Isaiya Katoa continues to exceed expectations and is set to be a key member of the Tonga side in the end-of-season series against England 🇹🇴
“He is an important player for us, and we bought him away for the World Cup as a young bloke more for the experience,” Woolf said.
“Once we got him into training, and once he played against France in a trial, with the drive that he had and the influence he had on the team as a young man, we knew that we had to give him some opportunity to play, and he did that really well.” “He is only getting better at the moment, and I really like the progression that he is on in terms of his improvement.” Woolf said.
Tonga will be the first Pacific nation to play a series against England and Woolf said he hoped South Sydney's Ben Hornby and North Queensland's Dean Young, who have both been linked to the Dragons, would remain as his assistants.“They are two really well credentialed coaches and they are both first grade coaches in the making so that sort of experience is great for them and their expertise is great for us,” Woolf said.
