Masada Iosefa was in his element at the weekend, playing rugby league in the annual Warba Wangarunya carnival in Rockhampton. The former NRL star led the way for the Emu Park Emus Keb Oakley/Dave Lennox Memorial team, which made the semi-finals on Sunday. He was in good spirits and telling his good mate Kourtney Watene how much he was looking forward to getting away and spending some time in the Northern Territory. He headed for Darwin on Monday morning. That night, the eve of his 33rd birthday, he was killed in a quad bike accident in the outer rural area of Herbert.
