From the Daily Tele http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/sport/nrl/story/0,26799,23874054-5006066,00.html

MANLY centre Steve Bell last night signed a two-year deal with French Super League club Catalans.
Bell has been in fine form this season and could not reject the French club's huge offer under new coach Kevin Walters.

"I will be giving Manly everything I have for the rest of this season," Bell said.

"We have a great chance to win the premiership this year."

Bell played his 50th game for Manly in the big win over the Roosters last Sunday-week when he scored two tries.

Meanwhile, the Parramatta Eels yesterday re-signed talented backrower Weller Hauraki.

Hauraki, 23, who made his NRL debut last year, has played 11 first-grade games for the Eels this season.

Belly has been good for us, added a lot of stability in the backline.  At 32 (33 next season) we couldn't really keep him - hope he enjoys his time in france and takes the cash while he can.

Good luck too him. Hope he's on some big bucks and can end his career with a decent profit.

Not many Manly players go to other NRL clubs. I guess this is because we get the best of them for what NRL dollars have to offer.

Anyhow good luck to him. He gave us good service. Except for that annoying crab running he's been doing for a while now.

i'd like to see Matai and Williams next to each other in defence/attack.....it'd be intimdating to say the least

 

[Matabele]

Put those two together in defence and the Manly defensive line will look like the grin of a Central coast resident.

haha - yeah it would have it's weaknesses....but it would be frightening when on song.
