Parramatta Eels Holden Cup

[strider]

supposedly the knights are the 2nd best defensive team (statistically) in the NYC - says something about the NYC

 

[Forty20]

Knights in down the wing. Tuitahi makes the misread there.

Knights trail 42-16 KTC

*Edit* Smith pushes it wide.

Parra lead 42-16

 

[Stagger eel]

ASDA would have to be in the dressing room right now waiting for them, easily the best performance all year so far..

 

[Forty20]

Good scrambling defence on the last after some poor ruck defence. We will ruck it out from out from 10m

The defence in NYC is terrible.

[Forty20]

Ualesi is pinged for dropping the ball...Knights will have it from our 40m line

 

[Forty20]

Good set of defence but the Knights butcher a big overlap and we get the ball back.

 

[Forty20]

Pepa gets the ball stripped in questionable circumstances after a good carry.

Gotta give massive props to Semi and Masinamua here...as Semi gets mistakenly pinged for a knock on.

 

[strider]

seems the touch judges are just as blind in NYC as NRL

 

[Forty20]

Once again some great defence on the last tackle. Despite a few 50/50 errors the boys are putting in the hard yards this week.

 

[Suitman]

Hasn't Chris Anderson and Ray Price made a difference!!

[Forty20]

Some ordinary kick options in the last few sets. The latest one leads to a Knight's penalty as the debutante McGill is pinged for a flop.

Fortunately the Knights give up possession almost immediately.

 

[Forty20]

Semi is caught offside but on replay it was questionable. If he wasn't pinged we would have had possession on the Knight's 40m

 

[Forty20]

Newcastle go in off a simple inside pass (Which was probably forward)

We lead 42-22

 

[Forty20]

It must be said that the fact that De La Saras is reffing these kids (let alone the NRL!) is f**king criminal. Both teams have copped seriously bad decisions throughout the game.

The state of refereeing in our game is beyond horrendous. Will the commission be able to fix it?

*Edit* We have put the cue in the rack. Knights are in again.

We lead 42-28

 

[Forty20]

Full Time Parra 42 -df- Newcastle 28

MotM is probably Semi, although Masinamua is hot on his heels.

 

[Suitman]

I must say, besides a few early and late lapses in defence, we completely dominated a team that smashed us earlier in the season.
That was a truly passionate performance on the whole.
I was in Newcastle earlier this season to see our mobbed totally embarressed.
Great turn around boys. Terrific effort.
Confidence.

If anyone reckons Kearney is telling his sides not to offload should watch this game - some of the best offloads I have seen from an eels side since 2009

 

[hineyrulz]

Semi how good is he??? Fraser is a beast and totally owned them.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Who was no. 10 good size and went ok
