Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

[Poupou Escobar]

Haha awesome effort Forty. Appreciate the freebie as I'm without Foxtel for another hour.

 

[hineyrulz]

How many kids were Parra juniors 40 besides Vidal and Doolan??? King is as well i think any others??? There was plenty of talent on display but Westfields were just trio strong in the forwards.

 

[Eelementary]

That Isaac Brown is a lump of a lad! Massive!

 

[Forty20]

From what I know the Parra players active in the GIO Schoolboys Cup are:

Westfields Sports High - Michael Doolan, Jason Vidal, Cameron King, Mark Griffiths

Patrician Brothers - Tyrell Fuimaono, Joey Tramontana

 

[Forty20]

Also, even though I said that Westfields have a stacked team...Patrician Brothers have a ridiculous team beyond even that of Westfields.

Holbrook Interview Abridged - Bye helped out with around five injuries. Disappointed with the last two outings against the Storm and Knights. Typical lines about getting through your sets and not thinking about the Rd.1 victory against the Warriors.

 

[Forty20]

Parramatta are receiving the ball in the first half.

 

[Forty20]

Sloppy start for the Eels as Matterson fails to get to the ball on the full. He tries to trap it with his foot and it deflects to the in goals where we finally clean it up.

The Warriors capitalise on the mistake as they hammer the Eels in the new two tackles. The Eels eventually fight their way out of the red zone but Matterson is forced to fire off a poor kick.

 

[Forty20]

Parra defend well in their first defensive set but unfortunately give the Warriors another set on the last tackle as Goodall can't quite clean up a tough kick.

The Warriors shift the ball to their left edge from the fresh set but Parra slide well and keep them out. The home team moves the ball back to the right edge before centreing the pill. They roll a ball in on the fourth tackle and Eric Newbigging does well to get to the ball first and bat it dead.

Line drop out to the Warriors.

 

[hineyrulz]

We did well to hang on there.

 

[Forty20]

Great commitment by the young Eels as they hold out the Warriors after numerous sets and force the mistake.

Solid ruck work and a good offload drive them to halfway before they work the ball to right on the last.

Lussick steps out of dummy half and drives the ball into touch near the Warriors' goal line. Good play.

New Zealand scrum 10m out from their goal line.

 

[hineyrulz]

Falonk Junior!!!!

 

[Forty20]

Tepu-Smith is left on the ground after a strong run from the Warriors. I think the only thing hurt is his pride there.

Parra come away with a turnover and then the first penalty of the game as they swing right into attack.

Parra find touch on the left edge and set up for a big right edge shift. Matterson gets the ball to Markus who then finds Dockar-Clay. Zach shapes up for the short ball but fires the cut out to Folau who beats around three or four defenders to score! Great individual effort from Folau there.

Dockar-Clay is taking the conversion attempt.

The conversion is unsuccessful.

Parra lead the Warriors 4-0

8min gone.

 

[emjaycee]

Apart from wearing wanky wigs and being the most biased commentators since Wally Lewis in SoO III are these 2 commentators stoopid.

Apparently Darcy Lussick started out at Parramatta and is now over at Manly... DOH!!

#fail

 

[emjaycee]

And John Falou is Izzy's namesake. WTF!!

 

[Forty20]

Matterson gets a hold of the ball this time around and Parra begin their set after points. The Eels make in roads around the ruck through Li (?) and Dockar-Clay before Matterson is caught on the penultimate tackle.

Dockar-Clay bombs it towards the right on the last and the Eels win the contest with a bat-back but we can't clear the ball a second time as Markus' kick rolls dejectedly into some defenders.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee nearly in the corner there.

 

[Forty20]

The Eels pick up another penalty and will resume play just inside the Warrior's half.

Goodall takes the first charge and it is a very good run and he is followed with a massive run by Aloiai.

Parra move the ball to the right and Markus generates some second phase play for Lussick who goes close to scoring!

The Eels bring the ball to the left edge shortside on the next play and Matterson is able to beat the initial rush and hit Makelim with the ball.

Makelim tries to draw and pass to Goodall but Fabian can't get the ball down in time and it is a turnover.
