Confirmed reports Parra has signed young kiwi from the Melbourne Rebels to play in the Toyota Cup, Isaiah Mosese. Source is a twitter account apparently held by his older sister who also happens to be Ben Roberts' cousin. Apparently this kid is a gun, does anyone know any more about him?

Here's what I've found on him.
He does have a RU background, having played four games for Northern Suburbs in the Shute Shield. He plays on the left wing and has scored 2 tries in those 4 appearances. He was contracted to the Melbourne Rebels, but obviously didn't play for them.
He can play fullback also.
He'll be 19 once the NYC season begins next year. He's 189cm and 94kg.
That's really all I can find on him.
My rugby spies describe him as a big unit:can motor. Corey Makelim did a great job at fullback last year so it should be a good tussle for the number 1 jersey next season.
Hope that this signing and that of Kamickamica will add a bit of impact where our 20's team lacked last year
Maybe we might entice big sister to come on board as well.....we are a family club.....
she'd probably cart the ball more metres than mannah....
Ricky obviously likes the guy because he starts on Monday training with the NRL squad. Other 20's players selected to train with the NRL squad this summer are;
Frazer Masinimua
Kaysa Pritchard
Pauli Pauli
Kelepi Tanginoa
If you are good enough you are old enough
Isaiah has been with union for the last couple of years but before that he was a junior in league here in Brisbane. Was with the Broncs development for a while.Has made a few rep teams including Qld.
Cheers Keith, appreciate the extra info mate.
Judging by what a fair few people are saying about this kid he must be an exceptional talent.
It`s kids like these that we now have in our system that are making me feel glad we didn`t end up paying a fortune for Folau.
With guys like Vai Toutai, Jason Siege, Semi Radradra,and Isiahah Mosese amongst a host of others, plus the expected out of sight improvements under Ricky Stuart from Ken Sio, Cheyse Blair, Ryan Morgan, Jake Mullaney etc, and the arrival of William Hopoate in 10 months time, Parramatta`s backline will be nothing less than electrifying in 2014-2015.
It kills me that there are only 7 backline spots available considering all the talent we have in our ranks but atleast the battles for positions will constantly keep everyone on their toes and we wont have players playing their best footy only when it suits them.
