Apparently a new recruit for the Brumbies

"Melbourne Storm Bulldozer".........

Apparently has quit the NRL after failing to crack first grade with the Storm and not playing a single game with them.

Kata is a talent and a half. Kerevi style wrecking ball, however can have brain farts galore and won’t have a rounded game beyond the bosh. Will draw a lot of attention in attack and drag opposition players into contact just to get him down. Worth the gamble

Kata is pretty much identical to laumape.. I think he actually slotted into laumapes exact role at the Warriors when he left.

If he's even close to as destructive as Laumape, good pick up.


Very impressed with our recruitment over the past few years

Prone to bad defensive reads and not passing, good luck with him

Weird choice for Kata considering how much depth the Brums have at centre; Simone, Kurindrani, Lolesiolo, Ikitau.

Might struggle to get game time.

 

[Up the Guts]

Weird choice for Kata

I doubt he had many choices.

Good luck to him but I can't see him doing much more than making some metres at the back end of the game wearing the 23 jersey.

And Tom Wright. While he's going good on the wing, I think 12 will be his best spot down the line.

Pasitoa is dominating NZ schools for all the concerned onlookers in Canberra.

 

[Slim 293]

Yes, didn't realise Peter Hewat was coaching the Schools U18's team..........

Hopefully he's locking in more players onto Brumbies Academy contracts.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Hewat showing good signs as a coach, and has the side playing like the Brumbies finished this year.

Pasitoa was impressive but Hooper for me was MOTM. Huge lad and very strong in all aspects of the game, except unfortunately jumping in the lineout.

 

[Bobas]

White signed for next year.

 

[Clawhammer]

White signed for next year.

Na, year after apparently.

 

[Brumby Jack]

It's from 2021. The early finish to next Super Rugby season would leave barely any time, if any, to play in 2020.

How does he qualify for the RWC when he isn't turning up until 2021? Dodgy as f*ck

[Lindommer]

Players have to sign for a Super side within two years to qualify for the Wallabies. White's 2021 Brumbies contract meets the criteria.

Yeah, I agree, fp, dodgy as fuck.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Solomone Kata confirmed on a 3 year deal from the Melbourne Storm.

 

[Dctarget]

Solomone Kata confirmed on a 3 year deal from the Melbourne Storm.

What position will he play? Never heard of him, any good? Next Koroibete/Folau/Hunt?

Solomone Kata confirmed on a 3 year deal from the Melbourne Storm.

Thats a big investment for someone who hasn't played rugby union for years. Is he qualified for Australia or is he considered a foreigner?

What position will he play? Never heard of him, any good? Next Koroibete/Folau/Hunt?

Next Tahu?
