Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Forty20]

Good tackles from Bush and Izzard this set, taking down bigger men cleanly. French comfortably takes the attacking bomb once more but is hit hard by a vigorous kick chase. A coupleo f tackles later the Eels come up with an unforced error as they push the pass down their left edge coming out of the red zone. Might have been Izzard there.

Wests Tigers have an unexpected chance here and they capitalise as their lock forward crashes over via a flat ball right under the cross bar. Silly error costing the Eels 6 points there.

The conversion is successful.

Wests Tigers lead the Eels 6-0

11min gone.

 

[hineyrulz]

Soft defence, not much has changed by the looks.

 

[Forty20]

Awesome kickoff from Davis now. Tigers had NO clue where it was going and let it bounce dead in goals!

Parra will want to make the most of this opportunity.

Alex Twal takes the first charge and is followed by Tom Amone. Izzard brings the ball to Clay who then links up with French who makes a half break and is pulled down metres before the goal line. Parra then come down their left but the Tigers repel them.

Dockar-Clay grubbers on the last and hits the upright. The Eels regain possession but are tackled short of the line for at turnover. The ref fidns a penalty in there after the tackle. Not sure what for though.

 

[Forty20]

Tigers go close to scoring again, this time through some second phase ball but the Eels hold them up over the line.

Time off for a wounded Tiger by the looks of things.

 

[Delboy]

Obed Karhin is a Parra jumior, scored. 4 tries in a Ball trial and never got a call to come back

Went to an open trial at Tigers , rest is history, he is a great person and wish him all the very best

 

[hineyrulz]

French looks a talent.

 

[Forty20]

The ball comes out 10m for the resumption of play and the Tigers roll the ball into the in goals for a repeat set. The eels bat it dead but there must have been offside chasers as we come away with a penalty.

Twal and Markus make useful gains to get the Eels into the Tigers' half. French injects himself down the left beating two or three defenders as he steps back to the centrefield. Playing what is in front of him now as he chips for himself and earns a penalty for getting run of the ball.

Amone takes the first carry and Twal nearly scores on the next play. Clay has no choice to run against hugely offside defenders but there is no call.

On the next play French takes the ball down the left and kicks in behind. This one is damn close! Reimis Smith gets there first and slams the ball down but the touchy has ruled it touched the line! Gee that was very, very close.

20m restart ruled but Twal is challenging the call!

The call is upheld after a few looks and the Eels lose their challenge.

 

[hineyrulz]

Knocked on apparently.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice kick by Izzard and Smith goes in.

 

[hineyrulz]

f**king bullshit as usual.

 

[Forty20]

Parra defend solidly from the 7 tackle set and Miski shows a good set of hands to defuse another kick but he leaped from the field of play so it will be a line drop out.

Brandaon Raeli is on now for Tom Amone bu the looks of it.

Tui Oloapu cleans up a very poor pas from the Tigers and steals 30m! Good work from the young centre.

Twal makes another charge before French gets wrapped up chiming in down the left - one of the few times the Tigers have contained him.

Izzard puts a cute bomb up on the last and even though the Parra chasers are run off the ball, the black'n'gold custodian spills the ball! Reimis Smith says thank you as he laps it out and dives over for as easy as a try he will score.

Oh my, are the Tigers challenging the call? And some how they have over turned it! How? Will need some one watching the Fox coverage to explain that!

Oh for f**ks sakes! They are ruling that Davis took out a defender? Hot damn that is an awful call.

 

[Delboy]

What a rubbish decision, fmd it so politically correct, can't touch anyone - hopeless video refs, just makes you wonder on their competence

 

[Forty20]

Small justice for the Eels as the Tigers make a mistake coming out of their half.

Parra pack down for a scrum feed on half way.

Fuimaono makes a good carry, as does Twal afterwards as Clay gits him with a nice short ball. ZDC then takes a run himself on the next play but on the fourth tackle French is wrapped up down the left.

Izzard nearly finds the in goals with his grubber and a good kick chase nearly nets a line drop out but the fullback, Alofi, just stays in play.

Parra quickly concede another penalty for infringing the 10m.

 

[hineyrulz]

Now a soft penalty, we never get a fair go in this grade.

 

[Forty20]

Poor defence from the Eels there. Twal made good first up contact but slips off the tackle allowing his opposite bookend to steam to the line. The Eels manage to prevent a burrow over from the next tackle but shortly after their fullback Sione Alofi scores down the left edge of the Eels by running the classic sweeper play.

Can't defend the defence there but that came on the back of the awful over turned try.

The conversion is unsuccessful.

Wests Tigers extend their lead to 10-0

26min gone.

 

[Forty20]

Another error from the Tigers on a kick off!

Davis sends it DEEP into the ingoals and although the half for the Tigers takes it he hops back a step or two and hits the dead ball line!

Tepu-Smith takes the first run from the drop out. Raeli follows.

The Eels go down their right and although Clay throws a terrible pass, French scoops it up and in a flash hits Miski with a cut out ball. Awesome work there. Miski pins his ears for the line is held up by some desperate defence.

Sloppy work following the 10m restart sees the Eels lose territory but an astute grubber from Clay nets us a second drop out.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We are getting smashed in the middle. Slow play-the-balls are putting plenty of pressure on our playmakers.

 

[hineyrulz]

Now it's a penalty, last time he checked Davis as well.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**king finally

 

[hineyrulz]

Bush!!!!

We have bush!! Take that one off us.
