Also the last time their was a three way tie for premiershipLast stat today, I promise... the last time Waverley, Knox and Trinity shared the premiership was 2000 - when Waverley's best player was Morgan Turinui (and Trinity upset Waverley 28-12). So if you believe in omens...

Congratulations Felix Turinui, who scored 3 tries and 8 goals today for 31 points
No dads running touch on the sideline to overturn the decisions?Big congrats to Trinty on an epic win today. The game was a real nail biter and the difference was the goal kicking of Trinty 9. Some great play from Barker 1, 4, 7, 9, 12 and 15. Trinty 8 was outstanding especially for the try under the posts, also their 7 and 15 went well.
A couple of very bizarre decisions by the ref including ruling the Barker 15 threw the ball over the dead ball line when it looked like he just lost his feet trying to gather the ball and run it out of ingoal.
daddy wasn't there to save the day what a shameNo dads running touch on the sideline to overturn the decisions?
Shame.
Ok SNORT! After numerous years of terrific conversations, this last game will be between our 2 schools, as to who wins/shares the Plume Shield, maybe also with Knox.Last stat today, I promise... the last time Waverley, Knox and Trinity shared the premiership was 2000 - when Waverley's best player was Morgan Turinui (and Trinity upset Waverley 28-12).

Yes Snort, everything you have said resonates and is emotional. These truisms are way to often, and are felt by those who aren't even connected.WLF, will do my best to get there. Can you arrange for Waverley to put the 3rds on at half time again next week?
Seriously, whatever happens next week (and I expect Waverley to win), it has been a remarkable season for Trinity. They were ordinary in the trials, lost their best forward (Meagher) to injury before the competition started, and got touched up by Knox in Round One - yet here they are playing for a share of the Shield. They're having the season Cranbrook expected to have. They'll probably finish third behind Waverley and Knox, but given their resources that would be a fine effort. It has a lot to do with the character of the side, and quite a bit to do with the leadership of Hatton-Ward.
It has also been quite an emotional season. Sam Niulala's father, Suli, who taught in the Trinity junior school, died from cancer late last year. For Sam Niulala to have played as well as he has this season has been a remarkable effort.
CAS Rugby 2022, the very simple explanation about the far corner is that this is the spot all the recent young Old Boys, most of whom played in the 1s,2s or 3s in the most recent years, many are now playing colts for Randwick, congregate.And to link your stats post from 2022 which provides some more background.

I adore the theatre at Queens Park and to all, it always takes two to tango. The far corner melee brought a smile to my face. Why WLF does all conflict over the years always seem to originate in that far corner? Almost predictable. What another great game. Could not rate it as good as 2017 or...www.greenandgoldrugby.com
Definitely not as a mature as a Barker touchie.Very mature
And he only played 1 half of the game.Congratulations Felix Turinui, who scored 3 tries and 8 goals today for 31 points - the most ever by any individual in a Plume Shield game (ahead of Mitch Wheals of Barker and Alex Sherlock of Knox, each of whom scored 30).

Cranbrook have effectively won the 2s premiership for two years running now, if they don't lose to St Aloys they will be undefeated in CAS too. Not only does this speak to the not so great depth of other teams, but also represents how close this season was for Cranbrook 1st XV. They lost to Trinity, Barker and Waverley all by 2 points, some games more controversial than others. Should be a very interesting season next year.

I know the 1stXV is very year 12 heavy with there being around 4-5 year 11s. To my knowledge the 2nd XV is more mixed.Isn't this Cranbrook opens cohort quite year 12 heavy?
