Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[IN THE KNOW]

After some more snooping I've found out that these players are 15 from the Harold Matthews squad: Campbell Byrd, Tallis Smith, Josh Gatt, and Justin Dalby. Delboy do you have any further info on these teams/want to shed some light on the ones to watch?

I'm thinking Dane Oostendorp is the one to watch from the outside backs. Wellington Seve from the forwards.

Yeah young Dane goes ok , have heard he gets a bit of 1on1 coaching from former Parra coach Brad Jennings , i dont think the young guys are allowed to play in 2016 i recall hearing the league was stopping kids playing up ayear at rep level ?? could be wrong .

In the 15's the players that impressed me were: 2,3,4,7,9,11,13. Stefano Utoikamanu (#8?) is absolutely huge as were our other middle forwards.

In the other game the players that impressed me were: 24- Dane Auckafolau, 2 - Kytak Chan, 4 - Noel Auckafolau, 7- Alex Seve, 10 - ???, 12 - Josh Curran, 16 Filia Utoikamanu.

Good hit out from the older boys, didn't recognise too many faces.

I'm keen to know of any new signings into SG Ball and NYC.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Anyone heard anything for the NYC? Whether it be internal promotions or external signings, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR NYC SQUAD?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I've been interrogating the club's official Twitter account but they've been ignoring me. They're not silly.

I was told by Nathan Cayless last Thursday that there will be trials for the 14's right through to the 18's at the Old Saleyards on Saturday the 12th of Deceber starting at 11am. Hopefully more details come out about it.

http://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2015/12/03/gallery_district_rep.html I can pick out a few familiar faces:
2. Travis Turnbull
7. PJ Vaigalu (white shirt)
10. Jesse Cronin (white shirt)
16. Steve Dresler (white shirt, signed from Titans juniors)
18. Sean Keppie?
20. Tui Afualo (white shirt)

Gee that Tui Afualo is a handsome bloke. Looks like John Hopoate and Michael Buettner had a kid.

There must have been plenty of blokes that ran their mouths this year in the Harold Matthews in that case as Tui laid out quite a few blokes with some brutal shots.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Haha what is he, about 15? I'm probably older than his dad, but if someone chucked me the ball and Tui was defending in front of me I'd drop and play dead.
