OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

I don’t think he was laughing at us. He was being hammered by his teammates about this being his last premiership ring now that he’s leaving.

He said I hope I can do the same at the Tigers and laughed, in that he knew it would gee up the blokes that had been giving it to him.

Storm in a teacup.
 
We're very lucky to have two significant players coming from grand final teams next year. We complain about lack of recruitment but buying quality like this is very good.

I'm not worried about what they've said, I'm interested in what attitude they bring to offseason and training. I hope they try to impose expectations and can lead by example. Media talk is worthless.

Totally agree mate....the other thing that I would like to mention is,although Madge had his detractors,he at least had the smarts to recruit quality before this basket case speared him...lets see what eventuates,in my opinion these 2 will get the team on the right path to sucess ....

Fair dinkum some of you blokes jump at your own shadows...Panthers are spewing that he is coming to us,the media only want click bait...Do you really think Api would bellittle the WTs when he is going to get paid by us for the next 3 years and make a ridiculous comedy stint while knowing that the WTs fanbase will not remember.? talk about putting your head in the noose...He is a good person and a professional athlete,he doesnt want to impede his own future in the game by trying to belittle a club that has given him another opportunity to do what he loves...keep the faith ...

There is literally no room for interpretation. Extenuating circumstances maybe, but at the end of the day he was laughing at us. Degrading the club he's now a part of.

I'd be keeping footage of that for the first day of preseason and playing in front of the whole squad, it's those men he's putting down. Has to earn the teams respect then.

Anyone upset about this needs to take a chill pill.
Rugby league is so dry and dull these days fans are turning away. A few players like to crack a joke here and there. So what, move on.
All he said was he could win a premiership with us. Obviously that's unrealistic in the short term, we're a laughing stock and the wooden spooners. We somehow signed the best hooker in the game for 550k. Let's look forward to watching him play for us next season

Yep. And zero recruitment since Madge. It seems the club has already written off 2023. So why not give Madge that year rather than pay him out. It would have given him this whole World Cup to try to recruit some of his Kiwis. Then if Sheens still wanted to take his job he could have in 2024 anyways.

The reason is because we were trying to sign ciraldo, and if we went back now we would look even stupider than we already do! Ciraldo would have brought players with him which is what we where expecting to happen.

Ciraldo has currently brought no one of note with him to the dogs, personally i see another Trent Barrett situation
 
No one blames him for thinking that or even saying that to his mates (drunk or not), but the issue is that it was on camera and posted on social media.

Cowboys in 2022 went in with the belief that they can win the premiership, imagine if Townsend was caught on camera having that reaction. Would they have kicked on like this?
 
Not sure but I don't think it's a good look. We need leadership to drive the expectations. When a new recruit who will be a senior leaders laughs at the fact that he will not be anywhere near as successful as he previously was, might not be the worst thing in the world but for the young players coming through and new recruits it shows that this club doesn't take the comp seriously. That this organisation won't ever compete with the top teams.

He should not be in the leadership group with that attitude to be honest.
