Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

[Forty20]

Ordinary kick from Penrith on the last. Looked like a torpedo bomb attempt but it has sailed over the touch line to give Parra a change over 10m short of halfway.

 

[Forty20]

Lavaka does well to handle a scratchy pass from Makelim on the sideline before Parra come back to the middle third.

An error from Tepu-Smith gives Penrith the ball 15m out from their line.

 

[strider]

Goodall is making massive meters from our 20m taps.

How many?

Too many for you to even believe!

massive metres maroubra ... its slightly more than great

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I know Penrith are average, but gee, we look like a much different team so far this year.

 

[Forty20]

Good metres from Penrith down our right after some quick play-the-balls.

We do well not to have our line broken before Penrith kick down the same egde and find touch 10m out from our line.

Parra scrum 10m from our goal line.

 

[Forty20]

I know Penrith are average, but gee, we look like a much different team so far this year.

Hah, as I type that we are much more disciplined team by NYC standards we make a stupid error.

Penrith scrum 30m out from our line.

 

[Forty20]

Penrith focus on our right edge early in the set but we number up well and move quickly to shit down Scarlett's sweeping play.

The Panthers then go to the right with their fullback, Geyer chiming in with a nice grubber but Lavaka reads it well and gets back to force the ball in goals.

Line drop out for Penrith.

 

[Forty20]

The right edge aims up for a second set in a row as Scarlett drifts to his left and fires a short ball to #11, Smith.

It is too hard however with the defenders closing in and Parra force the error.

Parra scrum 25m out from their goal line.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Hah, as I type that we are much more disciplined team by NYC standards we make a stupid error.

Penrith scrum 30m out from our line.

Haha. Unusual error from Pritchard, he will make up for it.

 

[Joely01]

Very sloppy second half so far...

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Lol now Lussick..

 

[Forty20]

A couple of really strong carries to start the set there by Aloiai (I think) and Tepu-Smith before Lussick rushes his pickup at dummy half and turns the ball over.

Penrith scrum 10m into Parra's half.

 

[Forty20]

Penalty to Penrith, hands on the ball.

The Panthers are held up over the line after attacking our right edge again with Pritchard receiving more attention after that tackle.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Pritchard helps hold up a bloke over the line and he needs attention, again.

Hes ok.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Too quick mate.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Hahaha. Ive been waiting for the usual Parra v Penrith dust up. It was nearly on.

 

[Forty20]

#6 Brackenhofer goes close for the Panthers as he cuts back on his dart down the right edge but the sliding defence pulls him down just in time to force the change over.

Tepu-Smith makes another strong run but gets greedy as he looks for the offload. Penrith and Parra both contest the loose ball but Penrith come away with it and then pick up a penalty before both teams get involved in the usual soft fracas.

 

[Joely01]

Pritchard is a beast, doesn't stop. Even the trainer wanted him to go off

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Folau just hammered the Penrith 11.

 

[Forty20]

A merkin from Parra has belted a merkin from Penrith.

I didn't catch the numbers but only the Parra player got up.

Time off again.
