On his way to us. Plays for PNG Hunters in the Queensland Shield. Also a PNG international.

Heard this a week or so ago and checked the footage on youtube - have a look !! Looks powerful for a half back, decent pace, not sure of his kicking game and game awareness.

He is highly thought of in PNG, they expected him to go to the NRL so I think we have done really well to sign him.

Agreed, maybe this will see the departure of JK. That said, has he got / does he require a visa, ?

If he needs a visa I hope we have it squared away, too many false dawns on that front.
Sounds like a good acquisition

Same applies to Ioane. That said, Offendahl needed a visa, we heard nothing and he is training so they do have an ok track record

Is this more than just a rumour then??

Re: Israel Eliab : Fri Nov 20, 2015 6:56 pm  

Yes, it is on several Australian Sporting websites, confirming that he is off to play for us.

Re: Israel Eliab : Fri Nov 20, 2015 7:07 pm  

Sounds promising. Is this the last of the new faces?

Are the guys back in training yet?

Looks good on YouTube but YouTube has managed to make Nicklas Bendtner look good so.....
