Eels lead Newtown

by Phil Sim
Parramatta is outclassing their Newtown Jet rivals in todays trial at Gosford leading 30 to 6 at half time.

The Eels got out to a quick lead with Blake Green scoring inside 5 minutes before rake Matt Keating crashed over from dummy half. Half James Maloney kicked both goals to give Parra an early 12 to 0 lead.

The Eels went off the boil for the next 15 minutes and let Newtown back into the game with a soft backline try but Eels star playmaker Blake Green put the Eels back on the front foot at the 30 minute mark.

A fine kick in general play forced tbe Newtown winger to bring the ball out of his own goal, however he only succeeded in spilling the ball back to Green. From the ensuing play Parra swung the ball to the blindside where the willing James Grehan crashed over two defenders to score. Maloney converted from touch.

A couple minutes later Green fired a rocket pass for Richard Faaoso who crashed over and not long after created a try for McConkie Tauasa with a great crossfield kick. Maloney converted again from wide to leave the Eels well in control 30 to 6.

Green is dominating the match while the Eels second rowers are proving too strong for their opponents.

UPDATE - Parramaata looked like extending their lead early in the 2nd half when Faaoso slipped a great ball to Green but the Eels number six couldn't find a support and the ball went to ground.

Instead it was Newtown who created points putting on two soft tries after Parramatta errors and infringements to get back to 30 to 16.

36-16 fulltime according to Phil Sim's site.
Sounds like Blake Green has the pressure on the halves...

Green was a class above, Zeb Taia was awesome on the fringes while James Grehan was always in the action.Richard Fa'aoso was barnstorming but struggled with his hands

He's good but lacky with hands :( cost us last weekeend aswell.

I'd say Fa'aoso played prems with Hauraki pulling out due to his rib injury

Hauraki ended up playing both Paolo and Tsolous pulled out.

Lett needs to learn how to catch a football on the full if he wants to play fullback. Other than that pretty much the whole team played quite well.....

Green was very good but probably needs to work on his short kicking game. Fa'aso was really good but as everyone else has said his hands do let him down. Zeb was good too.

Flegg: Tony Williams........ He could be anything scored 2 ...freak.

Williams had a fantastic game. Was everywhere. Set up a good try for Tannous.

Tannous first try was a ripper as well. Bloody quick winger....

both flegg and prems had problems with reading the opposition kicks, Tapa and Lett really need to work on that side of their game.

Hey Eela,

He got really involved today. Don't know if they can hold him back in flegg this year..... I reckon he will be very comfortable in PL.

Lett didn't even look like trying to catch one.... very nerve wracking.

Ohh and i was Impressed with the 3/4 in the flegg with weird name and the other weird name in PL.

Mase Laulu Togagae and Taulima Tautai?

Thought all four lower grade centres played well. Johnathan Wright played great and got a spot oh the PL bench and James Grehan was quite solid.

I was just telling Delboy while watching him that he's just too good for flegg, the coaching staff will have to bite the bullet sooner rather than later and put him up, but this may be an issue the cap.

You noticed that when he scored his first try, he actually took a wrong option and went himself instead of passing to the winger to stroll over?? him, Jonathon Wright and Fereni Moefauo will cause carneige non that left side if they keep them together.
