Knox at home will be favourites. They are clearly fit . dominating the second half of both trials against GPS sides.

What was the score in Knox’s game

Hi Snort, just got home from Riverview.
The better side won no doubt. Waves had lots of new boys in today, 6 out of the 1sts, but at this stage can't see them challenging Knox or Barker.
Very disappointing. Can't see View Challenging Kings, New etc, but again, there is a long way to go.
Happy to see Trinity ,Cranbrook and Aloys win today!
It was CAS day today, with 1 exception.
I don't believe we should be writing Waverley off yet. Yes they have had 2 losses, but todays game 2 extremely lucky tries to Riverview and 2 dissalowed tries to Waverley which were tries. This wouldve made the score 26-34 (if both kicks were converted) to Waverley. That is with 6 boys out who all played 1stXV last year. They are missing their key players and still playing good. Once these boys are back theres going to be a ripple effect through the rest of the teams. Plus with the experience of these new players it gives them so much depth. Compared to Barker who's 2nds get pumped every week.

Sounds like a great weekend of footy from all CAS teams, especially big wins for Barker and Knox. Should be interesting as we approach the season.

Cranbrook win 17-5. Cranbrook would have hoped to get more out of this game then they did. A even game, despite being a man down for less then a half, they still managed to come out victorious. Standout players from Cranbrook were, (3) Ah-Colt, (4) Girle and (6) Mackenzie.

Knox isn’t fit. They were in trouble against Joeys until all the subs came on and disarray set in.

So I think today just underscored what we already knew. Barker and Knox look the two strongest sides. The jury's out on Waverley, who look a touch off the pace, though who knows what they'll be like when back closer to full strength. Cranbrook look a touch stronger than Trinity, who look a touch stronger than St Aloysius.
There's no real point saying who's "favourites" at this stage. We're a month away from the start of the competition rounds. Form can change and injuries can disrupt teams. I can't guess what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow, never mind who might win a Rugby match in five weeks.

Can’t count off waves they’ll always bounce back strong and counting them out only motivates them

Stannies did get up with a try on the last play of the game. But Aloys had their chances and squandered them. They were up 10-nil early and coasting it seemed. SSC had all the ball in the second half, big forward runners through the centre of the field and not much shifting in the backs, but any possession Aloys had was wasted with errant kicking, the penalties not finding touch cruelling their chances in particular. Stannies tight five were great. Aloys #3, #5 and #13 their biggest threats. If they can get their kicking right, they should threaten Pius next week.
Lower age groups were all Stannies way, but generally quite tight, other than the Aloys 15As who had a massive win, with SSC sending their Bs in that age group.

RugbyTid seems like a fair few excuses for a Waverley team that is yet to muster a win
