My goodness.

Knox appears to be the most dominant side this CAS season. If anyone has anything else to contribute to this conversation, please do. I am curious to see other opinions on the contending sides of the CAS this year.

Schoolboys, don't use this as a way to talk up your sides.

Yes I agree. It will be a battle between Knox and Barker, I believe Knox will edge it. Next week at death valley will really show whether Waverley deserve to be in this debate or not. Regardless Aloys and Trinity is the wooden spoon matchup.

Respectable list mate. No glaring misses, however I have heard Weaver (9) from Barker is quite a solid player. But Ward and Patterson are both very solid

Any updates on players returning from injury for Waverley?
Click to expand...
All players will be back for next week. Will finally be at full strength. Except for Poitaha who will not be back.

The biggest in is Morshead Fidel. The best back for Waverley returning after an injury on the Japan tour. Handy bringing in a third year 1sts player into the backline.

Only one close match-up next week, I'm afraid. Knox will hammer Trinity and Barker will pulverize St Aloysius. Waverley v Cranbrook will be closer, although I'm expecting Waverley to finish in front.

With all the comms coming out of Cranbrook, you would expect none of the matches to be close with Cranbrook to run out massive victors on the day.

Its a shame there is such a disconnect in skill within the CAS competition.

Waverley and Cranbrook will however be a very close fixture this weekend. If Cranbrook manages a win, they may be strong contenders for a good placing this year. However, with the sudden death nature of the CAS competition with a limited amount of rounds, who knows what might happen.

That’s a big in if that’s the case. He was in the Waverley undefeated 2021 team. Good timing just before CAS too.
