Sat March 29, 2008 Source: www.parraeels.com.auThe Pirtek Parramatta Eels have kept their undefeated Toyota Cup record alive, defeating the Newcastle Knights 18 points to 10 at Parramatta Stadium. For the third time in succession the Eels fought back from an early deficit to record what turned out a comfortable victory, the Knights joining the Bulldogs and Warriors as scalps for 2008. The Knights started strongly and hit the lead through an unconverted try to second rower Jason Schirnack after 15 minutes, however the Eels hit back ten minutes later through one of their own to Daniel Mortimer. Mortimer's try was converted by Tony Williams and the Eels had the lead at 6 points to 4. Their joy would be short lived however with replacement Byron Fruean scoring to put the Knights out to a 10-6 half time lead. The first half finished with the Eels on the attack and the second started in exactly the same fashion, a try to centre Taputoa Rea putting them back into the lead shortly after the resumption. From there they were never headed, a third try nine minutes from time to Mase Laulu Togagae putting the result beyond doubt as the Eels ran out 18 points to 10 winners.
