Anywhere beyond about 6m from the try line he completes the tackle.

Sivo that close you just do well not to cop a concussion
Would have been better off going high. Wouldn't have stopped him but might have delayed for a split second allowing others to get there.

Pretty sure he just gets bumped right off if he goes high. Was a fairly unwinnable situation

Was disappointed with his errors. Neither pass was perfect but you expect your winger to catch both. Thankfully we got away with it in the end.
Those errors killed me. Not on.

He needs to get read for those

Going high is less likely to be a successful tackle, but more likely to stop a try.
Also more likely to see you go off for an HIA.

He made a good tackle but was too close to the line and Sivo just reached over and scored.

Made another good legs tackle or two on him in other parts of game.

The tackle this bloke attempted on Sivo... Haven't seen such a blatant disregard for personal safety since Jackass.

Sivo so big Katoa could only get himself wrapped around 1 of his legs!

Still he made it harder for Sivo than it otherwise would be just strolling over - reaching out to plant the ball with one hand sometimes a player drops the ball when tangled up with a defender

Yea Katoa goes through these weird spells of a string of games where his handling is off (happened last year) - cause usually he has good hands (you have to playing outside Ramien). Sione will get it together

You can

If you come from side on with enough force.

I haven’t done the maths but I don’t think Katoa can generate enough to push out Sivo
Should depend on the momentum. Isn't the force equals speed times weight?

Feel like he's reverting back to the bouncy, spinning runs where he covers 15m but only goes forward a couple ... then loses it.

Took a couple quick straight runs in 2nd half that got 8m or so & quick PTB.

Tonight watching him I thought the same. Stonestreet is definitely coming for his wing.

But is that him or is that the attack oriented game plan
