Another good performance by the baby Eels to put the bunnies away. Moving us up into the top 8. Some good performances worth a mention. Lumelume scored 2 tries, ran for 158m with 17 runs, 66m post contact. only missed 1 tackle. On the other side poor Dunster had a terrible day at the office making 6 tackles with 4 misses and 1 ineffective, running for 66m.
This week in first grade with our pack in all sorts of problems with Lane / Davey / RCG / Matterson all possibly out of action. Its worthy to note that young Jaydon Yates played very well out of lock, 63 minutes game time, scoring a try, running for 127m, 12 hitups, making 35 tackles missing 2. Kye Rodwell playing prop stood up and had a decent game as well, 60 minutes, 134m - 43 post contact, making 41 tackles missing only 1.
Jake Arthur again proved too good for the Rabbits taking control with 279 kicking metres, 16 tackles 0 missed, 1 try assist, 1 try. There is some merit in him transitioning to a ball playing second rower one day, with some muscle covering his frame.
Young Meni Luke only playing his 5th NSW cup game for the Eels was also a pick of the bunch, running for 113m - 102m from dummy half, with a try assist, a line break assist to go with his 46 tackles, 3 missed.

Looking at the highlights all the tries essentially all came off a kick in some way.
3 of our trys were not really off kicks even though one of them a kick was involved before it was spread through the hands, for Lume lume try.
Arthurs chip over the top for a regather and try was special, as was a lot of his kicking for the other trys.
Lume lume also lined up in the centres for us, and was impressive.
This year he has certainly started to play better, "played for Italy in the world cup as well". Im not sure if they know "coaches" his best position yet having played Lock, second row, off the bench and as a prop this year. A real development year for him in this regard.
Was 19th man last weekend so getting closer.
True dat.
I say Rodwell and Morroti be picked this week
I still think Lumelume should get a shot at 1st grade but in saying that, Russell had a good game against the bunnies.
anyone know how jontay and jock went?
Jontay got 20 minutes off the bench 6 runs for 49m made 14 tackles with 0miss. No mistakes and no errors. Nice and steady.
Jock Brazel got 18 minutes off the bench 3 runs for 23m made 9 tackles with 0 misses. No mistakes or Errors either.
Both played well for minimum minutes.
Jontay and Jock next year should be where Moretti is this year.
Very much expecting Luca to play this week and impress. Very excited for him.
