I'm with you. They need a cornerstone player to lead the club. I want the Bears to succeed. In the end, it will improve our game for years to come.

Mate, I'm sure you're a nice fella, but you're two conversations behind. I believe that Adam Doueihi will be gone next year because of his behaviour this week. I've always been an Adam fan, but that was wild. I hope we don't lose Api because he's such an awesome 9 and a champ. However, it...

Do you think the NRL will allow both Perth and PNG to fail, not to mention Christchurch being added as the 20th team in 2030? We’re talking about billions of dollars in investment.

Money, he's 33 and loved playing for Bears in his junior years.

The Adam and Api leaving issues are connected, just like Jarome’s situation and possibly the Fainu family. Samuela hasn’t re-signed. I wonder why?

Mal is still trying to stitch together his team, but time is running out. Api is the perfect conduit. He’s not that old that he’ll miss too many games due to injury, but he’s young enough to connect with the juniors coming through. Perth will struggle with their junior pathways to start of...

I hope so, although I doubt it, as he's 33. In reality, we need to nurture and establish a better nursery for our young and up and coming guns. If that means another few lean years, so be it. Haywood looks raw, just like Makasini, but I’m happy to see them develop within our system rather than...

Adam needs to get paid. It would be a breach of contract otherwise.

My comments have been controversial, however I feel that Adam will be gone at the end of the season, and Api will sign with Perth. We are now on 573 points conceded and are on track to beat our previous record of 750 in 2024. As a club, it’s hard to deny that we’re a basket case that appears...

Maybe, but I remember we initially said that about Melbourne when they first came into the comp - how can an NRL side succeed in an AFL crazy state? Boy, were we wrong. It’s a big investment, and I’m sure PVL will do anything he can to ensure it’s successful.

I believe that both Perth and PNG will be successful. It's in the best interest of the NRL for their investment to pay dividends. Time will tell, but that's my gut feeling.

Sure, but as I said in a previous post, contracts mean nothing. The reality is we're a sinking ship as a club. I'm not sure any player would want to finish their career and go out like that. Especially Api, who's had amazing success and won three rings.

What's your point?

Never say never. He said it himself, in that interview. Whilst he could play past the age of 35 for Perth, I highly doubt it. He played for the North Sydney Bears NSW Cup when he first started in the big league back in 2013, and he's often mentioned that he loves the club. There are some great...

Contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Api is an exceptional old school talent, but he won't be with us next year. He's made it pretty clear he wants to finish his career at the Bears. https://www.nine.com.au/sport/nrl/videos/koroisau-open-to-bears-move/cmbj6jjv600030hmr2bqcc1ns To be fair, he hasn't really moved the needle for us...

Such an against all adversity to success story. Well done, Vicky!

In any business, staff have a role to play, and they need to be accountable for fulfilling their responsibilities. How is this any different from a footy player on the field? Adam needs to go.

Only a couple. As a club, we should sever all ties.

There's more to this. Look at Isaac Moses. If we lose Adam, it will suck, but if it also means cutting ties with that connection, I honestly think the club will be better for it in the long run.
