Rugby League Week July 28Parra hardly the Lone Ranger:The Eels have got themselves in strife with the salary cap but there are other clubs who flew close to the wind without being caught. One former player from a high-profile club tells me tales of lavish gifts that went undeclared. "We lived it large and we were given gifts James Bond would've been proud of", the player says. "The funny thing is that it did us no good. We were complete flops and I reckon even if the powers that be had know they wouldn't have pursued us to hard anyway. It's not what you know but who you know sometimes that keeps you from scrutiny."

"I got excited thinking maybe a Winger, but seems he is a middle forward. We have plenty of them coming through with Talagi, Koina and Popo.
Hopefully he can be an edge where we have Funa-Iuta and Petrus as the only really great prospects in junior…"
