Parramatta Eels Holden Cup & Junior Reps Thread Part III

[Forty20]

Full Time

QLD 10 DEF NSW 6

Turnbull and Afualo arguably the best for their respective states.

Turnbull's try was a good fullback's try.

Was also very impressed with Josh Curran, he was an absolute beast on the left side, connecting with Seve a few times. He ran strongly and was always looking to get the offload away a few times. NSW needed to get more ball to the right hand side of the field to Afualo, every time he ran the ball he was making ground and was one of the only players to look like he was troubling the QLD defence.

Turnbull's try was a good fullback's try.

If he replaces anyone it will be Norman in a few years, his kicking game is too good and he'd be wasted at fullback imo.

Oh yeah definitely. I was only joking about the Hayne part, was looking at the Hayne being replaced on the Rumours thread and just mentioned it here. Can't wait to see a spine of French, Turnbull, Dargan, Peats in 5 years time.

You don't see Foran lasting/extending with us? Or you think he'll transition to an undersized lock?

Well in 5 years time that Spine will still be younger and less experienced than the current Tigers Spine.

He possibly could. All depends how his hamstrings hold up. We've got too many good forwards for the need to transition Foran there, so that isn't an option. Maybe an option could be Turnbull at centre, he's quick enough atm.

Out: Dargan and Muna
In: Doolan and Field (both onto the bench)

Izzard starts at left half, Tonise comes into hooker, Morris starts at edge forward.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

22 to nil panthers up

Gee.... Maybe they have better juniors than us? Realy with Aliaoi - twal-french-Davis all in that side we should be putting up a good fight.

 

[hineyrulz]

Awesome in all grades.

 

[Jake the snake]

[Noise]

Things are looking good for the future.

Not by much. In 2011 we finished 12th and 2012 we finished 2nd last.
