Can someone explain what Api said or did that was so negative? I watched the video and all the talking was done by the fan?
The guy is on a high from winning his third GF.
Welcome to the Wests Tigers Api, bring your A game and show us all what a champion looks like buddy!!

Drunk words, sober thoughts.
He did a speech and said something like he's so happy with the Penrith success and he hopes to achieve the same at the Tigers.. then did some very sarcastic burst into laugher type sound.
You're watching the wrong video....
The one in question was from yesterday when he scoffed at winning with the Tigers in his speech.
I'm not fussed - He'll play when he gets here....
If someone asked me how we'll go next year - They'd get a similar response
(And I been round here way longer than Api will ever be)

This is so true from first place and a long way In front of everyone else to last place we all know why he is coming it's no secret he could have stayed at Penrith and most likely win again next year and make $400K or come to the mighty Tigers for $700K and setup his family and he said he hopes he will win and we all know that's a joke everyone knows we don't have a hope in hell and even someone in another country who has never watched rugby league would not bet on us
So many snow flakes buying into the click bait

He has better squad than what Barrett started with
Not surprised or offended. Their whole current team environment is chock full of too much celebrating and cocky arrogance -,hell bent on offending more than WT's.
He said coming here was a business decision. Not pretending that it is anything other than that. We need him more than he needs us. Time to suck it up and stop expecting players well paid for what they do on the field will be equally as polished off. Last week he was used as an example for IP to aspire to.

If this is the bar for recruitment we will struggle to sign a 30 man squad

The media is beating this up and IMO Hagipantelis overreacted in contacting Api's management. It's hard for a player to stay mature when drunk and hanging out with a team full of giant egos.
I think Api will be fine once he gets into pre-season. It will be great to have a top drawer hooker again!

I hold my own values quite high in this regard. However I’d lose half my staff if I hired using this as a deal breaker. They are all women too.

Nothing to worry about. Throw away line/comment/action that will be forgotten as soon as he out trains nearly half our squad.
Dude is a winner.

Facts as i see them…
- he has been nothing but honest and respectful since he signed with us
- his sarcastic laugh thing wasn’t professional but it wasn’t the end of the world
- he is part of a team that as a whole is full of douches and have no respect
- he was probably on his 53rd beer and was playing up to his fans in a euphoric moment for himself and his team
- if he says something along the lines of he regrets it and he shouldn’t have done it im happy with that

I don't like what he did either, but at the end of the day it has nothing to do with me or you. Only his wife need be concerned and it has nothing to do with his footy. IMO you don't refuse to sign one of the best hookers in the game because he upset his wife

True but I’m wondering about how his new teammates think. I know they’ll possibly laugh on the outside, cause that’s the blokey thing to do,but subconsciously has a bad precedence been set. Ie we can’t possibly win a comp, even our major signing is saying we can’t.
Whether he was half full or not I personally don’t think it was necessary or appropriate.
And I for one applaud Lee for contacting his manager about it.
So call me a snowflake if you want but my thoughts for the WT run deeper than that.

I watched 360 last night i dont usually because Kent and Braith are flogs but.... Kent hit the nail on the head not just with the Api & Fisher-Harris things but with the Panthers in general.
They are bad winners and carry on like 16 yr olds not only do they disrespect their opponents as a group they do it individually.
Theres no doubt they are a good team and probably will be for many years to come but they are far from humble, they even disrespect their own club saying they are the best Penrith team ever.
One day that culture will bite them on the arse, all it takes is a couple of ACL's or a few recruitment blunders and they come back to the pack.
