What's new

Round 22: Dolphins vs St George Illawarra Dragons, July 31st.

Interesting with regards to Katoa, he was scheduled to be back from injury.

Is it an extra week to heal? Or is he not coming on as quickly as first thought?
 
Katoa, Averillo named on extended reserves and bench respectively. Is this our best possible team if Katoa is back?
 
For the Broncos game, we might have out best possible team all available. That would be tremendous this time of the season. Just as long as they remain healthy until the finals.
Looks like we might have it a game early. Personally I'd go with Donga and Niko in the halves and give Katoa one more week.
 

Dolphins Team:

  1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow
  2. Jamayne Isaako
  3. Jack Bostock
  4. Herbie Farnworth
  5. Selwyn Cobbo
  6. Kodi Nikorima
  7. Brad Schneider
  8. Thomas Flegler
  9. Jeremy Marshall-King
  10. Francis Molo
  11. Connelly Lemuelu
  12. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki
  13. Morgan Knowles

  14. Kurt Donoghoe
  15. Max Plath
  16. Tom Gilbert
  17. Felise Kaufusi

  18. Ray Stone
  19. Jake Averillo

  20. Brian Pouniu
  21. Tevita Naufahu
  22. Isaiya Katoa

Not much to say about this except for #22. Coach won't bring him back unless he is 100% fit so will probably have to push on for one more game with Schneider.
 
Smart to save Katoa for the Battle of Brisbane, with the Broncos effectively eliminated it's their grand final, but we also need to win if we're going to finish top 4 (Wahs are likely to drop a couple games imo, their 1-7 has taken a beating and their pack can only do so much)

If he gets a season ending injury our season is effectively over, we want him back at 100% before risking him and we can beat the Dragons without him, the gap between our 1-5 and theirs is just ridiculous and their only decent part of their team is their pack and ours is still better. Get our backs quality ball and they'll run circles around the Dragons backs.

Rumour has it is that Katoa will be playing tomorrow night.
