Make it happen

Straight swap now please

He Would be perfect

 

[Phobia]

If it's between Katoa and Fogarty, Katoa every day. He's a future Origin player. Sorry Onitoni Large, play fullback or centre in a few years.

Also worth noting that if we get him, and stick with Onitoni at 5/8 long term, we have the entire future Tongan spine of Hoppa, Large, Katoa, and Ashton Large. Not much competition for Tongan spine positions in the future outside of those four. That's good for both Tonga and Manly.

do we rate him?

This is from the Dolphins forum

@2257Matt, WTF are you talking about?
He is under contract until 2028. It's illegal for any team to talk to him before November 2027 unless they are given permission by the Dolphins, which they won't get.
And there is no indication at all he wants to leave. He signed a contract extension only last year.

I said in an earlier posts the Dolphins should be reporting this to the NRL.

Rumours circled around in Sydney yesterday that Penrith and Manly wanted Katoa and Bulldogs showing some interest.

Katoa is the face and marquee player of the Dolphins. He's one player I feel comfortable giving a 10 year deal too the only others I give 10 year deals too are non players like Bellamy and Gould.

Dolphins would never release him. Pie in the sky.

This is what Media articles do best
They create interesting forum threads 🙂

If this is not just media bs then Manly need to go hard at this kid.

 

[Ohgeez]

Large & Walsh both have potential to be stars but this guy has already proved he is a future star, if there is a chance of landing him we have to make it happen

If DCE goes there I think there is a chance. I never thought Warriors would release AFB or Roosters would release May but these kind of crazy things happen in rugby league

Who is his manager? if its Isaac Moses then we'd be looking at him.

Very hard to keep an unhappy player, it just doesn't help a club.
Can we get him on a plane to Perth and give DCE a ticket to Redcliff, all in time for the weekend?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

The opportunity to play alongside Haumole would be a lure for a young Tongan half!

 

[Brookie1973]

I won’t believe it until Danny weidler says it’s so.

 

[maxta]

Would be the Best signing Manly have made in many years and impact the club in a very positive way...

 

[bob dylan]

Yep he is a gun player.

Do it now.

 

[EagleGT]

Makes me LOL how some of the commentators pronounce his name. I think Dang Inane is the worst. Calls him "Car Tower". I thought he was talking about a tow truck driver at first.

Tell im he’s dreamin
