Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

Pretty sure it was Folau, has just smashed a bloke, what a hit

 

[Forty20]

Folau just hammered the Penrith 11.

Cheers, merkin.

 

[Forty20]

Penrith finally breach our defence in the second half with some great play from dummy half.

The pass from the Penrith player was pin point down our left edge to hit the flying #2.

Conversion waved away.

Penrith trail Parra 12-20

60min gone.

Yes

Soft stuff from Parra there as #14, Katoa carves us up the middle.

He has support looming inside but channels John Folau and holds onto it.

Penrith immediately attack our left where we are massively short and some second phase play gets Joshua Jay into space again.

He backs himself down the sideline but loses it over the try line to give Parra the 20m restart.

We then pick up a penalty to go on the attack.

 

[Joely01]

Well done to our fullback, went from one side of the field to the other to save a certain try ..

 

[Forty20]

More time off, looks like a blood bin for Penrith.

 

[Forty20]

Great run from Folau from the scrum restart before Kelepi fires up down the middle of the pitch. Katoa from Penrith has an absolutely dumbfounding second attempt at tackling Kelepi to give away another penalty before we lose it over the line in a scoring attempt.

20m restart for Penrith.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

They've still got Bryce Cartwright playing for them. I recognise a couple of other Panthers players from last year's NYC. Are they really that ordinary?

 

[Forty20]

Makelim does so well to clean up the Penrith grubber and make a quick 30m before having the ball knocked out of his grasp, undoing all of his goodwork.

Penrith knock to follow so the ref stops play for a Penrith scrum.

 

[Fearless Freeman]

Goodall is certainly a very good prospect.

Goodall signed with Parra for two years, he is a Parra junior who played for Wenty in junior league and attended Hills Sports High School before signing with Manly 2012. At 17 he began with Many NYC team and last year after he was transferred from the 2nd row to the wing for the last 10 games when he scored 12 tries, 102 runs for 1328 meters at 13 meters per run, 26 tackles, 22 offloads and 8 line breaks.
Despite receiving a number of offers from rival clubs he was keen to return "home" with Brad Arthur who is said to had established a good connection with him at Manly. At age 18 he was chosen to contest the Battle of Bati in Fiji which served as a World Cup selection trial. Most important, he is a local junior, pinched by Manly, but now back at home in Parramatta with seemingly a very bright future.

They're not doing much. Cartwright looks to have bulked up and slowed.

You wouldn't know they were the dominant premiers of the competition last year.

The ball falls on the carpet for Penrith but it has gone backwards. The Panthers go to our left edge where they are lucky to pick up another set of six from a scrum as Parra knock the ball down.

Good stuff, mate.

Goodal looks slow to me but ive only seen him once.Reminded me of Toutai actualy.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Great goal line defence!

 

[Joely01]

Our defence has been superb this game.

 

[Forty20]

Desperate defence from the Eels in this set. Penrith had some excellent runners across the six tackles but Parra marked up well before Penrith made the error on the last.
