"You say 32yo isn't ancient but he would turn 34 only 1 month into his first season if we sign him for 2027. Also plenty here said Koloamatangi wasn't worth a 5 year risk despite a 5yr contract seeing him through to age of 33 or 34.

"He was granted a release for his child illness so Newcastle would be favourites as that is where his family is closest. But they spent all their cap on Dylan Brown and Ponga.. Not sure the issue with Barnetts child but one would think Westmead…"

Maybe but he was involved in most tackles so that's only natural. He'll get strong over time and miss less.
There are two ways of reading that because he may have his tackle busted but, he will have slowed the ball player down for the forwards to finish him off. In my opinion, if he stunts the oppositions run, he's done his job.
He's been outstanding the last 3 weeks.
I thought he played well tonight and is improving each game as his fitness increases.
Was Steve edge a cam smith ?
Kaysa leaves it all on field and it was
good to see a kick from dh as this is what Parra has lacked shhh ! Well done Kaysa the team is better for your courage !
Go PARRA great win !!!!!
I was going to write a blog about Kaysa but will just write in here.
I think Kaysa has gone from strength to strength all season. Every game he has played this season has been better than the last and I think he has copped a lot of unfair criticism for a hooker that is so young and that was playing behind a fairly poor team. Confidence is infectious and as soon as one person gets some and can sustain it for a little while, it usually spreads like a wild fire. That is what is happening at the moment.
Now that the Eels have got some back, they are all playing like world beaters. Especially Kaysa. I have really liked Kaysa since he made his first grade appearance. I think if he can get the fitness to play 80 minutes regularly, he is getting close to that now, and try not to tackle quite so much and do a bit more in attack and perfect a kicking game, he is and should be our regular #9. I don't think we need to look elsewhere. I suspect, Kayas is aware that the Eels are looking to bring Peats back and that is likely spurring him on. He just needs to remember that is the kind of performances that will be required of him, week in, week out, even if they don't bring in another #9. He needs to be playing like that all the time, not just because he thinks his spot is currently in danger. His spot will always be in danger unless he is the best option.
I am hoping that the Eels don't spend any money on getting another #9 and use that money elsewhere. Lock up the talent we have, invest in juniors and possibly bringing back Junior Paulo when his contract at the Raiders is up. I believe Kaysa is our long term #9 option.
