Stuff it, I know it’s still a week away, but let’s get some discussion going on the Dragon’s game.

We need to improve ball control, brain explosions and goal kicking.

Katoa really should be dropped but we’ll see what Bomber does.

Gal made the point today
Moylan maybe NOT up to fullback loading ( running ) . If staff believe he can handle it , should be fullback .
If he can't , still needs to be in the halves .
Interesting times

Same side that won. Small change, Sorenson to 13 and Williams to bench.

Why should Katoa be dropped hahaha

As usual, just my opinion SB. But I have softened a bit and re-thought it. Maybe I was a little harsh.

This baffles me also. His **** up was no worse than CT and Duges the week before. Add to that he is new to grade.

Boy mates do stick together don’t they? :p

It’s alright PS, I’m happy to back down and support the lad. :)

Haha timed it well hey. Very entitled to your opinion. Who would you replace him with though? As far as I know our depth is pretty thin.

It will be
1 Moylan
6 Johnson
7 Chad

Kennedy unlucky .

Although it is unusual that you just miss a week with a hamstring .

# 13 is where I want to see the change , but again , it won't happen .

Um ... it's not one mistake. He let a soft one in defensively last week and then another one in this week BEFORE the grubber. 3 gift tries in two weeks on one winger is a good reason for concern.

IMO they should give him a bit of rope though. His work otherwise was very good, and fg wingers take a bit of time to learn defence. Val was consistently worse than Katoa for a good 20-25 games.

So who replaces Katoa in the team? Thats the big question

Not much depth anymore is there - at one point we were looking at having Ronnie not even starting!
Katoa hasn't been bad enough to drop yet, especially given not much below him.

Do we still have Hiroti?

His work rate and finishing ability keeps him in the team.

They were bad mistakes but he works his ass off and is what 20 games into his career? He’s improving and like others have said there isn’t really anyone to replace him anyway. He has the talent let’s give him a chance.

The failed grubber he attempted was on. If it sneaks through duges gathers it and scores or passes to graham. Just lacked a touch of execution.

Yes, why would anybody drop Katoa? He’s been solid give him a break - he’s getting better, there is bound to be mistakes
