Apisai Koroisau #263

Take this with a grain of salt
But u have a friend who attended the Panthers simmons cup ceremony [it was a conference as well] last week, Ivan was there along with some riff players...a question got thrown out from the crowd asking Ivan if he is confident they can go for a 3peat ,his words were "we will give it a red hot crack, but we have lost api so it's going to be alot harder for us to do so. He then proceeded to say how he thought souths were a great chance to win this year
No chance I reckon aye...

Look nothing like the last few years without Kikz and Api..

No doubt they'll play finals but they're there for the beating imo.
 
Assuming Api is in the Origin Team and plays in the 1st game on the Wednesday in Adelaide, I am guessing it's much too big an ask for him to play against Canberra 2 nights later at Campbelltown.

Looking further ahead Origin Game 2 is on Wednesday 21st June
We play Storm on Saturday 17th June
but we have the Bye in the round after the Origin game.

Origin Game 3 is on Wednesday 12th July
We play Sharks on Thursday 6th July
We play the Knights on Friday 14th July

I think the above information is correct unless I have stuffed up with my dates, so would I be correct in assuming there is a good chance we may not have Api for the games against Canberra, Storm, Sharks and Knights.
 
If we had a backup hooker I'd be happy for him, but I'm a selfish bastard and not having him leaves a huge hole just so he can play in an exhibition game.
It’s the wrong thinking.
These games make players better and when they come back they share and spread that better football with their team, unless they are selfish.
I reckon if we had won the comp the last couple of years and had 8 players picked for origin your thinking may be different?

Think he can back up for Raiders clash if he's ok
 
I'll tell you how he gets picked....Gus asked and he did Gus a favour...Gus is always going on how the Bulldogs are "doing the right thing as a club". and pumping their tyres......This selection just gives him more ammunition in that say.
No reward for playing good footy … origin selection is a joke

I wrote on here a long time ago that Api is this generation's Cameron Smith. Got laughed at. He can control a game as well as Smith and even has a kicking game just like him. I genuinely think he is that good.
 
With api gone over origin, I still thibk we need to run with the 2 hooker situation

Simpkin can't do 80minutes, rua is still developing so not sure If he can come off the bench, the other option is will Smith....

I watched him closely on the weekend, his deception to fake one way and go the other is class. Markers always watch him but he makes them look silly just about every time
