Katoa is meant to be the next big thing in the NRL. He says he wants to be an All Black. He is born in NZ and 19 years old.
Seeing the 10 stocks in NZ, I'd be throwing coin.

Sounds like another NRL player looking to up his worth? What's his history?

Among the Fernies, is there one for "best at making sh*t up", because I think we've got ourselves a clear winner!

maybe a clear winner but the list of contenders could be pretty big

@SBW1 He is on a three year deal at the Dolphins. Ben Dobbins has described him as "the best young talent in the Nrl,"

@SBW1 A lot can happen between now and 2025. According to the article Scott Robertson has said he will be keeping tabs on Kiwis playing professionally in Australia. He is obviously interested in Nrl talent, and if Eddie wants to go down that line we can too. Wonder if we go after NAS from the Storm have heard he is one of Eddie's targets.

Doesn't appear to want to be a NZer for league purposes (plays for Tonga and presumably will play Origin).

@Nepia Neither did Brad Thorn. He has represented Tonga in League. Does Kalyn Ponga still have the option to try his hand at union? He was talking about wanting a crack, not sure if his new contract would allow it.

He has serious concussion problems. Not sure he's worth the risk.
-
Katoa I doubt even really interested and even if he was I doubt he would make a decent rugby player from what I have seen from Dolphins matches (admittedly few games)
NAS wanted by Eddie but will stay with the Storm
Ponga has talent but gets concussed every five minutes and I would be surprised if he finishes this season -

@Frank said in All Blacks 2023:
So Laulala has suddenly become more mobile this season? How did that happen?
this season? he was a whipping boy 3 weeks ago!
-
Laulala is playing the best rugby of his career... around the park... because he occasionally gets off the ground and runs with the impact of George Bridge.
He's also a rock at scrum time, one of those rocks that gets penalised way too much for the reputation of being a master scrummager.

He was school sports captain, dux etc. Came through the Panthers system but they have Cleary and Luai.
If it’s taking a punt on Katoa or picking Mitch Hunt for the All Blacks I know who I’d go for

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks 2023:
I would say with Ryan as forwards coach and Blackadder already having played under Foster that he is well in the mix
Id say his name is already in the squad. He seems to have a great attitude. I always know he is playing in the game unlike Akira and Shannon.
He has Allblack written all over him. He just IS an Allblack.
I remember Will Greenwood waxing lyrical about him on UK TV two years ago. Apparently behind the scenes he is rated seriously highly.
Akira and Shannon are too last time I checked.
