Man of the Match: Warriors v Eels, Round 17

The Parramatta Eels came away with a 24-18 victory over the New Zealand Warriors at Central Coast Stadium on Sunday 6 September in Round 17 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.

Following the clash, we encouraged the Blue & Gold Army to vote for their 'My Muscle Chef' Man of the Match and after more than 1,700 votes, Eels captain and fullback Clint Gutherson polled over 37% to claim this week's award!

Clint Gutherson once again led the way with the most run metres, finishing with 241 from 23 runs, Blake Ferguson had 203m whilst forwards Nathan Brown (192m, 41 tackles), Ryan Matterson (158m, 43 tackles), Reagan Campbell-Gillard (160m, 25 tackles) and Junior Paulo (181m, 30) were strong in the middle of the park.

The Eels scored four tries to the Warriors three, with birthday boy Jai Field celebrating a four pointer, winger Blake Ferguson scoring his first for the year and Maika Sivo and Waqa Blake crossing for their own tries out wide.=
