Eels Holden Cup Team and junior reps thread, Part II

Got belted. At least they can join the NYC squad sooner.

And in a sign they might be clearing some space in NYC for some of the ball players, in this case maybe Tui, hearing Fabian Goodall will play for Wenty tomorrow

When Folau was sin-binned for punching tonight I thought Tui Oloapu could come in for him anyway.

But it will be good to test Goodall out against grown men, since he will be in the NRL squad next year.

Tui played quite well against the Bears in the NSW Cup. He is still filling out but he goes pretty well around the ruck even so. Considering he is eligible for the NYC (but no longer part of that squad), I would say he is developing very solidly.

Assuming Goodall plays on his favoured left-edge, he would push Bureta Faraimo either out of the team or into another position. He is physically up to the NSW Cup, so hopefully he does get a crack tomorrow.

Wrong Tui, mate.

Was referring to the SG Ball centre Oloapu, who trained with the NYC squad at the start of the year. There's a pic of him on another site.

Also video here: http://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2014/04/23/rabbitohs_v_eels_sgb_finals_wk_1.html

Playing right centre (in jersey 4), he scores a try at about 1:16.

Oh dear, that was stupid on my part.

I've checked a lot of other sites but can't see it. Can you give any clues?

It's on an ad agency site. "I feel like a Tui's or two". Someone should run with that ad....could be successful.

No I cannot.

That effort against the Tigpies was special at ~0:50 was special.

Good find mate.

They also have highlights for Tepai Moeroa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxPUXJnY72Q

The opening third of that video also serves as a good highlight reel for Ryan Matterson.

P.S Why are these merkins allowed to film the bloody games?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they're furtive about it?

The Moeroa video did not disappoint.

A solid two and a half minutes of him belting various merkins.

Or maybe I need to print some business cards for Forty20's Sports Management Firm and start handing them out to anyone that bugs me about filming the game?

He's quite a unit. He'll also have to be careful with lifting in tackles given the new rules.

TEPAI! That vid is great.

The effort to prevent the 40/20 v Manly and subsequent run were outstanding also. I like what I see. Big, strong and fast. Looks safe under the high ball. Not enough footage of defence to comment properly there.

Some merkin called Furtive Twentive
