NZ Warriors Thrash Parramatta Eels – Round 17 – NRL 2010
The Warriors win their 3rd game in a row for the first time since 2008. Jerome Ropati had an awesome game. The NRL website says he gained 275 metres throughout the match. Filling in as fullback due to an injury to Lance Hohaia, Ropati caused all sorts of havoc for the Parramatta defence on another cold, rainy game-day. Ukuma Ta’ai and Lewis Brown had really good games too, as did the halves, James Maloney and Isaac Johns. The scores were close right up until the 60th minute with the Warriors holding a slim, 12 -- 6 lead but Parra gave up and the Warriors ran away with it, winning 35-6 in the end.
