Anyone got any info on Kitione Kautoga?
Backrower. Highly rated by the club. Had a few injuries this year I believe. Someone might need to provide more info...
Pole heading back down to Flegg? Is he eligible? Probs need him to win the big GF!
@chook Yes he is eligible, we are going to stack that team and try and get a team on Grand Final day.

Apologies lads. He is right there in number 14. It's been a long day!
Tamou and Tuilagi lucky to keep their spots, both should buy some lotto tickets.
Great that Ken recovered - i'd heard ACL when he was first injured.
Anyone got any info on Kitione Kautoga?
As I understand it, he was a Sharks Jnr (2nd rower) we pinched from their pathways program.
No backup hooker on the bench.. we thinking Brown plays 80 or someone like Freebairn fills in. Has he played any hooker? I noticed Simpkin is on the reserves list 🧐
Kautoga is a Fijian I think. Looks a good prospect.

We seem to have a lot of good backrow prospects, hope he gets a run this year.

Don’t suppose it matters but how in hell do we get baldy 2 weeks in a row?! I speak of Cummins. It’s gonna get ugly Saturday night !
@garry Will be a big test for them this week especially. Roosters very strong & favourites to win it. Well worth watching I reckon.
