Damn strong preseason.
CAS Rugby 2025
- Thread starter Mule
- Start date
Most of the boarders I know do the short sport and then hit the gym for a rugby workout. They're not interested in hanging in the house.

Good idea seeing the season is so short for them.

Relax Joker, we all appreciate your candid, very funny, biased blue & cerise tinted glasses, mind you, we are all somewhat lop sided.
I would think your terrific work over the years has minimized any memory loss, something we can all appreciate.
Continue on young man!
P.S. Your Joe boys are playing my Waves this year at Joeys, first time for a while.

Barker's trial game opponents are Oakhill, Riverview then Shore which is the curtain raiser to the Tahs v Reds game as previously mentioned on the blog. All three games will be solid hit outs. Oakhill are always strong, Riverview is a bogey team for Barker historically, and Shore are the reigning GPS champs. Prior to this, in the pretrial trial games, Barker played Daramalan and Marist last weekend with it very much being trials with 1sts and seconds combined and well mixed. This weekend they play a trial against Gordon Colts followed the next weekend against Joeys.

Barker will be strong this year. They have 4 lads in the NSW U18 squad, Tahj Smith, TJ Talavera, Harrison Deane and Keegan Daly. Young Joel Stovold (16As last year) is now close to 2m tall and 105kg will partner Tahj Smith in the second row. So the forwards will be strong and robust and very fit. The backs other than Harrison Dene will be competent without being special, but with a strong forward platform to run off they will score points.

I saw that Barker had a trial against 2 Canberra schools over the weekend. Could we get 1st Xv and 2nd Xv team lists from the day?
And there is one of the challenges we Aussie face; not enough footy! Here’s a snapshot of what a prominent NZ School had last year….

And in all likelihood you'd expect that game to be played again in Term 3

Barker scored 13 tries to 2 over a Gordon colts side.
Was Gordon 4ths, some of them really hungover.
Was extremely odd that Barker played a 4th grade colts team. Not much to be achieved.

Cranbrook should get the job done against trinity this weekend. 1s and 2s looking strong, the program looks like it has heaps of depth this year, with new imports entering the program this year.
