to the finals this year.

Apparently Sione, Little and Finegan out for a while though too. So won’t see them at full strength for the first few weeks like last year

That seems slightly off.

It's a safety issue, made necessary by the kind of mismatch you'll see when Barker next plays St Aloysius.

I get this. But Nudgee aren't Aloys. They're a premier rugby school in the world. Just frustrating at the 1stXV level. My frustration doesn't stem from this game, it's something I've always found frustrating.

The same game that disallows obstruction until you do it from a lineout and call it a maul.

It wasn't an obstruction. I explained this in last years thread. Do I need to explain it again? As long as the "arrow-head" of the maul doesn't pass the ball back through the maul then it's not an obstruction. The arrow-head in this scenario didn't do that, he broke from the maul, and he scored a try. That was not contentious in the whole Cranbrook game drama. Anyone who knew the rules understood that was allowed. Issue was when the ref blew the whistle (when the ball was being placed).

Rod,

Sad to see Ned Slack Smith still having issues with concussion. I wonder if it goes back to when Barker played him the week after getting a blue card? Hopefully no long term issues.

Ned was cleared by an independent doctor to play (not prompted by the school)... Did this make it legal under the Rugby NSW rules? No. But he was not suffering from concussion symptoms, and in fact at no point suffered head trauma when he was blue-carded. So, no. Has nothing to do with his current issues.

I was not inferring any specific incidents from any game. Just highlighting that mauls are basically obstructions.

Though now I understand why Barker are so defensive on the issue.

Has more to do with the fact it came from a known Barker basher.

Weekend predictions?

A big week for Knox against the premier rugby school in the country in their centenary year. Will be a tight affair.

Who do other schools face?

No.

Joeys.

Congrats to Bryn Edward’s, Ekanyake and Phillipson and McLeod for their selection in Aus 20s (I assume Finau, hooper and Saunders are injured?). Good to see a strong CAS representation

Barker Report - After their horrendous game against Shore, Isaiya Katoa making a shock comeback, revealing his true age as 17.

The barker 16 A's have a very promising squad, with a skilful and heavy forward pack However their back line is generational, with many young talents who are strong with the ball. They have no doubt in their fitness or ability to make 1 on 1 tackles. Many are saying CAS winner of the 2024 16's season.

Considering their 4 strongest players are up in Opens I’m sensing their only win may be against St Aloys….

They must have gone scouting. They were terrible last year.

Knox has postponed their Gala day due to the weather prediction. Games against Joeys going ahead at this stage, although I expect they will try to protect the fields this early in the season.
