Apisai Koroisau #263

His service and his options were wrong in the attacking 20. Not at all saying that he was the reason for the halves ineptness but API gave loopy balls, kept passing it to forwards and didn't even once do a bullet pass off the ground. Luai was often getting the ball 15-20m behind the ruck with the defender in his face.

Yeah fair, I’d have to watch back to comment on how regular that was. Tbh though, his service to halves has never been his biggest strength, always his ball playing, running and kicking.

So encouraging to see the man kept on for leadership and example to our younger players spin around at dummy half today like he didn't know what day it was and have the ball taken from him by our opponents marker. Standards.

I agree

Letting Da Silva go for Api was the wrong call.
Love api, but our future was his Tayln

Is there any chance we could get him back??

Watching TDS at Parra he’s not doing that great at the moment. That’s not to say he won’t become a good player down the line, but he’s still not ready for NRL full time IMO. I highly doubt we’ll bring him back especially now its pretty much gonna be Haywood taking over from Api unless they buy another 9 in the future.
 
I am not sure why TDS was allowed to walk when we go and start Hope with API off the pine , we could have done that with TDS , first 25 TDS then API on , API stays on until last 15 then bring TDS back on for the last part as he would have more energy , I know Hope would be cheaper contract but budget buys don’t win comps ,

I believe it was the fact of not overspending on the hooker position but also they were both specialist hookers. Yes API has played half but average there imo.
Not sure hope can play elsewhere but he reduces the cost outlay for the 9 spot.
If they overspend on any position what position do you cut money from.
 
Yeah I couldn't agree with the decision to let TDS go for Api.

I think Benji has had a lot of say in this, letting Api would not have been good for 'team spirit' and Benji doesn't have the respect or experience yet to make those types of calls.

Lets pray Api can aim up for at least next year and the following, certainly a big question mark for 2027.

What did he say on 100% footy?

I turned it on. Gus was talking about Galvin. Had to turn it off immediately to avoid vomiting.

Haha , well I want one thing to happen when we play him , either Sam F or Skelton hit him and cut him in half , that frame will snap , he has been lucky so far , he is tall so no issue getting him side on in the ribs , the boys have both done it to bigger players this year so fingers crossed , I think Latu may even try lining him up .
Can only wish

You can't under spend on the position that touches the ball most and starts most of our set plays. But we do and hope a new kid with ability comes through. Then we let them go when ready for first grade.
