TOYOTA CUP SQUAD NAMED FOR SEASON 2009
4.30pm, Monday 10 November 2008

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels have kicked off preparations for Toyota Cup season 2009 with a 34-man squad coming together Monday to begin pre-season training.

The depth of the squad is a highlight with a total of 15 players having featured for the Eels at some point during season one of the national under 20’s competition in 2008.

New recruit Lachlan Gowland also has Toyota Cup experience having played five games for St. George-Illawarra last season.

Head Coach Matt Cameron says while he’s enthusiastic about the quality of the 2009 squad there is a lot of hard work to be done before it’s ready to take the field.

“You can’t replicate experience so it’s a definite plus to have so many players having already played Toyota Cup,” Cameron said.

“However last season counts for very little with so many new guys coming in.

“We’re fortunate to have three 2008 Australian Schoolboys in Tim Auremi, Albert Kelly and Daniel Galati in the squad and we’ve recruited strongly if selectively from outside.

“But ultimately Parramatta’s focus is on developing our juniors and this squad is reflective of that, with the vast majority of the squad coming from junior clubs within our district and through the club’s district representative program.”

The Eels finished fifth on the 2008 Toyota Cup ladder and were eventually bundled out in week two of the Finals.

I'd be playing Mitchell Allgood up front as Joel Latham just seems too small to make any impact.

I have noticed that RLMEDIA posts have been edited to delete a reference to a website that promotes rugby league and rugby league news.

It seems strange to me that a rugby league forum would attempt to snuff out rugby league news. Most peculiar mama!
