NSWRL U21 Jersey Flegg - Round 6

v Parramatta, 3:30pm [BAR TV]

LOSS 4-30

Late Changes - Lua and H.Rooke are out. Vaitu'ua starts second row, Geary at lock, Saumaki on the bench. Felsch is the concussion sub. It was a difficult outing for the Jersey Flegg Cup side, who went down 30-4 to the Eels at the James Hardie Centre of Excellence. Early in the game Geary was sent to the sin bin for a late tackle. Parramatta scored soon after. Play temporarily stopped while the automated sprinklers were addressed in the South Sydney in goal area. When play restarted after the disruption, Parramatta scored again on the right. Parramatta were in for their third try of the afternoon when they worked they way down field and scored when they took on the line on the left. In a dominate first half Parramatta lead 0 to 16. South Sydney kickoff looking into a low setting sun. South Sydney fail to find touch from a penalty. Parramatta work their way down field and opened the scoring in the second half when they spread the ball and scored in the corner. After a mountain of possession Parrmatta finally found a gap and scored in the corner. Late in the match after a South Sydney regathered from a short kick off, Poyton chimmed into the line and scored out wide. Poynton failed to convert. But Parramatta had the final play of the game working their way up field and scoring once again out wide to win the game in dominant fashion 4 to 30. The Rabbitohs found it hard to generate consistent attacking momentum against a well-organised Eels outfit.
