Parramatta Eels Juniors

[Cumberland Eel]

And it doesn’t take long for our 2 Australian Schoolboys to cause more pain for Illawarra! This time Bamblett looks long but plays short to a rampaging Petrus who carries multiple defenders to score. Conversion successful.

Eels 12 - 6 after 17mins.

 

[JokerEel]

He called that leg lift well done Mr ref!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Petrus earns another penalty with a charge. Parra go on the attack again.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Fletcher earns us a line dropout with a nice shallow grubber.

 

[JokerEel]

Steelers tried to do a sneaky take the player off before he could be sent to the bin..

 

[Cumberland Eel]

And Parra extend their lead this time through Billy Fanene who crashed over after a neat pass from Jireh Trey Steward. Big run and quick PTB from Michael Nuaer set it all up. The teams come together again for some more expletives and the ref issues warnings to both sides. Wait hang on he’s binned a Steeler too! Fletcher converts once again.

Eels 18 - 6 after 23mins.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Ah opportunity lost here as we break down the left edge after nice work again from Petrus but Bloomfield neglects to pass inside only to be bundled into touch.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Great awareness from Rokosuka to get a one on one strip just on half way. It’s now compounded by a penalty - gotta put them to the sword here!

 

[Cumberland Eel]

And Steelers just hold! Looks like Bamblett has put Petrus over but he’s dropped it over the line.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Dumb stuff the Eels here as they get pinged for a scrum penalty then compound it with back chat. Really dumb especially just before half time.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Another penalty now for a high tackle will put Steelers right on our tryline. And they’ve scored! Went straight through Bamblett, Petrus and Davis. What a waste of the binning. Conversion successful.

Eels 18 - 12 34mins gone.

 

[JokerEel]

We are such a better side but we just lack the concentration.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

And that’s half time now. Eels up 18 -12 but they haven’t played well today at all! Need a big bake from the coach.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

And we have kick off for the second half.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Steelers have got a 40/20 at the end of the first set - fantastic kick! Luckily for us they squander it with a forward pass. Eels to work it off from their 10m line.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Nauer drops it in the tackle - we’ll be under the pump once more.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

It looks like we’ve repelled them but Davis coughs it up trying to spin away from the tackle. Gotta hold firm here.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

6 again on the last ffs!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Boom.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

Great defence to turn them away again! Fletcher done really well to clean up a dangerous grubber.
