I believe he'll be at Wenty, he's too old for NYC.

Steve Mafi played for West Harbour in the Kiama 7's two weeks ago.

The musical chairs rugby thread in the sportal forums says he went to the Eels.

http://forum.sportal.com.au/yaf_postst64640p4_Musical-chairsPlayer-movements-Sydney-grade.aspx

Then on March 1 it states that he's @ The Pirates for 2010.

Looks like he's goneskis.

 

[Stagger eel]

<H2 class=storyHeadline>Kuttabul winger impresses

Charlie Payne | 15th March 2010

KUTTABUL winger Ratu Delanimati on Saturday showed the class which has rugby league&#8217;s Parramatta Eels very interested.
Delanimati, 19, played in the Camelboks&#8217; premiership team last season and later trialled with the Eels, NRL grand finalists in 2009.
&#8220;He&#8217;s come back to us and he played exceptionally well in the 10s on the weekend,&#8221; Kuttabul coach Cameron Spencer said yesterday.
&#8220;He&#8217;ll play with us in the 15s, but he has a shoulder injury at the moment which may require surgery.
&#8220;He trialled really well with them (Parramatta).
&#8220;A problem is he hasn&#8217;t been through the league processes, and we were able to get him in touch with a Brisbane State League outfit, but unfortunately he has this injury he sustained with Parramatta.
&#8220;I hope that he&#8217;ll get the surgery this year and look at next year going down to Brisbane.&#8221;
Delanimati played in Kuttabul&#8217;s 12-all draw with Brothers, which was cut short when Camelboks player David Black was taken to hospital after clashing heads with team-mate Louis Kearn (see Page 3).
The game was the last of seven played at Whitsunday Sports Park at Airlie Beach in the second weekend of the Mackay 10s pre-season competition, which included for the first time teams from Hamilton Island and the Gold Coast, along with country clubs Whitsunday Raiders and Bowen Mudcrabs.
The Hamilton Island side proved competitive, beating Bowen 19-0 and Slade Point 26-5, but losing 12-10 to Whitsunday and 14-5 to Kuttabul.

OK, and its also a done deal that Casper is staying with the Eels..

Stagger.... Any Bec and Buzz news on Tim Smith coming back to the Eels??

On current form...Meh.

On potential...Oh, noes!

I'm not sure whether this is your attempt to shooting the messenger or not but it certainly has more credence to the Tim Smith rumours.

 

[haynemagic]

interesting about henry rawalui, saints fans used to rate him quiet highly. would he be with parra nyc or too old.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Only stirring Stagger, I have grown to respect your style and your honesty.
You really are doing a great job in this forum.
Lets just say its been noticed.

I can assure you that I will never shoot the messenger... instead I really listen and feel what he/she has to say and you have plenty of that.....

Back to our present non-slippery Eels, it's time to inspire these NRL lads to greatdom. I must confess, I really thought they would not repeat last years phlegmatic performance which covered almost 2/3 of the season.

Assuming you have a good finger on the pulse (pre-season), what were your thoughts about the Eels coming into the start of the 2010 season, did you think they would perform as they have done so thus far, particularly against the Tigers????

The forwards looked unfit and tired and with these symptoms came a variety of terribly below standards/attitudes for such a strong bunch of players.

Do you think they were over trained????

Or do you think that DA & the trainers etc intentionally did this in a plan of tapering off the intensity of training as the season unfolds so they gradually become fresher and stronger, peaking at the right time when it really counts???

Or is it just an outright mental attitude problem, laced with believing in the build up of the press, others, and their heroics last year?????

Whatever it is...... what the hell is going on with my club Stagger??????
