Hey men,
After many years of sharing thoughts and debates on the CAS threads, I’m retiring from the forum. It’s been a great ride, and I’ve loved being part of this rugby community. Thanks for all the memories and great chats over the years.
I’ll still be cheering from the sidelines, but it’s time to move on.
Cheers Men,
#BOBTALAU

Hey Bob,
I know we might have had our differences over the course of this forum, but when all is said and done it has been a pleasure having you with us on this forum. Your insights have been most valuable and I wish you luck in wherever you're headed next. Best of luck to Aloys this season, let's hope they can get a win. Feel free to stop by in the forums whenever, I'll be here to welcome you back. S.B.1994 will always remember you.

Cheers Men,
Full Scrum Ahead!

It's a shame @Knox_to_win had to ruin such a memorable moment in this forum. Hope he takes a long hard look at himself. Full Scrum Ahead!

Classic Cranbrook. Blame others for your own downfall. No wonder you got beat by 60.

predicted CAS first team
@Mule????

Good question to bring this forum back to rugby talk, thank you!!

CAS Selections will be intriguing, and will lead to much discussion I'm sure.... the more (fair) discussion the better I say, as we all know, Rugby needs more & more engagement!

On my opinions in response to your question, my answer (or non answer!) is 3 fold:
1. I have zero idea outside of Knox & Barker (and really only limited cranky old man ideas with K & B!) potentials as I don't know (as well) many of the others schools players other than last years Opens & U16s that featured for CAS and other rep teams
2. I haven't watched enough/any of Cranbrook (Saturday wasn't enough to form an opinion), Aloys, Waverley & Trinity games this year, and
2. I try and restrain myself (not successfully sometimes) to refrain about talking about individuals performance ...

Let's hope, all in all, representative honour privileges are awarded on merit

There’s a certain member in here with some good posts but playing cute.

Actually working with NSW Juniors and you’d hope they have more idea then they let on.

They’ll know

Does anyone have the matchups for this weekend? I only know of Cranbrook v Waverley. Full Scrum Ahead!

@Knox_to_win what happened against barker, but quiet on the forum last week??
Micheal out

Barker aren’t running around pretending they are the best thing since sliced bread like Cranbrook boys.

 

[FNC Rugby]

The rest of us don’t sweep sexual assault under the carpet, unlike Cranbrook.

Five days inside Cranbrook: The principal, the emails and the resignation

It has been a tumultuous week at Cranbrook following the resignation of headmaster Nicholas Sampson. The volatility might not be over yet.

So no.

i see your Cranbrook and raise you Dr Paterson and Knox Grammar

 

[FNC Rugby]

Please elaborate Raelene.

We arent talking the 1995 Knox Grammar school prop who coaches Sydney and has a kid in this years Knox 1stXV with the surname that rhymes with "Toyman"

Interesting. @The Ghost of Raelene can you either confirm or deny this? Full Scrum Ahead!

Thanks for that. Reds by 100+ Ha! While it sounds like a joke, I've got to say that I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. But as I always say, you never know. Full Scrum Ahead!

Could argue that it could be more than 100
