CAS Rugby 2017

[White line fever]

my mail is a pretty handy prop (with rep experience) is moving from $cots to Waverley in 2017

only question is whether he will play in the weakish 16As, helping bolster their forwards,

or if he will trial for Opens . given there are 2 returning props (Wright & McCormack), guessing he will bide his time

and shows how age groups can fluctuate from strong to weak, and then back to strong (hopefully)

SDW, I heard today that Eden Rodgers Smith did his knee again,at Easts league training, and may be out for some time, if not the season. Think the school needs to ban outside influences! Understand some kids may make a living one day from footy but at this age this can be devastating.

BM, I hope Nick goes through and is a wallaby one day.

Undoubtedly he will be.

100% agree ... wavcol should be doing more to discourage the league preseason- every year it is the same sorry tale ... massive loss that . Sadly knees injured young are invariably easily reinjured

So many examples

 

[SonnyDillWilliams]

The number of knee injuries coming out of the junior roosters prog makes me think someone is doing something wrong

I am out of touch with what is agreed upon training for leg development

But I do know that back in my day, I had a series of medial ligament issues and one physio had be doing leg extensions as part of rehab

However another one told me leg extensions are an unnatural exercise, and once I stopped doing them I never had another knee injury ...

As I say I am not a knee expert

 

[MrTallTimber]

This kid is an absolute gem! After watching him on numerous occasions I can safely say he will have a Wallabies career better better than the Loosehead Prop Nick Stiles

I see in the WavCol 2017 Calendar, reference to "CAS Rugby 7s" on Saturday March 25

has anyone got any details, as the CAS website is the last place I would expect any useful info?

also whether any CAS schools will then be backing up for Scots 7s the following weekend

last year I thought Waverley did commendably at Scots 7s ... but assuming Waverley won't be there on 1 April, care of the trial versus View?

You never had another knee injury after you stopped sidestepping.

According to the scots website view will be playing in the sevens. Doubt if 1 and 2 s will be playing games waves if that's the case

CN,I would certainly hope that both sides will put their strongest 15 team on the field when they play each other. Or do you mean some of views best players will be at the scots 7's?
I am surprised view are listed at the scots venue given that they have a game on that Saturday against Waverley in all age groups.

 

[Tahs247]

Anyone got a Waves side?

No idea just what I read. However the original draw didn't have waves playing view until May

 

[Rich_E]

Could be out of date, but AAGPS site shows View play Waves in trial on 27 May...

Barkers opens squad this year is far from second class and is great in depth, unlike recent years. There is no doubting that this years team will be brawny and heavy-duty. Most players striving for a spot in a Red Jersey have a lot of experience as a large handful were part of the 2016 side . My prediction of the 2017 side is as follows:

1. Sam Chalmers (1sts)
2. Matt Coghill (1sts, CAS 2, NSW Schools Shadow)
3. Reeve Mcclelland (2nds)
4. Harry Flaherty (16A/1sts, CAS 16's)
5. Mac Northcote (1sts)
6. Hugh Melchior (1sts)
7. Jeremy Hutton (1sts)
8. Luke Reimer (1sts, CAS 16's, Sydney U16's)
9. David Tejeck (1sts, CAS 16's)
10. Josh Nercessian (import from Central Coast)
11. Kyle Galloway (15A, NSW U15 Rep)
12. Will Harding (back from injury)
13. Matt Graham (16A)
14. Falito Van Woerkom (1sts)
15. Will Lloyd (1sts)

While I appreciate there may be some improvement, listing the barker team as strong because they have players back from last year doesn't take into account they were slaughtered by a Knox team that will also have multiple players back this year.

11 players in that team let in 322 points. Unless somehow they become substantially better, the 8+ players that have firsts experience at Knox only let in 118. All this talk about Barker being strong this year is frankly ridiculous.

Is that the same Knox team that were slaughtered by joeys??

There were 6 main players out of that game- so no.

only 6. No doubt baker were at full strength though.

They probably weren't.

But even there much lauded player (Luke Reimer) didn't make the CAS u16's team when it was first announced.

Knox will be undoubtedly a better team than Barker and everyone in CAS.

We have also been training very hard to make sure we wipe that smug look off the faces of the GPS comp.

 

[CNorth]

You should win all games with 3 days a week since October plus imports. Good luck. Anything less than undefeated would be deemed as Failure I would imagine.

 

[Backline_Move]

We will wait and see.

It will be a great start to win the 7's Comp in a few weeks as a starting board. It helps we have the NSW schools 7's captain in our squad.
