Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

[Poupou Escobar]

I believe Goodall is contracted for next year too, so he will at least be playing for Wenty.

Clay gives Lavaka some space with another looping pass that beats the Penrith defenders. Lavaka beats a few defenders as he tracks the ball in field before Clay grubbers it on the next tackle.

It is a poor kick and easily fielded by Penrith who then get a penalty for lazy high arm on a chaser.

Penrith fail to do anything with the chance though as they lose the ball from the first play after the touch finder.

Pritchard is fired up (in a positive manner) as the ref calls for the Parra scrum.

 

[Kornstar]

As a club, we can drop a ball, can't we?

We are our own worst enemy, we are the better side, just can't hold onto the ball!

 

[Forty20]

Tangiona has lost the ball in a heavy collision near the try line. Penrith recover the pill and spin it immediately to their right.

They fight their way to the half way line before the ref pings them for a forward pass.

Really scrappy second half but the boys are holding on.

Parra scrum 10m into Penrith's half.

72min gone.

 

[Twizzle]

hang in there boys

 

[Forty20]

Matterson finds Moeroa with a nice short ball and Tepai does to well to fight for some more metres.

Pritchard says f**k it and puts his hand up for a hit up and absolutely flies at the Penrith defensive line, which gives Matterson the momentum on the next play to storm his way to the try line. He carries around three defenders with him and slams the ball down to take the game beyond doubt.

Davis is back on target to add the two points.

Parra lead Penrith 26-12

74min gone.

Kaysa Pritchard is a machine... Honestly I've rated this for a while now, but I didn't realize how tough he was, he is clearly struggling but doesn't stop. Taking hit ups props should be taking.

What a game!

Sounds Like Kaysa has been the stand out

He has been inspirational! Kelepi has had a big second half too!

 

[Forty20]

Basic set from Parra after points.

Clay finds the grass after a right edge focused set and Penrith play it back down their right.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Pritchard is receiving attention again.

 

[hindy111]

A mate of mine actualy reckons Matterson could be a surprise packet out of the lot.Ive een him play and he did go ok.Has good size about him.

 

[Forty20]

Pritchard is down again and is limping off

Makelim takes a spectacular catch and picks up a penalty for getting attacked in the air.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Hes off, looks to be cramp.

 

[Forty20]

Great run from Moeroa down the left before Parra try to create something down the right with another backline moved.

There was definitely space there for Clay to run but he has gone with out it before the Eels concede another penalty.

 

[Forty20]

Yet another penalty, this time for a hand on the ball as Penrith take the tap 20m out from our try line.

 

[Joely01]

He has been inspirational! Kelepi has had a big second half too!

Yeah the NRL experienced boys have really lifted in the second half. But Pritchard has been 3 classes above

 

[Forty20]

Another Eel down after heavy contact near the black dot.

 

[Twizzle]

think we could forgive him for being cramped up
