Parramatta Eels Juniors

Any relation to Mick?

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Eels win 32-24. Fonua 2, Cronin, Aukafolau, Brown, Clifford tries Brown 4/6 goals. Good win for team as mounties seem a fair side this year and ran us down when we played in round 6.

Any relation to Mick?

Not 100% but I don't believe he is mate. It's good to see that surname in an eels team list though!

Any relation to Mick?

No not at all

Jesse Cronin & family are from Maitland. Its a fair question that is commonly asked.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No I meant John Fonua

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Cronin has 2 sons who are pretty bloody good country footballers. One was in the dragons squad under Bennett, he played in a charity shield match and then did a knee injury at training and that was the end of his NRL career.

A nice bloke too. Met him at Micks Pub. A bit disillusioned by the big smoke I think. Had a go and good on him for that. Poured a nice beer too.

Good to see Dresler make it into the top 17 after being a reserve last week, a long recovery for the young man being injured in round 2 last year. That bench packs a lot of punch with 3 good middle forwards, it'll be interesting to see how many minutes each player gets as we have Keppie and Cronin starting who can both play very long minutes if needed, I'm sure as it's his first game back Dresler won't get many minutes.

Also good to see Vea Tapa on the reserves list, hope he makes it into the 17 soon if not the 13. And more and more SG Ball players are being named on the extended reserves.

Very good squad, even with 2 of our 3 best players, I like it

Obvious omissions are players injured.

Mahoney, Salmon, Kaufusi All playing Nsw cup.?

 

[Gronk]

Also with Parra chasing Knights full back / 5/8 Tex Hoy shall be an interesting one

I made a Freudian slip when I read the name Tex Hoy.

Yep, with Salmon on the extended bench for first grade.

Team list for today's Flegg game. Really weird lineup (especially worlds biggest halfback Salesi Fainga'a) gotta be a reshuffle for sure. Good luck to Steve Dresler in first game back quite some time and to William kei who debuts from SG ball. Will be a tough game without Brown calling the shots.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

HT score Eels up 26-10. Haze dunster 2, Stefano Utoikamanu, Jesss Cronin, Todd Sapienza tries Ayden Carling 2, Sapienza 1 goals.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

FT Eels win 46-14. Dunster 2, Utoikamanu 2, Cronin, Sapienza, Afualo, Vaigalu, Aukafolau tries Sapienza 3, Carling 2 goals.
Good win for the boys as it keeps us within one point of top four and gets the +/- up.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Anyone have any info on the new hooker Carling?
