Taking a chance on the Dolphins and life after Wayne | Isaiya Katoa

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

Can’t believe this fella is only 20 years old. Gus Gould said on the call the other night the life of an NRL playmaker is from 24-34. Imagine how good Issys gonna be in 4 years?

[@mjivalua]

Well spoken young man 😊. Go well toko hope to see you back at Penrith one day.

[@tehoutimoteo1817]

Isaiya Katoa , awesome to hear a very humble thoughtful and understanding kid , who hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings , still developing as a professional Rugby league player, @20 sharing his journey so far but still learning and being very humble and respectful aswell, especially about just being a human being first -than a high profile NRL superstar, I am a fan already, Isaiya Katoa big congratulations & blessings to your Mum and Dad siblings and Katoa whanau who kept you grounded from as a kid from Tita Lower Hutt Wellington, your mindset at 20 years old comes across very Mature and respectful humble down to earth human...next time I go to a Dolphin Game I'm getting my moko's to get a auto graph of you ..and also to shake your hand tell you to your face keep it up son ,one day which ever team you choose Tonga Kiwis or NSW That you will go on to represent definitely...God bless you Isaiya Katoa...❤️🙏🔥❤️😁

I enjoyed listening to this young man speak, he is focused and switched on I’m a fan

[@Young.London]

10:30 you only get one opportunity to create a “first impression” 👏👏 well done to dad and the Isaiah to have the maturity to wear the suit !

[@DenzelNFX]

Hope he plays for NSW in the future, he’s a beast half and he’s only 20

[@user-co9kr3qi1w]

Love the insight on the decision making requirements while defending and attacking as a half. Quality pod!

[@Dessyhinds78]

This guys pace when taking the line on is 🔥

[@jamesiopu8624]

What an awesome kid. I’m a Penrith supporter but now I like the Dolphins now. Malo lelei Toko 😊👍

[@stth4080]

Would love to see him play for kiwis but Tonga have been in need of a legitimate #7 that can steer the team around. But if he wants to do a one off test for the kiwis I wouldnt be mad 😂

[@cp2342]

Broncos fan here how far has this lad come very good player appears to have a very down to earth attitude have loved watching him play since his came into the league.

[@ricky4725]

Absolute gun!! Wish him all the success 🤝🏽

[@aliciananai7954]

Wayne Bennett is still the best man manager. He knows what the players need and has been able to relate to all players for almost 40 years.

[@seenaylors]

onya Isaiya 💯💯

[@taztaurima]

Wellydeeeep 🤘🏽

[@pj006marsden]

Very impressive interview . Not hard to see why the young fella can steer the team around like a seasoned vet .

[@fourk4karst161]

WELLYWOOD WUSSGOOD🙌🏽

[@MW-sw6ou]

Malo le soifua Katoa🤎

[@benmarr_nz]

I think you can play both Kiwis and Tonga, and both Origin and Tonga..I personally think the eligibility needs to change because the only teams that don’t benefit from Origin are Kiwis and England, if you’re eligible for origin you should be eligible no matter what country you represent, should almost be the same format as the Māori vs Aboriginals All Stars

[@porourangi10]

Hes the FUTURE !!

[@EpiiKxKiller]

Although it would be cool to see him play for NSW but if he chose to play for NZ I hope he does well for them. Kinda sucks how you can’t play for NZ and NSW

[@SlaintheMhath]

Bullshit isn't it, Samoa made the WC final but they are Tier 2 so they can play origin. Origin selection criteria is a farce.

[@wklllinke4991]

Wld be great if he plays for tonga and they have a proper 7

[@stevvvvveperry]

Yeah, I agree mate. I used to think that Origin is a Kangaroos trial but those days are gone now with the Tonga and Samoa boys playing. Time to open it up to the Kiwis as well.

[@MrUHTiger]

That's how we roll in the Hutt Valley

[@user-kw7sg9eu4t]

What the heck how is this guy only 20 lol fuck wish i was like this at his age

[@FreeDaLeps]

Valid

[@SlaintheMhath]

Come back to the panthers. The fins are my Qld team but they will struggle when Wayne moves on.

[@macetaylor69]

Jumped on the Phins day 1 since I hate the Bronx,, love watching this fella play puts most of the other/older halves to shame week in week out very consistent

[@Thefraudlegend]
