Parramatta Eels Juniors

It’s very exciting.

His a giant. Showed alot of strength & speed for a big fella.
How quick is he.
Ashame he couldnt and didnt do that for our SG Ball team this year

I reckon he's able to make those big runs because he's surrounded by better defenders, I haven't been able to watch the 20s recently but this could've been his best game and he was partnered with Keppie and Cronin who are both known for their work-rate. Also our 20s don't have the handling problems that our 18's did.

Our Flegg side narrowly leads the Warriors at half time: http://live.nswrl.com.au/match/bc58298b822b331e0/d75341bda2aab0e72

It's a somewhat weakened side, with Brown injured and a couple of their stars playing reserve grade. Does any merkin know what happened to Ethan Parry?

Shithouse second half. Conceded four tries and scored none. Ethan Parry would've saved the day.

Ankle surgery 2 years ago. Been causing him some issues since. So he had minor surgery to clean it out and is expected back the next few weeks.

Cheers mate. Do you know how long Dylan Brown is out?

 

[Cumberland Eel]

NSW win 16-10 with both Eels boys playing well. Big Stefano crashed over for the game winning try and Nohra was very safe and solid at the back. Was a pretty good game by both sides with end to end footy.

@Poupou Escobar I've heard brown had a minor hip injury and then had to have an abscess operated on after the last Mounties game. Unsure when he'll back but it shouldn't be an extended period.

Video of the try for those that didn't see it. Great leg drive and as soon as he got the ball he wanted to score, his previous run close to the line was similar pushing through multiple defenders and going close but ended up dropping it when attempting to ground it.

As Cumberland Eel noted both boys played well, unfortunately the game plan seemed to get the ball to Bronson Xerri as quick as possible, as much as possible which meant JP didn't touch the ball as much I hoped he would have. But he did position himself well in defence and in one case was the only player who could bring down a rampaging David Fifita on one particular run.

It appears that the video doesn't work this is a link to a tweet containing the video

He is a beast. Let's hope he has a better work ethic than the previous beast, Pauli Pauli

Or Kelepi Tanginoa...or Jacob Loko...or.....

These are the first of the crop coming through since changes were made to the junior programme after DA left. Stefano has a brother who is equally as talented and below these boys there appears to be the sort of talents that we have been searching for.

Don't forget Gus got to the Riff in 2011, this only started for us in the juniors 4 years ago, don't confuse the mistakes that have been made at NRL level in recruitment with what has occurred in development area. This started in the 14/15s , and are now coming through. Talent from outside our juniors have been added, if we are patient we will challenge the Riff in this area.

Fraser Masinamoa. The list is long.
I just dont get excited about these guys who dominate the juniors with their size.

Jacob Loko had the ability to be playing origin. Such a waste.

Has played a few games for Blacktown Workers in ISP this year.

 

[ALX25]

Utoikamanu was solid all night. Loved the physicality shown in all his runs.
Nohra has great positional play as a fullback, but felt his leg injury? got the better of him.

Yeah it wasn't playing ability that held him back. Injuries played a big part, but it was mostly attitude.

What changes?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hopefully Utoikamanu’s performance didn’t get him rewarded with a new contract from the Roosters.
