Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Forty20]

Another kick off error now for Parra - the biggest blemishes in a great effort thus far - as the receiver slips over.

Wests get their first chance to reply in some time. After some sluggish ball movement down their right they come up with yet another error on the left edge movement.

Poor footy from the Tigers.

Nice dummy dart for Parra more ball play around the ruck threatens to open Wests up again.

Davis (who looks huge) chimes in down the right and looks to have helped create another try. He finds Fuimaono who takes two men in with a Gidley-esque flick to #18. Was a try for all money but #18 loses the ball over the line!

 

[Forty20]

First attacking kick for the Tigers in ages and they go for the bomb but it is superbly taken by the Eels left winger, Gafa (??).

Simple set for Parra that is completed with another kick from Davis, massive involvement from him so far.

 

[Forty20]

Kick return for #18 now as Parra get the ball for another set. Some one out stuff before Bush takes a dart but ntohing too dangerous.

Doolan finishes the set off with another bomb and their is a vigorous chase from 3 Eels. The first chaser arrives too early though and just clips the Tigers' fullback before he finds the ground with his feet.

They looked to have failed to find touch now - litany of errors today!

Parra score from the unexpected set thanks to an absolutely brutal fend from Fuimaono who simply monsters off the right centre for Wests to sned #18 over!

That was primal.

Parra lead Wests 28-4

 

[Forty20]

Not sure what happened there but Wests come away with the ball on halfway after the Eels look to spin it down their left.

Nothing comes from it though as the half time siren rings out shortly after.

One way traffic so far as Parra leads Wests 28-4

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

This is atrocious. Spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors galore. I don't know how you have the nerve to publish this stuff. Would it kill you to put some effort in?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Much appreciated Forty20. It's awesome to have footy back on.

 

[Forty20]

Second half underway now as Parra kick off again by virtue of the quarter system.

Looks like French is back on to handle the kicking duties.

Lussick and Twal make the first tackle of the half as Wests roll it out.

They end up 10m into Parra's half before bombing French. Big mistake there as a scything run from Bevan takes Parra back into the Tigers' half!

French is the man again a few tackles later as the injects himself in the down left and throws a pin point pass to Atini Gafa!

That set was all French.

30-4 for the Eels now.

 

[Tommy Coco]

Time to hype up Twal, Fui and French...love it!

 

[Forty20]

Izzard uses Raeli from the kick off and he goes on a bullish charge. Good strength. Wait is Raeli wearing the #8 now? Some confusing stuff happening out there, happy to be corrected by anyone else at the game.

Anyway, error from the Eels now so Wests get a rare chance to attack.

 

[Forty20]

Scratch that! Another soft mistake from the Tigers sees Parra with possession.

Good run from Miski and TwalRaeli makes another powerful run in his wake.

Parra look for a cross field attacking kick, right to left, and although they do not score it does force another error.

Scrum to the Eels, 10m from the Tigers' goal line.

And that was way too easy, hands and speed see the Eels cross down their right. Carnage all over the park for Wests.

34-4 for Parra

 

[Gazzamatta]

Was it 2 years ago, Stagger predicted Bevan French was the kid who would eventually take Haynes place? A huge call but it appears the kid is a special talent even at such an early stage.

 

[Forty20]

They have definitely changed jerseys at half time as they #4 is no longer occupied by Davis. Thanks a lot Parra. :/

In fact it looks like French is in the #6 and someone else in the #1. This is not as easy job, folks.

Anyway, chalk up another try for Gafa - IF IT IS HIM WEARING THE #5. Nice left edge movement that Wests had no answer for.

38-4 for the Eels.

Ta. Looking forward to seeing him live.

 

[Forty20]

First quiet run of play for a while.

Wests pick up a penalty and actually construct some decent attacking footy.

No reward for them though as their grubber kick is trapped and fielded at the defensive line.

Really good run from Miski takes Parra away from the red zone and the ruck it out to halfway before Izzard sends up a shortish bomb. The Parra chasers get their first with the right winger, who shimmies and passes to his centre (#3) for another meat pie.

Not sure what the go is for the time in the game with the ground announcer saying there is 5min left in the game.

Parra lead 42-4

 

[Forty20]

Eager efforts all over the park for Parra as they practically line up for a run.

A Wests player has been left on the ground after heavy contact in a tackle and Parra complete their set with a terrific kick chase.

Nary 30m for the Tigers this set as Parra continue to swarm but they finally drag the foot from the throat with an astute kick that finds touch near Parra's 20m line.

 

[Delboy]

Forty , Abbas Miski is wearing 5 on the second half, think he's scored 2 meat pies on this side of the field

 

[Gazzamatta]

No goals. Gotta be 44 to 4.
