That's going to be brutal. CHS will go down by a truckload

Have to say selections have been poor and as a result players will miss being able to play in higher rep teams(Gen Blue). Speaking with Gen blue selectors today, they highlighted that the results matter because it is a performance based selection process.

CAS got it wrong by not picking:

Ah-Colt
Niulala
Morshead-Fidel
Turinui
Ryan (I know he did move up eventually)
Tofaeono

In the first XV team.

Time for a clean out. Kids are losing potential careers from these poor selections. Something must be done.

3-0 CHS 2nds, lots of poor errors for CAS and CHS are capitalising very well.

 

[NotStraight]

3-5 CAS, try to the number 8 from Cranbrook, CAS cleaning up their act and putting together some strong phases.

 

[NotStraight]

3-10, try to the number 13, CAS starting to show dominance.

 

[NotStraight]

3-15, try to Niulala, CAS has taken control.

Apologies - I had the game on in the background and wasn't following properly. Edited above.

Not hard to see where your allegiances lie. But at the end of the day selectors can only pick based on the games played.

It's unfortunate that the CAS is only playing one round this year when GPS are playing two (CAS has played two round comps in the past) and that Knox v Waverley is in term three.

But on the games played, Knox had two big wins, with the forwards being dominant, Waverley one tight and one decent win.

I suspect the selectors also talk to the coaches to rank their teams vs an average 1sts player and past players. Seemingly Dowling (from the Rep game correctly) and Aboud (unfortunately dropped out for Ryan) were the ones pushed.

That’s a unique take.

Knox have their 3 hardest CAS games next term. Waverley have already played two of their hardest games.

So only the players coaches push- coaches that aren’t part of the selection process- are the ones considered?

So Cranbrook coaches didn’t push Ah-Colt?
And the only reason Aboud was selected was because the Waverley coaches highlighted him?

 

[moa999]

That and what the selectors view with their own eyes. Selectors can only select based on what they have seen, feedback from others including their own and opposition coaches, and the results.

The 2nd round counts against you for saying that Waverley has played two hard games.
Knox trounced Trinity. Trinity beat Cranbrook.
Waverley only just beat Cranbrook.

Had Waverley put 30 points on Cranbrook I suspect the selections might have been different.

Kaleb Ah-Colt- originally selected as CAS reserve.. makes Gen Blue u18.

Sam Niulala not even in the CAS firsts makes Gen blue u18’s.

Gen blue staff highlighting how poor CAS selections are again.

So I presume then that the CAS 1sts #3 and #4 didn't make Gen Blue.

Oh wait.

Congrats to all CAS boys who made the squad.
