OFFICIAL Harold Matthews Cup

[Vicious]

It looks like Balmain will be a little bit outclassed by a very good Eels team, but there is definitely some talent within this Balmain team.
They have a lot of willing forwards and I’m particularly impressed with 5/8 Matteo and fullback Thomas Aroyan.
Their right edge defence was a problem.

22–8 to the Eels. Tough loss too many blown chances, poor execution, and some very questionable calls from the ref.

Balmains outside backs just came compete with Parra. Our are jo frills small tryers, they have size pace and skill that we can't match.
Our spine has been poor, hooker Levi has been very poor. Slow service and nearly always giving the ball to the wrong player.
Even at the end Parra dropped the ball and one of our dumbasses runs up and pushes their player to the ground. Absolutely moronic crap to concede a penalty like that. He'd be given a week's suspension by me if I were coach

They matched a very good team for a large portion of the game.
If they continue to play with that commitment they will win their fair share of games.
The Eels lock Hayden Bell is as good as any young forward I’ve seen play Harold Matthews, looks an exceptional talent and they minimised his danger for a large part of the game.

He was excellent

But again my point is we just accept that Parra have these fantastic teams and are much better than us. We should be as good as them but talent wise we're not even close. Why is that acceptable?

I reckon if we combined the best of Wests Magpies and Balmain Harold Matthews teams we would be better than them.

How’d the Parra left centre, Lorima Seuseu go?
He is a gun 👍

They played him at fullback and wasn't sighted much
