Parkes Trial *live updates*

[BlueNGoldBlood]

Thanks for the updates WC and to whomever updated you

It sounds like a few of our hopefuls for 1st grade have done themselves some favors, good stuff

You can only play what's infront of you Pete. INu has been a star in the lower grades for a few years now. Your contacts at Parra can verify this.

I totally agree with you and - don't get me wrong - I wasn't trying to denigrate Inu.
I have been impressed with him also....he's a star in the making that's for sure..
I trust your judgement (in most instances ;-) ;-) nudge nudge, know what I mean)..

Thanks for whoever texted the scores through and for those who posted them here on the forum. Terrific committment and service. Well done

Isn't it funny. It is probably just a Premier League trial but the fanatics travelled up to Parkes and provide support to the players. Passionate support too.

You people love your Eels, that's for sure... PROUD OF YA!

 

[Angry_eel]

Yeah I know who you are refering to :lol: Let's save that one for another day.Pete, Do you think INU should be started infront of B Smith? If you were the coach....

That would have been Star Timani, there was a little story on him the other day on channel 10. only 20, 201cm and 115 Kg, and will definitely get bigger. This is him

Eels win trial match against Sharks

Michael Hagan's reign as Parramatta coach has got off to the best possible start with an understrength Eels outfit beating Cronulla 36-14 in Saturday's NRL trial in Parkes.

The Eels scored seven tries to the Sharks' three in what was the first hitout for both sides ahead of the season proper, which kicks off in just under four weeks.

Hagan chose to rest most of his first-choice squad for the match but the Eels still had too much class for the Sharks, with young Parramatta halves Blake Green and Feleti Mateo particularly impressive.

Despite their performance they are still likely to find themselves in Premier League for round one of the NRL with Hagan insisting he was set to go with Tim Smith and new buy Brett Finch in the halves for the trip to New Zealand when the Eels meet the Warriors in the season opener.

Stand-in skipper Mark Riddell also showed he was ready for a big season with a try and two goals in a typically robust performance, while former Sydney Rooster Richard Fa'aoso did his claims for a place in the Eels pack no end of good with a powerful debut.

"It probably doesn't mean too much but it's good to get the season off to a winning start," said Hagan, who would have been just as relieved to see his side get through the game without any injury concerns.

While the scoreline wouldn't have left on smile on new Sharks coach Ricky Stuart's face, he would have been happy to have seen Ben Ross get through the game unscathed.

The former Queensland Origin front rower was playing his first game in almost 10 months following a knee reconstruction.

Halfback Brett Kearney, former Manly three-quarter Paul Stephenson and young centre Dane Neilsen scored tries for the Sharks, while former Brisbane centre Fraser Anderson showed he was ready for a lengthy stint in the top grade with a solid display.

is anyone else concerned about goal kicking?
I just hope Burt still has it

i hope Burt isnt in first grade, i'd give the job to Riddell

Riddell used to kick at 80 % with the salute at St George. With us, his kicking has not been up to scratch

 

[Hurriflatch]

It's just the trials seems the same every year that all teams have poor goalkicking success rates in the trials as they get more in game practice it'll get better.

Might even seen Timmy get some shots this year if Burt doesn't play or Riddell is off the ground.

burt should only be there for injuries this year, nothing more, nothing less.
