Immaculate weather at Ringrose Park today as our Holden Cup team takes on the Raiders. The Eels are bolstered by the returns of Ryan Matterson and Kaysa Pritchard and will be looking to keep in touch with the Newcastle Knights at the top of the ladder.
Stay tuned for any changes to the team.

It doesn't look like they are making a Late Mail post on the Parra website but I could see #20 and #23 warming up on the upper field at Ringrose.
Okay so no official changes.
Fuimaono has gone back to the bench while I believe #23 is Folau. No idea yet on #20.
Parra receive the kick off and begin rucking it out. Muna brings up the last on halfway before Clay stabs a kick downfield. A good kick chase from the Eels traps the Canberra fullback before he makes too many metres.
The Raiders work the ball down Parra's left edge and send a bomb up on the last. Lavaka comes in towards the posts easily.
Parra strike first as Leva Li scythes through some defenders up the middle and strides 80m down field to score under the posts! Superb run from the winger!
The conversion is successful from Davis.

for fuck sakes - delete the "re-posts"
What the hell going on

Sorry guys..not sure what has happened. I will delete everything and repost the actual updates.
#23 IS Folau while #20 is Eric Newbigging.
Both teams trade possession after the kickoff through some poor handling but the Eels come away with the ball in the end.
Folau hits the ball up from th scrum and is followed by Newbigging. The Eels spin it to the left where Davis is well taken before Kaufusi makes half a break down the middle. From the resulting quick play the ball the Eels come down their right edge where Dockar-Clay opts to run against the sliding defence. He cuts through some poor attempted tackles and brings the ball back around to the right upright. All Parra at the moment, but as we know, that doesn't mean much in the NYC.
The conversion is successful.

Parra makes early metres via Kaufausi who takes another strong charge. Matterson looks to catch the Raiders out down the left edge on the next play but they contain Davis nciely. The Eels then work it to their right for the kick, which comes from ZDC. He sends a bomb up that fall just short of the goal line. A terrific chase and tackle from Kaysa pins the visitors on the goal line.
The Eels surge in defence this set. Great line speed restricts the Raiders and Lavaka comfortable takes their kick and grabs a cheap 15m to start the set.
The home team picks up a penalty late in the set as a marker takes an intercept from Dockar-Clay's dummy half pass. He was never straight and the ref pinged him for it.
The Eels find touch in the Canberra red zone and a couple of tackles into the fresh set they crash over as Matterson puts Muna into a massive gap near the up rights. Nothing fancy in that four-pointer but we will take it.
The conversion is successful.

Nice work from Matterson from the kick off as he takes a difficult kick and then hits the ball up. Kaufusi continues to work hard up the middle. Markus makes half a break after Kaufusi's charge and the Eels look to capitalise on it as Matterson frees up Davis down the left edge. Davis beats his opposite and weaves inside the cover defence before offloading to Kaysa. Pritchard tries to beat the last defender by stepping to the left but loses the ball in the brief contact with the try line begging.
The Raiders then pick up a penalty that takes them up to half way.
