With the signing of Brailey till the end of 2028, does anyone else get the feeling api is off to PNG? Good on him if he can get that contract...

brailey is injury prone and just a solid first grader. he is not a replacement for api. api needs less minutes over the coming years and we need something better than hope until haywood has two years of nswrl under his belt

I wouldnt blame him for bailing though it doesnt seem in his nature.
We are going backwards at a rate of knots and he deserves to finish with some sort of.pleasant memories

Ah i was confused, just realised api is here till the end of 2028 (not 2027), so yeah I also dont think he will bail early (unless the club asks for it).
 
250 games for Api, that’s a great achievement for him and if that isn’t reason enough for the team to dig deep & get the win for him well I don’t know what would be. I would love to see his milestone game recorded as a win for us but that is in the hands of the team & recent efforts or lack of efforts are worrying.

Thats my feeling..we let him out of his 2028 contract ..2 yr tax free deal with Chiefs
BEen great for us..top 3 in 80% of games played
But by 2028 he will be cooked..plus we have 2 young blokes who shld be ready,and Bailey as back up
So win/win

Api is in my top 5 Tigers of all time. I can tell in his post match press conferences he’s hurting as much as the fans. Struggling clubs need guys like Api to come in and shift the needle, which he has done. For a brief 2 month period it looked like AK and JL were going to achieve the long awaited finals return for the club. But injuries, suspension & JL’s PNG deal put that out of reach.

Api deserves us to have success in 2027, he gives his everything for the jersey and if that effort was always there from his teammates I have no doubt we’d be a more competitive outfit.

It means little, but hoping he is smiling at FT today. Thanks for staying in the fight AK, many haven’t.

He’s not a man of words, so I don’t think he really knows what to say. He’s hurting but I’d also say he’s pissed off, embarrassed and à whole lot of other things.( ie what the hell am I doing here ?)
It’s certainly a long way from Penrith but he, JL and ST are painfully aware of that.
He just plays his normal game, which stands out in our rabble.
Hope we can get him a win !
 
Terrible game, lost the game for the tigers with that idiotic 3rd man in shoulder charge for zero reason with the Parra player already stopped and tackled.

hope he goes to PNG with his mate. Has been terrible for 2 years now.

Haywood and we win today.
 
Gave away a penalty which led to the first try (high tackle), missed the try for the 2nd try, but I can forgive that.

But you are up 13-12, and do a shoulder charge with 5 minutes to go on the 3rd/4th tackle. Absolutely criminal and cost us the game. I would not expect this from a 1st gamer, never mind a captain, leader and guy on huge pay packet.
 
Api is no doubt a great player, but am I wrong for questioning his leadership ability?

He obviously was the best player for us throughout some hard years, but more recently I’m not sure if he’s the type of captain we need

Absolutely needs a reality check. Great player and has it in him, but he's been far worse this year than people say. His service is slow and he's taken a lot of bad options.

Imagine if a Hunt, Afoa, Seyfarth, even Terrell May did the option he came up with 5 mins to go?
 
Disgraceful game by him today. Service was piss poor as was his decision-making in the first half in the opp 20. Then the cherry on top: shoulder charging a player who was already tackled, as the third man in to give away the penalty.

Never felt so disappointed in him. Terrible performance and the shoulder charge that cost us the game was the worst play I have ever seen from a 250 game and captain
