Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Kornstar]

Thanks Kornstar -Any standouts?

Aukofalou looks the goods. Twal has been strong and Jack Morris has given them plenty of trouble.

Dargan and Doolan have been doing well too.

Dargs is deadset owning this game it's been a dominant display so far

Watch out for this kid Dargan. Could fix up his short kicking game a little bit but what a difference he makes to this team.

Great first up effort. We've struggled in Holden Cup for years, (apart from 2014 I think). Hope the boys have a sensational year.

Good to get the result. While realizing that Penrith are the premiers in this grade and that we might not have been at full strength, we were VERY disappointing in that trial and so it is encouraging to be able to lift for the real thing. Hopefully we will continue to improve and be a real force in the competition.

I just had a look at the draw. I'm quite certain our only televised NYC game prior to the final six rounds (draw not yet released) is against Canberra in round 6. That sucks.

 

[Forty20]

SG Ball lost 26-25. Got jobbed by the referee as well.

I'm now at Ringrose for the Wenty game. Should be good.

Forty20 What is TCT.? To see full details

Google 'tct eels'

Ref hammered us in the ball with a sin bin for holding on for half a second too long and then an offside penalty in the final minutes.

Our team was poor in execution and enthusiasm early on. Hopefully we have our players back soon as our middle will be much stronger.

Steve Dresler will play 18's origin for NSW if fit.

any wrap on the game ?

We played like arse in the first half. Credit to the Bears, they showed up today and played with a ton of heart.

Gave up an eighteen point lead at 24-6 and absolutely copped it up the rear end from an awful ref. Got no help in the ruck or onside markers for the Bears and got reamed on the flip side - including the game winning penalty.

Still, we gave it an almighty shake. Went from that 24-6 margin to 25-24 ahead.

Steve Dresler continues to impress up front, shaping up to be a great pick up. Johnny Fonua made an awful mistake that lead to the first try but he rallied and was huge in the second half. Benny Valu was also very strong in the second half.

Worth noting that we were missing a whole heap of players today.

By my count the following were out of action:

• Sean Keppie ? Wrist/Hand (~3 weeks)
• Jesse Cronin ? Concussion (~4 weeks)
• Junior Fainga ? Shoulder (season)
• Tui Afualo ? ? (?)
• Haze Dunster ? ? (?)
• Alex Seve ? ? (?)
• Filia Utoikamanu ? ? (?)
