OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

[Tim Sheens]

Apart from experience, which also brings tangible benefits, I expect Tallyn to be at least on par with Api well before the end of next season, simply because one is rapidly improving as the other is declining.

At this stage I would prefer that WT can keep both for 2027, but none of us know for sure whether that will be feasible or warranted by then, which will very much depend on the development of Tallyn and others.

In the meantime, we just need them to stay healthy.

dont think he will replant his family for an upgraded payday ,when he got that here ,just up the road and life stays simple

I’m just worried where there’s smoke there’s fire, hope I’m wrong but Payten must have heard something, from someone. Maybe one of his old teammates ?

More likely Toddles is feeling the heat of being a poor performing coach and his main buy Bateman being a dud. He needs a quick fix and knows Api is one of the few who can turn a club around.I don't think there is any chance Api wants out

Payten is wise to ask. Api won’t get another deal with the Tigers. TDS will be ready in 2026 and we have Hayward who’s rated most highly by the club until 2028. Depending on TDS growth get Nanai in return and do a deal otherwise he stays.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Nanai for Api would be a good deal

A guy that’s 32 and was full of running from dummy half, busting line breaks, stepping Latrell twice bagging 2 tries just says every thing about him. It was enormous to go the full 80 without back up

This guys character just shows who he is

You wait till you see this Reece Robson bloke.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

No more carrying a second hooker on the bench, Api is the best hooker at club and one of the best players in the game in his position.
TDS plays reserve grade.

You wait till you see this Reece Robson bloke.

Haven’t noticed him all year lol

 

[Buttface]

Haven’t noticed him all year lol

He must be killing it.

A few blokes need to hang their head in shame in the video session. Support play is a key indicator of a team who plays for each other.

Yep was screaming "where is the support????"

Wests Tigers are poised to kick off contract talks with Api Koroisau next week as they look to keep their captain out of the clutches of expansion teams and provide some stability amid speculation over the future of Lachlan Galvin.

Koroisau is off contract at the end of next season, making him a prime target for Perth as they prepare to enter the premiership in 2027. The Tigers are determined to keep them at bay given Koroisau’s outstanding form and leadership qualities.

It is understood Koroisau’s manager reached out to the club in a bid to get some clarity over their plans for the former NSW hooker, prompting the Tigers to lock in talks next week.

Plans to speak to Koroisau and his agent come as the club remains tight-lipped over the outcome of a board meeting this week where the future of Galvin was discussed. (DT)

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Definitely wouldn’t be letting him go

Hopefully Tigers lock him down soon

 

[Greek tiger]

I think da Silva is definitely going to leave if api extends cant see him waiting at least another two years as the second hooker and with his best mate leaving aswell I just hope we Jared Haywood is ready by the time api retires which I think he will be

Haywood has an elite passing game, ruck IQ & short kicking game (arguably better than TDS at same age). He also has a good running game, pretty quick off-the-mark (not TDS level but still good) but does get found out in the physicality of defending in the middle & on his own line.

He still needs a couple of pre-seasons to develop his body, strength & defensive nous, to be ready for any form of NRL IMO.

 

[Odessa]

Extended Api he can play 9,7 and 6 he doesn't have to start 9 in 27 can be super sub
