OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

[jrtiger]

I haven't loved a player like I love Api in a long time, potentially ever.

we don't deserve him, but I am delighted that we have him for even longer than first anticipated. thank you for having faith in our club Api, even when some of us don't have it ourselves.

Honestly it's given me a little bit of faith back myself. I've been down in the slumps for a while now especially after how hyped this season was but yesterday's signings along with Api committing for a further 2 years gives me hope that something special is building here.

Hopefully they keep em coming.

Sezar & Lomax next.

Sezar & Lomax next.

Lomax is probably a Pipe dream.

Fantastic news thanks Api so happy 😀

me too mate. Sunday was pretty tough and looked as if we were headed for rock bottom. while the board and admin is still at large, I'm thankful that there are players both inside and outside the building that see light at the end of the tunnel.

having our best and most important player sign on for another two years is a huge indication that we're heading in the right direction. the succession planning is also excellent. Tallyn will be 22 in 2027, Ashton Large 19. great to see us building the depth chart in the spine.

 

[TT 01]

Great news and will work well timing wise with Tallyn. Can see him gradually getting more game time over this period and primed ready to take over Api in final year. Simpkin probably become surplus now. What is he on?

You's deadass can't be serious right now

What's the matter kid?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Api is huge for us and we need his experience for us to be a success.

Anyone worried about TDS don’t be. He is a long way off playing 80mins NRL level & having Api to guide him & take the load off him will be huge. Api also at the Panthers moved himself to the bench to let the next wave get some starting time and expect that will happen at the backend.

We have our captain locked away into half of Benji’s stint which is great stuff.

 

[Yanz 85]

Wests Tigers retirement village strikes again. And everyone will cry once we lose Tallyn.

LOL you serious mate ? He is only 30 and the best hooker in the world. Its a huge win

 

[tig_prmz]

I don't think it's a bad decision. He's changed the way he plays to keep longevity. I feel he may be moved to an off field role if he's ageing towards the end of 2025.

I think Bula also has some Fijian heritage so might see Api as a mentor.

 

[Bula]

API, API, JOY, JOY!!

 

[Magpie_Magic]

The optics of this are huge really.

Premiership winner with two different clubs back quickly from a badly broken jaw for a team currently in last position announcing on game day a re commitment.

Obviously certain player managers with prospective recruits wanted clarity.

This guy is a very classy individual.

I wasn't. I was saving you the trouble of watching NRL360.

I am stoked Api extended. Great player and leader. Big vote of confidence for the club.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Good news. All but spells the end for Simpkin

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Good news. All but spells the end for Simpkin

Yeah,

Missing too many tackles poor motor.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Yeah,

Missing too many tackles poor motor.

He’s shown glimpses, but overall not lived up to the hype he had coming through the lower grades.

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

Don't be upset if Tallyn leaves in the next few years then due to lack of opportunity

 

[eyewondertoo]

I thought he was a certainty to leave.
What a nice surprise!
