Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Forty20]

Good run from Tom Amone, still no penalty. Markus makes healthy gains as well. Another half break down our right but again Miski hasn't got the pace.

With little else to do in the midfield Doolan bomb it on the last. The Storm let it bounce and fortune favours them. It breaks back to the Eels but picks out the one plodding forward to earn the ball back.

The Storm run it out to bring an end to a frenetic game.

Full Time

Melbourne Storm 34 DEF Parramatta Eels 32

Terrific second half effort but we gave up way too much to the Storm. Holy shit the ref was abysmal though and definitely had a huge bearing on the result.a

 

[Kornstar]

Our last 2 sets should have seen us get at least 3 penalties and we got none. This red refused to give us a penalty.

So pretty much the cheats are allowed to throw forward passes and lay all over the play the ball in whatever grade they wear the cheat colours it appears.

 

[Noise]

We are shit in all three grades. So depressing.

I thought Aloiai was strong in his return game, he ran strongly and was hitting hard in defence. We're massively lacking a dummy half, would definitely be looking at putting Dockar-Clay back to dummy half for the NYC with both Doolan and Dargan starting in the halves. Neither Izzard or Bush are NYC standard.

Miski just hasn't been providing much either, he never backs himself with space in front of him. He usually runs 5 metres before heading back in, would much rather see Pene or Oloapu back there.

Two more debutantes this week. We are really burning through them at the moment.

Suli is a big winger, not sure on how fast he motors but we will find out his weekend. Layoun is more at home at fullback or even centre but played very well in an injury disrupted SG Ball season. Might even see him swap around with either Gafa or Davis at some points in the game.

 

[Stagger eel]

Davis at 1 is an awful choice....

Why not put Layoun there ??

Oh dear god

 

[hineyrulz]

Sounds like we have no idea no matter what the grade.

Would be better if we did play Layoun at fullback with Davis at centre and Gafa on the wing. We may still see that.

Really. There may be changes before kickoff and also may happen during the game.

Is holden cup televised?

Yep

Under 20s is a waste of time. It's not about having the best players, it's just about having the biggest players - look at us last year.

No wonder they're getting rid of it.

 

[Jake the snake]

The coach of the under 20s needs to go. They don't look they are coached.

Seems to be a theme across the club at the moment unfortunately........

 

[EelsFan05]

Davis is no fullback. Lazy lazy lazy

 

[natheel]

We can't even get a captains challenge right! Such a mess

 

[Kornstar]

Typical of the refs in this grade. In goal touchy was right on top of Davis and he misses the call, what a f**king disgrace these refs are to the game!

We are a really shit team but fmd it makes it hard to support this code. That was a simple call to get right.

They could have even called it a try and let the Warriors challenge it if it was wrong.

Bit strange seeing Parra fielding an under performing junior side.

They do have a big nursery,so what has happened to their retention?
