In a recent article on dragons.com.au, it was reported that Teakaraanga-Katoa is stepping up to lead the Dragons forward pack.
The Auckland-born player showcased her experience and talent in the team's recent match against the North Queensland Cowboys.
She ran for an impressive 206 metres from 14 hit ups, contributing to the Dragons' crucial win that kept them in contention for a top-four spot.
This week, the Dragons will face the Sharks in their first-ever local derby, and Teakaraanga-Katoa, who has been named to start after coming off the bench in the previous round, will once again be a key player.
The team may be without Alexis Tauaneai, making Teakaraanga-Katoa's leadership even more important.
When asked about her own game, the former Rooster expressed her focus on doing her role for the team effectively and keeping things simple.
She also aims to demonstrate leadership through her actions on the field.
