Nothing I or anyone on this forum say will make any difference to what happens, and no name has been mentioned. What I have pointed out is historical fact and clearly some people don't know all those in contention. If you are not going to make a constructive comment, then can you please not...

Fair enough LT, The trials will tell. What I can assure you of is that size (and speed/skill) makes a BIG difference in the opens. Quinn is in year 12 now so not around in 2022 (unless he repeats), and the coaches focus on winning in the current year, and I think you will find that there...

Yep, the trials will ultimately tell. Given the size of the pack, I believe it will be very important to have a 6 or 7 who is quick to the breakdown/very mobile, that is why Elder is essential in my mind, in at least 1 flanker spot, the other spot is up for grabs imo. In the backs, I have...

Lovetap and Sir Scrums Alot, you guys haven't paid enough attention to the 2019 16AS Waves team, that team beat all the CAS and GPS teams and got 11 in the CAS Rep team, and have never lost a CAS game, furthermore, this same team was the backbone to last years, 2020 CAS comp win, and now they...

Yeh thanks BB, Clearly ZHC didn't read your question! But he has filled in some more game details. ZHC, I think the trials start at the beginning of term 2 not 3, but your dates are spot on, unlike you to get such a fine detail wrong! Will post the trial games details when finalised.

BB, The Waves 1st CAS comp game will at QP on Sat May 29 v Knox. This may well decide the winner of the CAS comp, as both sides will be strong this year. The next Sat Jun 5 there will be another game at QP v Cranbrook, who will also be very strong this year. The last game at QP will be round 4...

Ditto TA, There are probably more strong teams than normal in each association, often 1 or 2 are real stand outs. Shore has always been very competitive in this age group and interesting to see your view on Scots. Scots hasn't been a front runner in this age group but the Opens is always a...

Hi BBR, Fingers crossed that all proceeds as per a normal season, expect it will. I think this years games will be very tightly contested. Without knowing too much about all the GPS teams, but based on the past performances of this age cohort, you would think Joeys, Riverview and Kings will be...

Goosie, luv your passion but I think you need to calm down. I don't recall Joker saying any such things about the CAS, he is just passionate about tradition, and you are taking his bait. I also didn't say the 3 CAS schools couldn't match it with the GPS, just that it would be very...

H4L, Rubbish, there are NO easy GPS schools, the 3 CAS schools you have mentioned are strong but would find their level against all the GPS schools, in the 16s and most certainly in the 1sts. Next years teams will be, imo, 1 of the toughest years to win, in both associations, as many schools...

Southern played Randwick today (at full strength). Southern 7 Randwick 58. Randwick has scored 361 points in the last 8 games, they are undefeated so far, having played every team.

Then I recommend you watch some school games where the intensity,effort and meaning is far greater. Some boys choose to top off their school rugby with some club rugby,as an aside on Sundays, but I assure you the importance they place on club rugby is far less. Many don't even bother playing...

Great! There's only 1 problem with your inference, which is I assume is that the Waverley players aren't very good. There were only 5 Waves boys in either the 1s or 2s playing, so 5 out of, a large group, say 22, as you have said, and not all 5 were on throughout the game. The intensity of...

Ha, nice try Coyote, I just checked with the Randwick coach and exactly as Lovetap said 2 of the usual front row were out, and if they were outplayed, then somehow they just scrapped in 52-15. Enough said!

Many thanks INP, Whilst our CAS season is over, clearly we haven't had enough schoolboy footy, and to now be able to watch all 3 weekly GPS games on Cluch is a treat, even if we can't attend. As previously explained the score in the View/Kings game didn't reflect the game, thus my...

Thanks Ace, yep got it.

Agree Axe, to me, the Knox team is very strong and will take some beating.

Many thanks Ace, I am a bit surprised reading the Scots line up, it looks as though all/nearly all their stars are in the team, eg Josh Wong,Clifton Hansen etc. If so, then the Joeys win is greater than first thought.

Ok, here's a CAS dad talking, so quite impartial but like all of you, luv our schoolboy footy and extremely happy that the GPS comp is underway, for all the obvious reasons. I watched today, on Clutch from the 3rds onwards (GREAT system - UNTIL the New/Shore 1sts link fell off about half time)...

Very special, this is what makes the fabric and the boys will never forget!
