Eels - Toyota Cup

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

The NYC will be on again which is great because I can tape it. On Sunday its the Warriors vs Eels. Sonny Fai wont be in the NYC because he has taken Steve Prices place in 1st grade. He is a talent.

 

[The Colonel]

MITS - any chance you taped the NYC on Saturday? Kate didn't because she thought they lost!

 

[Twizzle]

great news, I'll be watching it

 

[Nikki]

How exciting is it that the boys get to travel over to NZ? I reckon the experience of travelling, esp with the First Grade boys will do them wonders!

Lucky to be 12 all at half time, we've hardly had the ball, far too many mistakes and silly penalties.

2 individual efforts to Daniel Mortimer has kept us in the game.

Our wingers are pretty crap at defence, Cox ran out of the line to leave a huge hole for the first warrior try and MClelland just cant read the play or tackle.

If we can just hang onto the ball we could walk away with this but our guys could be pretty tired will all the defence they've done in the first half.

they were ordinary reads weren't they???..Daniel "Cousins" Mortimer is picking up where he left off last week.

 

[Twizzle]

nice try to Tony Williams, Eels hit the lead for the first time

16-12

 

[TheParraboy]

eels 26-16

 

[Skinner]

Williams was outstanding for your young guys. Good effort and a good win.

Terrific game to watch.

 

[Nikki]

I noticed during the trials that Shaun Cox consistenlty run up off his line.

 

[hineyrulz]

I thought both wingers we're ordinary, one handed pick ups from dummy half leading to try's WTF???? But our Pack was outstanding.

 

[Stagger eel]

they're little things you can fix in wingers, I still rate Cox very highly and potentially could turn out to be one of the most damaging runners at the club.

 

[The Colonel]

Mortimer is coming along very nicely. Outshone his halves partner again this week who is looking to be involved too much methinks.

I agree.

I think Mortimer looks a terrific prospect.

Keating needs to be more selfless IMO.

Benefiting from training full time with the boys this year......

Kris Keating is class and if doesnt get start in 1st grade soon then he should look elsewhere to play

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

Guys I didn't get to see much footy over the weekend...how do the Warriors young blokes hold up?

Good to see our blokes do well again.

 

[Twizzle]

Warriors have some big blokes in their forward pack, much like ours

our halves were probably the main difference

How old is he?
Surely he needs a stint at Wenty before this happens??
This would be the equivalent of promoting a jersey flegg player directly into first grade... thats a massive call

 

[100yearsRL]

I think that if Tim Smith gets injured or is out for a reason, then time for him to have a taste.
