    Forward Josh King feels Melbourne have the young blood to cover the loss of Eli Katoa, with his Storm teammate making good progress in his rehabilitation after brain surgery

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The second-rower suffered three head knocks in 90 minutes while on representative duty with Tonga and later underwent surgery on a brain bleed.

    Three members of Tonga's medical staff are facing possible two-year bans over the handling of the injuries following an NRL investigation.

    The 25-year-old is already back running but Melbourne have ruled Katoa out of the 2026 season.
