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?
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...❤️🙏🔥❤️😁
We come from place in the Hutt valley called Pomare 5011 i watch him n hus brothers down the footy parked everyday training or jus kicking the ball around congrats to your parents Marie n kotoni use done well❤
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 😂
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.
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
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
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.
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
What an awesome kid. Enjoyed watching this interview. Very humble kid. I’m Wellingtonian we aren’t much of a city of rugby league but it’s good to see another one make it big in NRL. All the best for the rest of your future doko 🩶
What a well-spoken young gun !! You got a good head on your shoulders. You got a massive future IKAT! Don't shy away from a kiwis jersey, ma bro 😅. 🖤🤍 chur!
