Koroisau and Luai named 2025 captains
Wests Tigers are delighted to announce that Api Koroisau and Jarome Luai have been named captains for the 2025 NRL season.www.weststigers.com.au
I think there was a case to take the role off Api completely. Not as a demotion, but just so he can focus on his own game. His discipline has been atrocious at times, and I think you could put it down to him trying to hard to be a leader. I think Luai is more naturally suited to the role. As it is, maybe he will feel bit of a weight off with Luai out there.Makes sense - could mean that Api won't be playing 80 every week too, which would be good. Needs a rest sometimes!
You're making too much sense mate he looked jaded towards the end of the season playing hooker and trying to lift the team draining.I think there was a case to take the role off Api completely.

Yeah he was exhausted by the end of the season but the effort and intent were there. Had to organise the attack, was our main creative player, played a combo of hooker and halfback really, plus led the line speed and kick chase.You're making too much sense mate he looked jaded towards the end of the season playing hooker and trying to lift the team draining.
Should be more sensible voices this season TWe don’t need two captains.
On field leadership is a different story though…
If we win Api. If we lose Jarome.Wonder who does the post match pressos
May's been talking it up...lets see how it goesWe don’t need two captains.

Naden funny stuff mate imagine him captain the team following his example they would all end up in the sin bin.May's been talking it up...lets see how it goes
Happy with Api and Jarome...feel for Naden tho
Luai didn't need the captains armband to be heard at Penrith ......no need to make him captain reallyWe desperately needed Romey as captain! Don’t get me wrong, Api is a great player but I reckon he’s too soft spoken at times especially challenging ref calls. Jarome on the other hand will be in the refs ear all game and will challenge everything. That’s exactly what we need. He also demands perfection from himself and his teammates allowing us to rise to another level! Perfect captain choice 🔥🔥🫡
