I'm quite sure none of what you're suggesting played a role.......
I'd say the dumb cunt simply thought he was tackled and gave himself up, rather than risking giving away a penalty.
I disagree..... if he was competing for the ball fair enough...but he wasn;t. He was trying to act as a blocker only. Your fair game to get shoved out of the way in that instance......
IMO.
Thoughts on Katoa....?
If I'm being brutally honest.....he's been a bit, mehhh?
At this point, I'd be dropping him in favour for KNik when SOS comes back.
This is what you get with Jamayne. He WILL break your heart....
a missed kick in front
a kick off goes over the deadball line
a dropped ball.....a missed tackle
all or anything of those things WILL happen, when the game is on the line.
Tough NRL initiation for Katoa so far........his halves partners keep getting injured and leaving him stranded.
He got pretty exposed regarding his lack of game management on the weekend.
I'd say WB will play Niko at no.7....Katoa stays in the no.6.
