OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

[Chunk]

Yeah I couldn't agree with the decision to let TDS go for Api.

I think Benji has had a lot of say in this, letting Api would not have been good for 'team spirit' and Benji doesn't have the respect or experience yet to make those types of calls.

Lets pray Api can aim up for at least next year and the following, certainly a big question mark for 2027.

 

[Twodogs]

I agree

Letting Da Silva go for Api was the wrong call.
Love api, but our future was his Tayln

Is there any chance we could get him back??

One dimensional. Hope gives better service and then there's Hayward who I haven't seen play.

Any player lost to overs is a win.

 

[Hbom]

What did he say on 100% footy?

I turned it on. Gus was talking about Galvin. Had to turn it off immediately to avoid vomiting.

 

[cktiger]

even Blind Freddy can see Api digressing over the last few years , Coach may have just realized also starting him from the bench today.How they didnt sell that to TDS leaves me baffled

TDS didn’t want a bar of it. Wanted a guaranteed spot.

I agree

Is there any chance we could get him back??

Maybe in a few years when he’s good enough. Still green and wanted the keys to the castle.

He struggled in NSW Cup being honest not ready to be a full time hooker. He has talent but a below NRL standard player.

Haha , well I want one thing to happen when we play him , either Sam F or Skelton hit him and cut him in half , that frame will snap , he has been lucky so far , he is tall so no issue getting him side on in the ribs , the boys have both done it to bigger players this year so fingers crossed , I think Latu may even try lining him up .
Can only wish

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Well deserved & Benji put it brilliantly he is the heart & soul of the team.

I’m ok with this , he is a great part of the team and keeping quality is important , we now only let rubbish go

 

[Droppy05]

I believe it was the fact of not overspending on the hooker position but also they were both specialist hookers. Yes API has played half but average there imo.
Not sure hope can play elsewhere but he reduces the cost outlay for the 9 spot.
If they overspend on any position what position do you cut money from.

You can't under spend on the position that touches the ball most and starts most of our set plays. But we do and hope a new kid with ability comes through. Then we let them go when ready for first grade.

 

[tigahhh]

our skip 🤍

I think there is a big question mark for 2026?

 

[user118245]

Api’s signing is a turning point in club history, the Penrith parade had me worried but has and continues to show love and pride in the jersey. Good work to Richo and Benji for locking him up and hopefully setting up a plan for him to coach for us after retiring

 

[Droppy05]

Guaranteed what? Starting or in the 17? If in the 17 we should have agreed. Api's best is past him and TDS is in front of him. Short sighted again.

 

[Droppy05]

Confirmed Kori extended to 2028. Good luck Tigers.

 

[Wezt]

Concerned on how he will go in 2027-28, but for the short term it’s needed

 

[Tim Sheens]

Oh well, WT have done it again. Extending/signing an already declining aged player to a contract that now has 3 further years to go after the 7 remaining rounds of this season play out.

Api may well still be the heart and soul of the club now, though I expect a pacemaker will be needed to remain that come 2027.

 

[tig_prmz]

Good news.

I still think he needs to change his style a little bit to ensure his longevity and to suit the team's requirements a little more. But, I've got good faith in him that he'll do it. Seems like the Tigers are wanting to build a culture around Api. Have good fun off the field but all business on it.
