I've seen a lot of predicted Waverley teams (seems to be a very strong team), but not seen many predicted teams for the others in particular Knox and Barker.

This is a joke, realistically Aloys are going to finish last again simply as they are not able to compete with the higher importing schools. Having them above both Cranbrook and Trinity makes no sense seeing from my knowledge their year 12s haven't won a CAS game in multiple years. I believe it will be a tight season for most schools even a possible shared prem as anyone can take a win on the day. I also think Cranbrook are going to be much more competitive than some think with their young 2s side from last year moving into the 1s after winning the comp outright last season. Let me know your thoughts.

Seems to me like your are employing some unreliable narration to crush the spirits and hopes of a strong Aloys team. Seems absolutely preposterous to me, and my best guess is some schoolboy from Cranbrook has tried to utilize their "wittiness" to insult the aloys boys. As you said "anyone can take a win on the day", so let's just wish these boys well, regardless of what school they're from.

Thank you, seems to be quite a strong team again, not quite as strong as that incredible team last year though.

Seems like a very strong side, however their depth of talent is a lot more questionable than last year. Will be interesting to see if they survive the season. RUCKER out

In my expertise opinion, I am predicting this team doesn't have the grit to beat Knox or Aloys as those two have been partaking in both mental and physical pre-season.

MATE, ur a silly goose. Aloys will get thumped by Barker again. No chance they can handle barkers wrath, after a strong preaseason and with their returning 1s players. No chance.

No news about the Barker/Knox trial today. Even if it was probably just a energetic training run

Trial was competive and Barker just had the edge but it’s a trial so who knows. Couple of Year 10’s in the Barker team at 10 and 8 who both showed some good touch’s and didn’t look out of place. Knox has a couple of new boys by the look of it at fullback and reserve prop

For me Barker looked to have the edge in the backs but Knox forwards looked a bit stronger. But pretty scrappy and lots of situational resets so who knows. The Barker 12 and 15 looked v strong and the Knox back row seemed to be enjoying themselves.
