And Barker v Waverley will once again have to wait until the final round. The CAS seems to do a good job with their scheduling

no one thinks trinity can take the premiership?
And his body language after was alarming; similar to Sanix footage; needs to have a long hard think about crossing the line from impressively competitive to counterproductive territory… no CAS judiciary and is up to Barker to impose any sanction?
14As Barker won comfortably from a dominant first half, even in the second half once Knox started tackling lower and blitzing rucks.
14Bs Knox won comfortably
14Cs Barker couldn’t field a team so Knox played Riverview
Late spear; Knox player went immediately off with dislocated shoulder after putting arm out to try and break fall

You'll notice your school is more successful at Soccer than any other sport - so the same can be said for you guys

Waverley Vs Knox
Death Valley
Look forward to seeing you there
No. Well, I don't. I think they have a decent shot at third, though, as they should beat Cranbrook and St Aloysius.
Ah, OK. But here's the thing: in recent years, the CAS-GPS game has quite often been played on a damp midweek night under indifferent lighting (eg at Knox). Should we tell the selectors not to pick Waverley players for games like that because they're consistently terrible in those conditions?

100% agree
Got to play what's in front of you.
Nobody should make any excuses and blame the lighting, this isn't cricket - it was 2 teams out there, same conditions for both.
Congrats to Trinity on the win.

Third might be a couple places to low after the performance against waverly. After all they did just put on a clinic against a strong waverly side.

Hi mate
Thanks for the reply
Below are the results for Waverley
You will see why I question Trinity's depth:
Waverley 4ths played Sydney Boys 1sts and 5ths played the 2nds, C's in 16's must have had a terrific game vs the Trinity B's with a soccer score and the D's in 13's and 14's played Trinity C's.
I want to see more rugby played at schools and hope that not only Trinity but other schools push the program.

Not sure how i think about that, obviously, would be a lot of unnecessary effort and probably money to get some sort of judictory into CAS and for such a short season wouldnt be worth it, but from my view, headmasters may not hand out rugby related suspensions (and instead opt to give a school based detention or something of the other) to student sent off as it could throw the teams season into jepordy, whereas a non bias offical would give a just penalty to the student. Not sure if im right here but just something to think about.Code of conduct – cas-web

I understand your point, and you're right that setting up a formal judiciary process for a short school sports season could be a lot of effort and may not seem worthwhile. However, relying only on schools to hand out consequences can lead to inconsistent outcomes. One school might give a detention while another might suspend a player for the same offence, which could create an unfair situation.
Having an independent and unbiased official or panel to review serious incidents could help ensure that penalties are consistent and based on the actual incident, rather than the school’s priorities or the impact on the team. This would promote fairness and reinforce the idea that discipline is about upholding the integrity of the sport, not protecting a team's success.
It’s definitely something worth thinking about, especially as school sports continue to become more competitive.

Game Report: Aloys vs Cranbrook (7–64)
Cranbrook dominated the scoreboard in a crushing 64–7 win over Aloys, but the match wasn't without controversy. From the opening whistle, the officiating raised eyebrows, with a string of one-sided calls that heavily favoured Cranbrook. Aloys struggled to build momentum as several promising plays were halted by questionable penalties. Despite the lopsided result, Aloys showed grit under pressure and moments of strong defence, but the biased refereeing made it an uphill battle from the start.

The future of rugby at St Aloysius is surely a major concern. Beaten convincingly by a Cranbrook 1st XV team yesterday with three probable starting forwards out injured. Also, Cranbrook who are pretty weak through the junior years only lost the 14As. The CAS comp need a competitive Alo's but the program looks to be pretty shaky.

Yeah, cranbrooks dominant prop and hooker both out yet cranbrook dominated at the scrum, what could CAS do, do you think it would be worth doing what GPS does and dropping the Aloys 1s to the CAS 2nd XV competition, they will be very competititve in those matchups making it better for everyone involved.
