Is Sione Katoa the worst hooker to play for the bulldogs.

He is honestly a hippopotamus. Has no urgency or awareness. Every time we get tackled he walks up slowly to pass the ball, bends over slowly to pick up the ball. If you watch most of the good hookers they are right behind the tackled player and have purpose and urgency to their plays and passes knowing that it all starts with them.
A hippo at hooker and a sloth in the centres. Bit of an insult to hippos and sloths but there you go.

Watch the last game against the storm and you will see the opposition players clearly slowing down the tackled player but Katoa never puts his hands up to complain to the ref so we begin our next tackle with the defensive line set. Also look at his vision when he goes into dummy half as he only starts looking which way to pass once he is about to get the ball - he needs to be scanning looking for overlaps/mismatches the moment the player has the ball in hand taking the hit up not when he's about to play the ball.

Lichaa could tackle, Katoa cannot.
Lichaa was trash and was surrounded by a lot more quality then Katoa. They are both useless though. Difference is Lichaa was bought as the next big thing and Katoa got a min wage contract by calling the club himself. Not sure why everyone has any expectation on Katoa. He is back up or 14 at best. At least he is not overpaid like some others in the squad

Hey guys it's me fox,

Sorry for being away for a while but I have had to deal with some personal issues.

After watching tonightd battle I wanted to her everyone's opinion if you users do agree that this young chap is the worst to put the 9 on.

After deep discussion with fellow comrades we agree but a few other names got thrown into the mix but after much healthy debate a joint vote came through for him .

Thoughts and opinions and don't forget to like and reply to dis post.
Hes 100 percent the worst

Yes, Lichaa looked like Cameron Smith compared to Katoa. The people who wanted him ahead of JMK give yourself a triple uppercut
