    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

      @cgrant Laulala is playing some of the best rugby of his career. Williams has done what?

      Didn't you see him destroy the Reds scrum last week ? He also have very good hands and makes the hard yards. Oh, and he can tackle.

        So Laulala has suddenly become more mobile this season? How did that happen?

            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.

              @bayimports Sounds like NAS could get an extension with Storm another three years. Have heard that. A lot of people would be pretty pissed if he played for the Wallabies.

                  @bayimports he’s 19 years old with a shit team around him including no experienced halves. He was great in the World Cup for Tonga when he was 18 or 19?

                  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

                    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.

                        Huh? The Dolphins have a decent squad and a good coach, he has experienced halves around him too, just one of them is fat and out of form, and the other one is a rocks and diamonds player.

                          @Nepia they don’t have a good squad at all. They’ve punched well above their weight in the first few weeks.

                          You have to realise just to how great the other nrl squads are. Most of them are past or before their best

                                    @Nepia they won’t because the West Tigers exist

                                    They’ve got Wayne Bennett and the hype of a first year team too

                                        @Yeahtheboys But you said this, didn't you?

                                        To anyone who believes @Stargazer bullshit about making stuff up

                                        and then you linked to that article. What was bullshit about what I said about making stuff up?
