SMH: Eels' Perenara prepares for a test against Johns

[Stagger eel]

As in Billy Ngawini? From what I saw from the Australian Presidents XIII v New Zealand A game, Billy Ngawini is one of the most talented young players I've ever seen.

As far as Marcus Perenara goes, it'll be interesting to see how he goes - a lot of good people over in Auckland have never really understood how Thomas Leuluai was preferred to him and how he never got a gig in the Warriors. The write ups on Marcus in Bartercard were quite outstanding.

he's certainly earned his spot in the top grade, it appears that we're looking at him as a backup hooker at the moment.

Welllll, all I have to say is he is a better lock/5/8 then he'll be at hooker.

marcus is going to prepare for the test by making a booking at the salon a fortnight prior so his hair is at perfect length for game day.

Marcus was selected for the Kiwis first tour to England for the Tri-Nations, though he didn't get a game. that was before he joined us.
