In Matthews we conceded the Try dead set on the buzzer, they converted and celebrated like it was a grand final.

In Ball, we just came out after half time and blew them off the park.

Mark would you be able to comment on the imports, O'Hanlon, Murray, et al?

just in case he doesn't come back on line, he made special mention of O'Hanlon who scored the first try and generally played very well.

O'Hanlon, is a very very big boy, about a head above all the other boys in the Parramatta Squad, he defended out at Centre, and absolutely dominated out there. He Scored the First Tray and Set you up for I think Jorge Taufua. He is a very good player.

I didn't take any special mention of Murray, I am sorry to say, there were far more impressive players. Rodney Moefaauo, and Jarrod Azar, were very good, Tim Crellin was sneaky all day.

Good to hear O'Hanlon played well and he looks to be a good buy for the club. I heard he is a great defender as well as good with the ball. I think the club plans to play him in the 20's after Ball finishes.

I also haven't been impressed with half back Josh Murray in the few games I've seen him play. Moefaauo and Azar are the props from last years Harold Matthews premiership winning team and the mind boggles at how good they will be next year when they back up again for Ball. I understand both players are contracted to Parramatta.

Thanks for your reports. Much appreciated.

Moefaauo has become a personal favourite of mind, the kid is a monster and plays like one...could also make ellevation to NYC this year I think.

I noticed he got across the line again yesterday. He was the leading try scorer for Para last year. 10 metres from the opposition line he is almost unstopable.

Yeah.....I wonder whether they will give him a go in the 20's. It might be rushing him as he is only 16. Doesn't turn 17 until August.
