Star Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa is inching closer to a return from wrist surgery, which has kept him out of action since late June. The Tongan international was sneakily named in the extended reserves for the Dolphins clash with the Dragons in Wollongong on Friday. It suggests Katoa is close to being match-fit, and opens the door for a late change to be made later in the week, whether he will travel with the team. Dolphins teammate Jeremy Marshall-King told the Courier Mail that Katoa is likely to be kept on ice until the Broncos fixture. “It is good to see him back on the field – I think he probably another week away,'' Marshall-King said to the publication.
