On Sunday afternoon, the Parramatta Eels escaped a big scare when Mitchell Moses kicked a late field goal to earn a close 19-18 victory over the North Queensland Cowboys at CommBank Stadium.

The Cowboys, coached by Jason Ryles, seemed to be in control after Josh Addo-Carr scored two quick tries, giving them an 18-8 lead halfway through the match. However, the Cowboys, led by Coen Hess, fought back and tied the game at 18-18 in the 56th minute.

With Hess making a great 197-meter run, the Cowboys had the upper hand in the second half and looked set to win before Moses kicked a crucial 35-meter field goal with five minutes remaining.

Eels fans experienced more excitement when a try by Jake Clifford was overturned in the 80th minute because of a clear obstruction by Jeremiah Nanai.

This win was very important for the Eels, as they would have only been two points ahead of the Titans, who are last on the ladder, if they had lost. Now, they are ranked 13th with 20 points, moving ahead of both the Knights and the Cowboys.

After not performing well against the Sharks last week, the Cowboys came out strong and scored the first try with Jaxon Purdue. However, Addo-Carr took advantage of their weak defense to help the Eels lead 12-8 at halftime. A try by Will Penisini early in the second half increased their lead to 10.

Braidon Burns scored two tries in two minutes for Purdue, leveling the score with 25 minutes left. However, the Eels held their ground and secured the one-point win.

INJURIES/SUSPENSIONS

Coen Hess from the Cowboys played very aggressively against the Eels but got into trouble in the 7th minute when he was penalized for tackling Joash Papalii in a dangerous way. Since this was his third offense, he received a three-game suspension if he admits guilt. He will miss the rest of the season because the Cowboys don’t have any more games to play. If they appeal the decision and lose, Hess could be suspended for four games. “That tackle could really hurt someone. We need to put a stop to it,” said Michael Ennis on Fox League.

BIG HITS
Dylan Brown is not a Centre

Ryles shocked everyone this week by choosing Dylan Brown to play centre instead of the hurt Sean Russell. While the Eels ended up winning, this change didn’t work well because Brown only made nine runs for 77 yards. Maybe Ryles should have picked Bailey Simonsson, who wasn’t happy about being left out.

Kennedy not a Popular man in Parra

Everyone can agree that referee Liam Kennedy won’t be getting any holiday cards from Eels fans. The crowd was really upset with some questionable decisions he made in the first half. The worst one happened in the 20th minute when Kennedy gave Zac Laybutt an easy penalty for a play he thought J’maine Hopgood messed up, causing Hess to drop the ball. But when they looked at the replay, it seemed like it was just a bad hold on the ball. He also got a lot of heckling for not calling any penalties against the Cowboys for some iffy tackles during contested kicks.
