Sat April 12, 2008 Source: www.parraeels.com.auParramatta remains undefeated and on top of the Toyota Cup ladder after scoring a 30-14 defeat of the Gold Coast in their round five encounter at Parramatta Stadium. The Eels were dealt two lucky breaks inside the first five minutes and found themselves suddenly leading 10 points to nil. Their first try came about after the kick off ricocheted off the head of a Titans player, resulting in a scrum feed to the Eels. One set later the home side scored wide out through winger Ben McLennan. Back in Titans territory soon after a Kris Keating grubber took a wicked bounce off the goal post pad and into the waiting arms of prop Tim Robinson, who then touched down. Tony Williams' conversion made it 10-nil to the Eels. The Titans hit back through a try to Siosaia Vave however two Keating tries in close succession made it 22-6 to the Eels at half time. A try to back rower David Baumann stretched the Eels lead even further after the break, seeing them lead by 24 points by the midpoint of the half. Two unconverted tries to winger Esi Tonga completed the scoring for the Titans while Williams added a penalty goal to see take the final score along to 20-14 in favour of the Eels. The Eels remain in the competition lead on nine points, and remain the only undefeated team in the Toyota Cup after five rounds.
