Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Tony Bongo]

What a difference completing our sets makes.....then they have the ball stripped

 

[Forty20]

Twal is sent towards the defensive line from the drop out. Matterson down the left with the short ball to Tanginoa, who is now on the edges.

Junior Mauala has as an offload to Lussick but Lisone comes up with the one on one strip on the rake.

Huge play there.

 

[Forty20]

Simple set for the Warriors as they get to their kick and find Li down in the Parra red zone.

Lavaka is swarmed on the 3rd tackle and driven backwards. Lussick looks for a 40/20 on the fourth tackle but Lolohea is well positioned to cut the rolling ball off.

Oooh, that looked like a fist! Goodall has copped it there but there is no reaction from the refs!

And now the Warriors create some space down their left edge. It is all happening here! Nice interchange of passes but the inside pass is dropped!

 

[T.S Quint]

Parra asleep to the offload.
Luckily the pass at the end goes to ground.

 

[T.S Quint]

Lavaka try!

 

[Bazal]

Lavaka reminds me a little of Daniel Tupou

 

[Forty20]

Nice movement there from the scrum win as Li and Goodall steal a good 30m down the left.

Parra on the attack now. Now we have a right edge shift as Clay finds Fuimaono, who is in turn taken very well.

Aloiai centres the ball before finding Lussick who continues to head towards the posts. He is eventually tackled but from there the Clay looks for his aerial weapon in Lavaka. The kick is on point and Lavaka is happy to oblige his half and rack up his 27th try of the year!

LET'S GONE EELS!

The conversion is unsuccessful.

Parra trail NZ 14-19

55min gone.

 

[T.S Quint]

These missed goals may come back to hurt us.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Tupou scored f**k all tries in his last year of NYC. Probably because Marmin Barba was hogging the ball.

 

[T.S Quint]

This can't be a try surely.

 

[Kornstar]

This is a different team!

 

[Lemon Squash]

Kimmorley is a gibberer of the highest order

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Knock on Davis, fo sho.

 

[T.S Quint]

Yeah Davis has knocked on.
Would have been better not scoring.

 

[hindy111]

Do they have video refs like first grade?

 

[Forty20]

Consecutive catches for Clay. IT IS HAPPENING FOLKS!

Lavaka unlucky not to draw a penalty there. He is followed by Tanginoa with another typically strong carry.

Aloiai continues to surge up the middle and finds another offload!

OH MY HERE WE GO!

Clay sends the ball up on the last. The Warriors lose it backwards where it is picked up by Lavaka who then offload. The ball hits the grass and there is a suggestion of a knock on but Davis scoops it up and beats a few men to score!

Up stairs we go with a try as the ruling!

Terse stuff as the replays roll on. Davis might have knocked on in the original contest of the ball.

We have a no try as Davis is ruled to have knocked on in the first contest.

Fair call.

 

[T.S Quint]

Davis would have known he knocked on.
Why did he go over to score then? Should have taken the tackle and gotten away with it.
Idiot.

 

[T.S Quint]

Not the best set there.
Warriors will start their set on half way.

 

[Forty20]

Good stuff from the Warriors early in their set as the power over halfway. Oh dear, Aloiai is in trouble here...

The Warriors bomb it on the last but Davis takes it with ease.

Good run from Lussick as he takes advantage of the absent markers to pinch some important metres.

The Eels come down their right on the fourth tackle as Folau flicks the ball to Lavaka who is quickly swarmed.

Clay's kick is eaten up on the last and the Warriors get some impetus from a great kick return.

Aloiai seems to be alright as the Eels gain possession from a forward pass against the Warriors.

 

[T.S Quint]

Warriors forward pass.
Eels scrum feed.
