http://www.parraeels.com.au/team/player-profiles.html stumbled across that the new players have had their profiles put up on the Eels website. Hopefully the NYC players have their physical statistics updated.
The Eels twitter page has said that they need to finalise the squad and complete the induction process before they put up the NYC profiles, so that may take a while before their profiles are put up.

Couple of new faces in Eric Newbigging and Tui Kamikamica. ZDC in the senior squad and Alvaro and Ualesi up from the Wenty squad.
Ham what's your opinion on Newbigging?
I thought he was fairly average in the NYC games I saw him play. He's big but he doesn't have that something special that will see him make first grade for mine. He could make a good back-up for a club but given the strength of our edge forwards and that we have some strong ones coming through the NYC next year in Josh Aloiai, Tyrell Fuimaono, Jack Morris, and Kadince Christensen I don't think we'll need to hold onto him.
Not that I'm Ham, but I like Newbigging. He's a big kid and has a fantastic motor and work-rate. Probably not as likely to play first-grade as the likes of Aloiai & co. but he's a good player to have in the wings and I hope he can kick on at Wenty.
And 40 players. That's Parra, Wenty and a few spare!
Or was Mossop it
Allgood's profile is still on there. I think he was the most likely to be moved on so I don't think anyone else has been.
He very much reminds me of a young Petro Civinoceva, and has more mobility.
He's definitely the one to watch. Not sure about Alvaro, and have doubts if he'll ever make the big time.
At the beginning and middle of the season I was very unsure as to whether he would make the NYC let alone first grade. I'm still a bit cautious to say he will become a first grade prop as we have Mannah, Jnr Paulo, and potentially Pauli Pauli who are still very young and imo are better than Kamicamica. If Tui can put on that 10-15kgs he could become a decent first grade prop.
As for Alvaro I think this might be the last year for him to debut in first grade before he misses out on his chance. We have some good middle forwards coming through and some of them will be graduating into NSW cup next year which may see Alvaro being pushed out. Daniel can do a good job as a back-up no matter what club he goes to. Great worker with the ball but probably doesn't have enough impact to play regular first grade.
