OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

[Leck]

So Jared Heywood straight to starting 9?
Very unlikely.

Apisai will see out his contract.

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 lose them to older players who aren’t making the cut.

Our Jersey Flegg team's playing brilliantly, so there's hope.

so, another team will sign a 33 year old hooker that's on contact for the next following 2 years?

Benji has been vocal , saying he ain't going anywhere, as far as back as the article you posted.

Api isnt Luai
Hes not going anywhere.
And I hope he remains at the club in a capacity when he retires.

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 with, so a smart, successful player like Api could make all the difference.

There have been a few posts lately about having a second team. After my parents moved from Glebe to Cammeray in the 90s, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Bears.

 

[weststigers]

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

Honestly Inhave no idea how this comment is relevant to what I said.

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?

Why is Api leaving?

 

[Lestronge]

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.

Api Koroisau admits he would be open to leaving the Wests Tigers and finishing his career in Perth

www.nine.com.au

To be fair, he hasn't really moved the needle for us, and he'll be 33.

Adam's grovelling today has also shown he doesn't want a breach of contract because that would mean losing the rest of his pay for this season.

He'll be gone too.

That was last year. He resigned with us since then .

 

[Leck]

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

 

[Lestronge]

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.

Why are you driving this nonsense ? This is literally plucked from your arse and gonna cause major shit to those who are only half paying attention .

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.

wtf are you talking about ? Adam Doueihi and Burton will be thier poster boys.

 

[Leck]

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 appears Perth will pay him more and he has a connection with the Bears.

I agree it will be in the NRL’s best interests to have a successful Perth team, but their player signings leave a lot to be desired. Added to that their travel, I think they will be on the back foot from the get go. They really needed a Kalyn Ponga or Cameron Munster type signing to get kick started

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.

You’re sounding like you’re in the Isaac Moses stable muckraking.

 

[Moh]

Absolutely underrated not only here but across the game.

Still one of the best dummy halves doing it IMO.

Understand everyone is there to be criticized, but hate the crap he gets in the live game threads.

Consistently our most important player.

Your on the wrong forum

 

[Telltails]

Bump - I'm going to make it my mission to keep this thread fresh this week.
A very important week for API - suffered at this club more than any other he had played at
Deserves all the attention from fans despite all the crap going on with less deserving.

 

[Telltails]

It's API's 250th - that should be the focus...

 

[TheEnz]

Api is the one shining light in this club...we truly do not deserve him. Hopefully the rest of the team put in some sort of effort this weekend to not make the game a total embarrassment.
