The Dolphins coach has been in charge of Tonga for more than a decade, and has developed a tight bond with Katoa. One Tonga source, not authorised to speak on behalf of the coach, said Woolf did not feel comfortable leaving New Zealand while there were concerns about the health of one of his players. He also wanted to be there to support his family. There is a chance Woolf will be back home in Brisbane by Wednesday. Storm teammate Moses Leo was spotted visiting Katoa in hospital in recent days. The NRL has investigated the circumstances that led to Katoa being allowed take the field after TV cameras captured a sickening collision between him and teammate Lehi Hopoate during the warm-up at Eden Park. Tonga officials said they were not made aware of the disturbing footage until after full-time, and said they would have quickly ruled him out had they seen it beforehand.
