API Koroisau Interview

[AmericanHistoryX]

Please tell me you listened to the Roar podcast where Ben Darwin talks about cohesion.

Guilty McCarrry. Didnt. Did I put my foot in my mouth again? If I did - apologies brother

 

[Winston Churchill]

why don't you listen to the podcast as opposed to throwing shade from the nosebleeds, so that way you can gain an understanding around his approach? just a thought.

Mediocre enabling brigade rears its head.

 

[Winston Churchill]

A lot of players have come & said things like this before but I genuinely believe it when Api says it… this guy busted his arse all year long & gave it 100% every game. Without him I don’t think we would’ve won a game all year !!!

You can tell he wants to build something here… he could’ve easily hit the market for 2025 & most clubs would be trying to sign him instantly but he let his actions do the talking by committing for a further 2 years. I don’t have a lot of hope for the future but this guy makes me have hope 🟠⚪️⚫️

Wrong, Stay on script. Brooks had the game of the year against the Cowboys. You were one of his biggest cheergirls that match/year. How easily one forgets.

Haha i'm just not subjective with my opinions mate if he played good I'd say he played good & if he didn't i'd say he didn't. You must've missed the first 5-6 weeks of the season where I was bagging him for his rubbish performances but don't let that ruin your narrative

pffft. step outside the doomsday bunker for an hour a day. sunlight has many benefits.

 

[Moh]

Yet to listen to the podcast, but very very surprised to read how Benji wanted to play... given it contradicts almost every minute he played.

 

[upthetigers]

Love his honesty. I just keep on liking Api more and more.

 

[Telltails]

I like the way Api talks candidly about the side and respect that he has got the runs on the board to know what it takes better than most - including all us arm chair experts. As the club captain he has to demonstrate a level of positivity it would be totally unacceptable to speak otherwise and all clubs are required to supply media as per their contracts with the NRL regardless of their standings. Of all the sides in the comp we arguably are the side most can't see doing much better next year so the discussion is always going to be centred around what went wrong and what how next year will be any different.

Here's a summary.
Sheens put his trust in Brooks to be a competent half and run the team.
When it became clear that Brooks was incompetent Sheens was too stubborn to admit it.
Season over.

Pretty much mate but you wouldn't expect anything differently from a 70 yo (or however old he is)

Lol yep.

 

[Tucker]

Not trying to toot my own horn but I literally said this all year that our strength was our forward pack & trying to play expansive attacking footy with the backline we had was setting us up to fail. Api pretty much confirmed what we all knew... Sheens was holding the side back & once Benji gained more control we started to improve.

How is that tooting your own horn?
We had all been saying that for the whole off season leading into the year.
We’ve got the same problem heading into 2024 currently.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Loved the podcast. I really hope he droves those standards in the preseason and show everyone this is how you win premierships! My prediction:
2024: 10th
2025: 6th
2026: 4th Api’s last year, send him out a champion

Gosh I'd happily take that. Finally playing in September again.

True, I usually see your username and scroll straight by it.

@pawsandclaws1 Manly forum already kick you out?

 

[Krammy]

We've all been burned by off season hopes, but I do feel some level of hope for 2024 because of Api. He has easily been our most important signing for a decade. In saying that, unless we can improve our outside backs stocks we are going to struggle, regardless of his efforts and leadership. For me, even one good centre purchase might help us start rolling forward.

nice to know we have something in common

Not the later years imo.

100% correct, Sheens was hell bent on trying to prove that Maguire‘s coaching was the real problem and not Brooks.
