Parramatta Eels Juniors

I've come up with an idea:
I think what we need to do is get rid of the National under 15s schoolboy championship and replace it with a national under 16s schoolboy championship.
That is a better age group to do the national championships. A lot of Parra Juniors would be in this hypothetical championship - just as they are in the under 15s.
Any thoughts on this as an idea that I have come up with?

Thinking of lads that had great Parramatta Eels junior careers. Junior careers get forgotten especially if they did not "kick on". I used to follow the Eels juniors in the 90s (probably to cope with the fact first grade was a disaster) as best as I could - looking at the Eel Magazine, Commonwealth Bank cup games, Newspaper results sections on Mondays and that almanac type book that would get published at the end of each year.
A few names: Lenny Beckett, Kris Keating, Danny Sullivan, Garen Casey
The Eels should have a juniors hall of fame. That is a big thing in the USA.

A few names: Lenny Beckett, Kris Keating, who was that second rower that got a broken leg that finished his career? Who else should be on this list?

Danny Sullivan?

On our junior i still remember going to school with a lot of kids that played a lot of footy...

Every year they would first try out for the Eels Matt's side then if they didn't make it they then try out for other sides and the Tigers were always their last hope..

Great vision here from the Eels earns first points. Eels worked their way downfield and on the last Caleb Leiataua sums it perfectly with a cross field kick that lands right in Leonard Salters bread basket for a try. Conversion from the sideline is unsuccessful.

Eels 4 - 0 after 9mins.
