I called it as the disgrace it was - but post deleted despite my righteous anger being entirely justified!

I said it was like Kristian Woolf decided to end Katoa's career in a single game - just to save face for how stale & shithouse Tonga have become under his coaching!

He's a bum who is covering his arse with the denials - and a perfect example of why NRL club coaches should NEVER coach rep sides!!

His lack of duty of care to non-Dolphins players - and his selection of Finefuiaki ahead of Halasima show where his priorities lie!

BUMP - if this shit happened to any Wests Tigers players while on rep duty there would be hundreds of posts condemning how the relevant coach/medical team failed in their duty of care to OUR player...

But this guy is looking at retirement just weeks after winning Dally M 2nd-rower of the year & playing a GF - and people here are more interested in jersey designs!

This is not true rugby league culture to not give a shit about this avoidable tragedy - just because the player is not one of your tribe!

It has already been discussed on here..
It happened days ago.
Just because you are late to the party doesn’t mean you can start throwing shade.
Grow up, you sound like an angry drunkard.

Unfortunately I think weve seens Katoas last game, hopefully he makes a full recovery as best as possible

Id say there will be a major review in HIA protocols and this will change things up big time

He had a brain bleed, which we saw with Temaire Martin - forced him to sit out three years.

Eli Katoa is a weapon of a player, consistent too.
He's been the standard for a few years now.

Its a disgrace what has happened and I also hope he can come back from this.
