‘Wouldn’t Want to Back out’: Koroisau to honour Tigers deal despite horror loss​

The Wests Tigers have enjoyed a rare win with Panthers star Api Koroisau confirming there is zero chance of him reneging on his deal to move to Concord in spite of the club’s record breaking loss on the weekend.

“It’s all good for me. I’ve made my peace and committed to the decision so I wouldn’t want to back out anyway,” Koroisua told the NCA NewsWire.

“I didn’t even see what happened on Saturday.

“Honestly, until I get there next year, I won’t be thinking about them too much. It is what it is on the field and they’re obviously having a bit of trouble on the field at the moment, but I’ll worry about that when I get there.”

A lot has changed at the club since Koroisau signed with the Tigers, but the crafty hooker revealed he hasn’t spoken with incoming coach Tim Sheens since Michael Maguire was punted a few months ago.

“He did call me when Michael Maguire got sacked, but nothing since,” he said.

“That’s fine by me because I’m more than happy to focus on what I’ve got going on here. I understand that I’ve got a role to play here before anything else.”

While Koroisau is happy to help the embattled club, fellow big recruit Isaiah Papali’i has cold feet ahead of his move from the Eels.

“I haven’t spoken with Isaiah,” he said.

“I understand his position. He’s a young guy who is trying to make career moves now so I can see where he’s coming from.”

Working with younger players is something Koroisau looks forward to after helping take Penrith’s talented rookies and turning the side into a premiership force.

It’s a challenge he’ll face at the Tigers, but he says he doesn’t need the captaincy to be a good elder.

“That doesn’t bother me,” he said.

“I get that it’s a big opportunity and can be a huge achievement for some people, but it’s not at the forefront of my mind to have that role.

“I’m at a point in my career where I’m not trying to do much. I’m going there to do a job and be a leader, and I think I can do that at the Tigers. I think I can help out there and I enjoy that challenge.”

And that’s how it’s done… Already becoming a favourite.

Exactly right. Wouldn’t surprise me if he is captain next year as well.

 

[Westie]

The guy is a champ... handled perfectly journos were fishing for the slightest negative comment, but he played it with a straight bat...
Really despise the journos

 

[Lauren]

Awwww.
Love you Api Koroisau.

Exactly how it should be done.

I also notice on Wests Tigers news that Sheens made comment on the loss in the DT.
Has anyone got that article they can post ?
Assume it must have been today.
Plus saw AD getting abused by Tiger fans as he left the ground on Saturday night.

Lost a bit of faith in Api with the Origin shenanigans last year, but this shows that when it comes down to it he is a pretty honourable guy and you've got to like that.

I'm pretty sure he is going to be a crowd favourite here.

What I like is that he is happy to come and help.
That’s exactly what you want from your experienced new recruit.
Now if the Parra guy can be more positive he will be a big hit too.

Funny how things can turn really quickly, it was only a few weeks ago Pain in the Ass was getting booed by Bronco fans every time he touched the ball and now they love him again.

 

[hsvjones]

Clearly media trying to get another story otherwise why even ask him...
Very good pick up for us and excellent to see him shut it down.. Class

I hope sheens picks APIs brains , maybe he can recommend some Penrith players to bring with him .

Hard to do that with no contact. As API said, last time he heard from Sheens was when Madge was sacked, that’s a while ago now.

There is no way Api would want to have anything WT on his mind while he is heading into the finals. Same goes for Papali’i.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Very Api to be coming to the tigers

Why Api Koroisau is still looking forward to joining Wests Tigers

The Wests Tigers might be at their lowest ebb but star recruit Api Koroisau isn't just keen to honour his deal for next season, he's looking forward to it.

Unlike others who want a divorce without even getting married & can’t make up their mind

Good boy Api

Make him extra Api by signing some good quality forwards or he’ll be extra un-Api in 23’

 

[Demps]

What a champion.

Hoping Api teaches our lads about pressure and how to compete for the full 80.

Too often we fall asleep at the wheel and let the games slip away from us.

Api is a winner and has always been a force at the clubs he's been at, pushing for success. He's up against it at the tigers but hopefully he elevates & uplifts like the true leader he is.

We need him badly.

 

[hobbo1]

Still pamfer scum atm
We’ll see later what he brings to us

 

[StarswithStripes]

Should be good watching Api and Papali’i face off next weekend. One will arrive a GF winner when they front up at Tigers pre season in November!
