Parramatta Eels Juniors

[T-Boon]

Hopefully Utoikamanu’s performance didn’t get him rewarded with a new contract from the Roosters.

I don't know, they have done ok developing Ryan Matterson who we should try to get back. Maybe thats how we should do it from now on.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

'Developing'

He's an average first grader, at a position we're fairly strong in already. The only way he wouldn't have become an average first grader at Parra was being stuck behind better players. You know he's older than Tepai Moeroa?

Or Kelepi Tanginoa...or Jacob Loko...or.....

Tanginoa has good attitude. Just a little small.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you're going to be undersized that needs to be your only weakness. Tanginoa also lacks work rate. Good speed and power though.

Still cant believe Nsw won with so many players ruled out with injuries.
Great effort bye the Parra boys.
Nsw structure was very ordinary as was there organisation. There halves were very poor which in return didnt allow JP. Norah into the game.
Stefano was strong up front.

Just as a matter of interest what is the overall record of this Under 18's State game?

I know I'm generalising, but I would have thought that NSW would have more bigger, faster and stronger Polynesian kids and would win this match every year?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You don't rate the Polynesian kids in Queensland?

I just think statistically there would be more Polynesian kids in NSW than in Qld...again, I'm probably generalising.

The last 5 years Nsw won 4 lost 1 not including this year.
So it now stands 5-1 Nsw way.
As for islanders there are a few in Qld. Look at last years u18s Qld had more Islanders than Nsw

I don’t have the numbers on heritage but comparing the number of Islander surnames between the two teams shows you’re right. NSW had 20% more Islander surnames. But with only nine such names featured across the 34, surely they aren’t quite as important as you think.

You don't think the number of Islander surnames would be representative of the number of Islanders, at least compared between the two teams?

Tyson Smoothy

Get f**ked

Well it might.

One of them might also have a good ol' Scots Highlander surname like Frizell and throw us all off.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But that's equally likely for both teams.

did you include Polynesian surnames similar to Edwards, Jennings & Pritchard

 

[T-Boon]

Exactly. Unless they have some sort of albino name like Alvaro I assume they are Islander.

Hey Pou - My apologies mate. I'm completely dumbfounded where this quote has come from as i have not been on my computer since my big post at 7.19pm. So i'm confused where the QUOTE frfom me mentioning TYSON SMOOTHY came from as i didnt write that..!
Tyson is not Islander at all.! His White, That is why i'm confused as i know the family & didnt write he was Islander or where it came from.!

The other boys i didnt write as Islanders where Sebastian Kris who has Aboriginal in him but also looks a little Islander but unsure.
The other boy is Payne Hass as i know his family have Phillipines in him but also looks Islander somewhere.
