Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

[Jake the snake]

tbh we haven't been at our best in the last few weeks.

 

[Forty20]

Melbourne work the ball around the middle before a bullocking run from Francis Tuala (sp) takes him through 3 or 4 defenders under the posts.

Trouble now for Parra.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee there are some gumbies in this line up.

 

[half_back]

Bad miss by Markus there

 

[hindy111]

Not going to script

 

[Kornstar]

This is not a 3 loss team, this will be a well deserved loss imo.

And now we challenge, how f**king dumb are we?????

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Why challenge ? When you know it's a try

 

[Delboy]

Nothing to do with the try, but Makelim has had a very ordinary game, he gets wraps but not sure why as he is a poor defender

 

[Forty20]

Clay throws a desperation challenge at the try but I don't see how it can amount to anything. Replays suggest that Bush may have got his hand under the ball but it would be a bold decision to over turn the call.

The original decision is up held. Right call.

The conversion is successful.

The Storm finally hit the lead 26-22.

76min gone.

they d same in tennis.I said challenge

 

[parra-matters]

I'm surprised we lead at halftime we were pretty scrappy in the first half and led.

Who wraps him?

Makelim is a solid squad member in the NYC but no superstar.

Oh dear, the Storm burst through terrible defence and fly down field before the Eels manage to force an error.

Big play after some awful play.

Makelim is terrible, been hopeless in defence and his positioning has been terrible.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We are pissweak through the middle.

 

[oldmancraigy]

We are about to score.

 

[Forty20]

Moeroa with another opening hit up. Tepu-Smith follows him and offloads the ball. The Storm come away with the ball but there was a knock-on from the home team and Parra come away with a scrum 10m short of halfway.

 

[Forty20]

Li takes the first hit up this time around as Moeroa has eh second run.

Tepu-Smith slips another offload as Bush takes it.

The Eels attack down their left as Matterson fires the ball out to Davis. Davis beats the first man but play comes back for a forward pass call.

 

[oldmancraigy]

I forgot to say off a forward pass

 

[hineyrulz]

That pass was fine, fmd.

 

[hindy111]

didn't go to script.Good effort thou with so many out.
