Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Kornstar]

Tigers got a try off a forward pass, well done refs, f**king useless as always. It wasn't just a little forward either, it was offside forward.

 

[Forty20]

The pressure tells though and the strike through our right edge backrow channel - where Jack Morris would be defending if it were not for the injury sustained in the first half. That was a simple crash ball and we didn't push up as a line to stop it.

The conversion is unsuccessful from next to the posts!

Huge play from Abbas Miski. The Tigers put up an attacking bomb and get 2 or 3 men around the contest and Miski deadset is a thief in the night as he plucks the ball out of the air and makes 25m afterwards!

We ruck it downfield and look for a repeat set from a grubber kick but the Tigers get back into the field of play and then get a contentious penalty as they ball pops out.

 

[Forty20]

Good set of defence before French again shows his class. The Tigers run it down their left edge short side and roll in a shallow grubber from 30m out and French just pops up out of nowhere and cleans the ball up perfectly.

Fortune for the Eels at the completion of this set! The kick has brushed the ref in the Tigers' half so we pack down for a scrum!

3min on the clock, huge chance to close out the game.

It was off a forward pass Cameron Smith would be proud of.

Parra work it to the left. Izzard and French each take a tackle trying to get the ball over the line before the ball comes to ZDC down the right and he steps and weaves to the line! I think he has scored but the ref thinks otherwise and the Eels are furious! Wow.

We come back for the last tackle play where Izzard completely shuts down and takes the tackle. What was he thinking!?

Tigers get very adventurous chasing the win and makes metres down our left with some risky passes. They come to the opposite edge where they are well taken and shockingly run it on the last! We bring the ball down and say thank you very much!

1min to go.

 

[Forty20]

And Parra get what should be the game winning penalty as a marker is massively offside.

ZDC finds touch and Mason Cerruto gets the last carry of the game.

Pfft look at these posers, I was live streaming before it was cool!

In all seriousness though I am glad that the NRL is finally taking steps, albeit baby ones, in this area.

Unfortunately, it's kind of a step backwards considering this game was shown on TV (although it was played during the rep round) for the past 3 years.

It's funny - my mate and I were sitting right behind the Tigers kicker, and we stayed totally quiet during his kick prep.

Just before he was about to kick the ball, we both screamed out, "MISS!" as loud as we could, and he missed.

We will take the credit for his miss lol.

We did get the District Rep finals, National Championship, Origin 16s and Origin 18s all streamed though so that is something. One day I hope that the Holden Cup (or whatever replaces it post 2017) and the NSW Cup will be live streamed and thus available post-game as on-demand videos.

What happened to Erickson Aukafolou. He was getting good wraps at the start of the 2014 season before getting injured. He is part of the 2015 u20 squad but hasn't been seen.
