59′ PENALTY NEW ZEALAND
High tackle by Matagi on Kieran Foran. The Warriors will have the ball in good field position and need to strike back here.

58′ PARRAMATTA CONVERSION SUCCESSFUL- Clinton Gutherson
A great kick by Gutherson. He stretches the lead to more than 2 converted tries for the Eels and that should be enough for them to win this game tonight.

56′ TRY PARRAMATTA- Tepai Moeroa
The Eels willed themselves over the line for a try there. The Warriors look disinterested. They have been ill-disciplined and second-rate this half so far. It is almost game over for them in my opinion.

A ball strip against the Warriors on Beau Scott as he is close to the line and after the referee called held.

50′ PENALTY PARRAMATTA
Shaun Johnson is clearly offside on fifth tackle as he intercepts Will Smith’s pass.
The Eels will shoot for goal.

49′ PENALTY PARRAMATTA
Hand on the ball from Ryan Hoffman gifts the Eels a penalty on the half way. The pressure will be on New Zealand this set. The Eels will commence 15m from their try line

47′ The game has a good intensity to start the second half thus far. Both sides are getting quick play the balls. The Eels are making more metres than the Warriors at this stage.

45′ Isaac Luke makes another run from dummy half and plays in Kata. The set ends meekly for the Warriors. Radradra takes the first run for the Eels and receives a penalty for a strip.

41′ Shaun Johnson kicks out on the full at the end of the Warriors first set of the second half. Not a good start. Eels ball on half way.

HALF TIME
Parramatta 18 Tries: Auva’a, Hoffman, Radradra Goals: Gutherson (3/3)
New Zealand 12 Tries: Mannering, Maumalo Goals: Johnson (2/2)
A half that was littered with poor defensive reads. High scoring yes. High quality no.
Both of these sides have been dreadful in the second-half recently, so it will be interesting to see how this game pans out. The Eels have a few injury issues to contend with and that their diminished interchange may prove pivotal in the closing stages

33′ TRY PARRAMATTA- Semi Radradra
Unbelievable from the Warriors. Shaun Johnson gets nothing on his kick. It simply drops to the ground and it’s gathered up by the Eels and Gutherson passes to Radradra who is unstoppable in the open field.

62′ Shaun Johnson attempts to throw a one handed pass that is simply not on and Will Smith runs 60m, drops the ball and the Warriors will feed the scrum. Strange sequence.
