Redcliffe Dolphins recruitment targets

[thenrlphinsider]

Katoa (18 y.o.) is the guy I am excited about, though O'Sullivan with the chance to establish himself as a NRL halfback should not be quickly overlooked. Penrith were equally unhappy to lose him.

Having watched him for the past 5 years, the next half in that grou is Isaiah Katoa, would be no surprise if he is not the 6 or 7 halfway though the season. He’s an exceptional talent, and I’m not a Penrith fan

He is going to be a machine, Hopefully he gets a game or 2 in the World Cup to help his development

O'Sullivan can play 6 too, So no reason they can't be the halves

Come on Dolphins! Buy some backs - probably a centre. Based on that side Edrick Lee would be ahead of Isaako also.

Nope, Isaako would be the other Winger, robert jennings is a centre... PR keeps putting him in the run onside.. he would be a best an 18th man

Isaako shouldn’t be near a first grade side (if they are going well). He was absolutely dreadful for the Titans

Jennings was worse for us

He turned up halfway thru the season... i wouldn't put it all on him.... the titans just haven't ever learned how to defend for 80 mins

Jennings was worse for us

He wouldn’t have played many games for you last year, would he?

There was a period of about 10-12 weeks where the Titans kept picking Isaako and he was an absolute liability.

Id say he lost us more games than we won

He couldn’t even catch the ball at one stage. It was as bad as when CNK was playing fullback for us early in the year and that’s bad.

He was the back up centre so got 8 games, Neither are long term options

I reckon Hammer goes there... whenever he returns from injury.... they'll get themselves a stable fullback... its seems to be a defensive minded side.. not too many flashy players that have that hail mary type plays
.. no zac lomax flick pass sheeeet!!!

Really? Wow he played more games than I thought. Can’t say I ever really noticed him that much btw but yeah the fact that Isaako and him are being talked about probably means that they are a little light on in the backs

Agreed. Though O'Sullivan has come to the team to be our 7, and he will get the first opportunity.

Roosters make 2 halfback's work, Better than Milford being in the side

Rumoured to be chasing union back

Shaun Stevenson's All Blacks XV omission fuels NRL rumours

Stevenson's play for the Maori All Blacks against Ireland was the big amplifier in discussions around his test-level potential.

Katoa was good for Tonga this morning. Couldn't expect much more from an 18 year old on that kind of stage. The The must be pleased

Yep, a good hit out for the young bloke. Just an exciting prospect. The good news is he will be under the tutelage of Wayne Bennett who can develop young talent as well as any coach.

I don't know much about Shaun having given up on rugby some time ago (a whole other thread). I checked out some YouTube stuff, though I have no opinion on him or the signing outside of the fact if he was an All Black, he has some natural ability.

Does anyone have any comments on him?
