Basan is playing for Barrow Raiders in the UK this season. He is too old for Flegg and has accepted an offer to play overseas.

as well as the first 40 minutes which Parra won 16-6 against Balmain, as strider said we played the Magpies in 2 x 20 minute halves and winning 10-0 in a game in which we mainly played our Jersey Flegg side.

sides were as follows

Team 1 V Balmain [They did have Galloway, Harris and a few other first graders there]

Simon Micallef - Played very well, attacked the ball and ran with venom, will only improve

Kris Inu - he was the kicker in pl

Timana Tahu - had a slow start but got going later in the half to have a good match, was well checked by his opposing centre.

Ash Graham - I thought played well, may of picked up some speed in the off season.

Eric Grothe - bit rusty but like T he got going later in the half. him and T played on the left.

Blake Green - ok but nothing spectacular.

Jeremy Smith - very poor game sluggish in attack his dellivery was non existant, he's definitely a better player than that.

Glen Morrison - ok

Fui Fui Moi Moi - our best player, absolutely terrorised the defence.

Brendon Oak - kept a low key.

Justin Tsolous - see Oaky

PJ Marsh - looked very sharp in attack and constantly had the defence at the centre of the ruck in a bit of a panic when ever he ran.

Nathan Cayless - ripped in, got very involved including attack.

Team 2 beat Wests 10-0.

Iwi Hauraki - made a couple of errors but extremely quick running the ball back, more a winger imo.

Josh Davis - may have only touched the ball twice, not much involvement at all.

David Williams/ Ben Farrer [centres] - very solid.

Etuate Uaisele - signed from St George looks like a bit of a powerhouse on the wing, a genuine crowd pleaser.

Feleti Mateo - Brilliant, kicked and passed like there was no tomorrow, the only problem was he wasn't keen to take the game by the scruff of the neck and held back on occasions but from what I saw, he could have a magic year.

Jonathon Taviner - did well, nothing flash.

Aaron Dalton - not sighted

Valu Nassio - scored both our trys, probably our best forward on the field.

Aaron Wood - nothing flash

Junior To'o - massive kid, put on some big hits.

Kurt Sorenson - May of found his niche at hooker, played well.

Aukuso Paulo [Junior] - lost alot of weight, played well but faulted towards the end of the half.

Tony Paramatangi - looks very solid, played centre when he came on, shot out of the line a couple of times to make some big hits.

John Frith - ok

Walter Vaeau - not really sighted.

Ben Taia - not really sighted.

Ray Nasso - played very well, may of cemented his spot in the sqaud for flegg.

Tidbits.

* Jim Storer will be out for the 4 weeks of the comp, he broke same arm on the same spot, it was apparently a training accident.

* Joel Reddy, Paul Stringer, John Morris, Nathan Hindmarsh and Mick Vella were all there no word on their injuries.

anyone want to add a few other things I may of left out please do so.

Parramatta are doing very well, and are definately showing that they are the team to beat as long as injuries don't start going up in first grade.
