Parramatta Eels Holden Cup

[Kornstar]

I thought Mullaney looked slow last week, this fullback is about as fast as Weyman!

 

[Stagger eel]

It's now 38-14

 

[Forty20]

Penrith reply with two tries of their own and extend their lead to 38-14.

Holden Cup Trial - Match Review

Saturday 23 February 2013 4:33 PM

The Parramatta Eels produced glimpses of quality in their Holden Cup trial loss against the Penrith Panthers despite some atrocious conditions at Centrebet Stadium.

After both teams traded tries in the opening couple of minutes the Panthers made the most of a glut of possession, controlled the ball better in the wet and kicked out to a 28-6 lead at halftime.

The Eels looked sharper in the second period and fought their way back into the contest thanks to two tries to blockbusting centre John Folau, the younger brother of former international, Israel. Penrith then closed out the match 38-14 with a couple of late four-pointers.

It's the final tune up for the NYC team before they meet the New Zealand Warriors on March 9 at Parramatta Stadium.

I hope Fraser tears this comp apart this year. He has the potential to.

He needs to to drop some KFC/KGS

THEY SAY: "We're still a young team...they were thrown to the wolves a bit last year but I think everyone agrees they'll be better for it," coach Andrew Webster says. "Defence is the big issue. We want to be one of the best defensive sides."

PLAYER TO WATCH: "Junior Paulo has a good engine, he's strong and he's intelligent for a front-rower (Forty20: I swear, where is the respect for the front rowers!!). He's got great skills, good hands and a great attitude."

Anyone able to advise how Tepia Morea (sic) went in the U20s trials; I've seen this bloke over the years in age football where he was a standout, now he is getting closer to open age footy, I'm wondering how he is going?

He went well V the Panthers. Played out wide an made good runs/meters.

Where are they playing him, centre or backrow - I know there is very little difference these days?

I think he played abit of both mate, mainly backrow. Im not 100% sure it was him, but im pretty sure it was.

Gee Brasington is a bloody lanky bloke. Barely a muscle on him

 

[Chipmunk]

This 17 year old half back is amazing. Lock him up long term....NOW

 

[Joshuatheeel]

32 to 4

 

[Jake the snake]

Wow very impressed.

 

[eels_fan]

Best I've seen our U20s play in 2 yrs, and the Vulcans are no slouches...

The halfback looks the goods, and Vai Toutai & Folau great.

 

[muznik]

Woohoo....

Kids at friends, baby asleep and beer cold.

Wenty vs Mounties, Holden Cup,1st Grade ! Loving Super Saturday !!!

After what I thought was pathetic defence to let the Warriors in for the 1st try we have been on top. I must say this Warriors team seem pretty lazy & inept.

They keep mentioning the heat so take it that its a pretty warm one in Sydney?

Docker-Clay in again !!!!!

 

[natheel]

That docker-clay has a great step and good speed. Didn't see that last try coming.
