[Stagger eel]

out of that sqaud Mahana Tai and joe Delana were 2 kids they held high hopes for.

 

[Morenito]

What happened to them?

Look at how far some of those kids have gone.

Like Kane Cleal! All the way to Souths via Manly! What a dream career! lol:lol:

 

[Hurriflatch]

Delana is still going around in the Souths Flegg team (as of 2005 at least) was more used on the wing and centre for Parra but has found his way to halfback at Souths.

Tai I saw listed in one of the emerging Nations sides (Tonga I think) a year or two ago.

That is a pretty good side.

John Russell and Michael Harper are both in the North Sydney Premier League side.

Brett Law, Mahana Tai and Bryce Poisel played Jersey Flegg with the Bears in 2004 (along with Russell). I think Tai played A-Grade with Narraweena last year and Poisel played some Jim Beam Cup before going to play in Group 6. Brett Law has been in the Bears Premier League train-on squad in 05 and for 06 but ended up playing Jim Beam Cup for Asquith in 2005 and i guess he probably will again this year.

I believe Joe Delana has signed with Northern Suburbs Rugby Union after he was at the Rabbitohs last year.

I'd say so cause he went to the same school as Mateo that year.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Ash Graham in SG Ball side that year and then later played first grade, thats how good he was back then.

Joey is a talented footballer..... Tim Smith may well have played for another club had Joey realised his talent.

Joe Delana:

Australian school boys touch football, made the aussi school boys league team in either 11 or 12 not to sure, got the axe from parra, went to souths.
