The Parramatta Eels have reigned supreme 74-4 over the Cronulla Sharks amid extreme controversy at Parramatta Stadium this evening.
Referee Shayne Hayne sent two Sharks players from the field for different reasons including captain David Peachey for dissent and also sent Danny Nutley to the sin bin for ten minutes and the Eels went on a try scoring rampage, bagging 14 in total with five to Jamie Lyon.
The first 30 minutes of the match were fairly evenly contested but just before half time the signs were there that the game was about to erupt with some spite and niggle coming into the match. Not long after half time the inevitable happened and the match exploded with David Peachey sent off and then Dale Newton followed soon after.
Jamie Lyon sets a club record with five tries and the Eels set a record for their biggest ever win since their inception in 1947.
Parramatta 74 (J.Lyon 5, A.Graham 2, J.Moodie, D.Vaealiki, M.Petersen, L.Hopkins, J.Morris, N.Cayless, J.Webster tries, A.Dykes 5, M.Witt 4 goals) defeated Cronulla 4 (P.Gallen try). Referee: S.Hayne. Crowd: 7,050.
