Api stated he is fine with Sheens being the coach, if that eventuates and he is 100% committed to coming to the Tigers next season.Anyone got Telegraph access for the Api article about him addressing coming to Tigers next year and coaching situation?
Cheers 👍Api stated he is fine with Sheens being the coach, if that eventuates and he is 100% committed to coming to the Tigers next season.
The camels back has been broken for years.These leaks are embarrassing. Why on earth would a player want to play for the club when they read private conversations plastered all over the media. Sheens sat down with Doueihi and Hastings to address this recently and it has still happened. I hope it's not the straw that breaks the camels back.

High-profile Wests Tigers recruit Api Koroisau has backed Tim Sheens to take over as coach next year.
The NSW State of Origin hooker has also declared he is fully-committed to the struggling franchise amid increasing uncertainty over the head coaching role.
Sheens has emerged as an option for the Tigers after lead target Cameron Ciraldo knocked back the club.
Brett Kimmorley, Shane Flanagan, Kristian Woolf and John Morris are among the contenders.
However, the Tigers are weighing-up the possibility of appointing Sheens with an understudy that he can guide through the next two to three years.
Koroisau is a key arrival at Concord next year. The delay in appointing a replacement to former coach Michael Maguire has led to suggestions that the Blues hooker could have second thoughts. However, he allayed those fears on Wednesday.

“I’m there 100 per cent,’’ Koroisau said. “The Tigers will be me next year.”
Asked if the coaching situation was an issue for him and how he would feel about working under Sheens, the Panthers premiership-winner said: “I haven’t had too much to do with him.
“I’ve obviously met him a few times now and had a few conversations with him.
“But he’s got the track record, if he wanted to go and coach again.
“He obviously did it in 2005 and won a premiership so whatever decision they wanted to go, I’d be down with that.’’
Interesting stats, Boonie, but his winning percentages from when he was at Souths are kinda irrelevant.Interestingly Doeuhi has a 61.5% win rate at centre in 13 games. He has 8 tries, 8 line breaks, 37 tackle busts, 2 try assists and 11 offloads.
next year our spine will be
doughi
Hastings
laurie
api
so for the rest of the year please please just play the 3 players in the positions you see them in long term
9 of the 13 games at centre were with us and he has won 5 of 9Interesting stats, Boonie, but his winning percentages from when he was at Souths are kinda irrelevant.

Herbie won’t get a look in at FB at the Broncos with Cobbo and Reece Walsh there.Herbie signed 1 year because he wants a crack at fb. After being promised one last offseason.
He’s not getting that now…
Anything could happem
I have been looking real hard but I just have not seen it yet. I guess I will have to be patient.Agree with your comments …
Whilst on that question I would just add that from what I watched so far from Madden I can just see glimpses of something there.
This is the first year that he has had a taste of first grade and he hasn’t been a standout but I just have a feeling that in longer term …. we may regret if we released him.
agree, but noddy should also recognise we are last with the team he rolls out each week, won't get many wins sending the same group out each weekI kinda agree. This season is over. Prepare for the next. Drop Kelma. Play Brooks of the bench or not at all. Blood whatever junior talent we have carefully.
That said, it's hard to convince Noddy to give up on the season when he needs wins to further his own career,
Fair point. Would we also get that heat off the halves if Doueihi was 5/8 at Jacko lock?Everyone is happy to tell you how amazing he is - Without admitting that having him in the centres takes the heat off the halves and will create more opportunity for the team.
Anyhow.... As it is, was and will always be.
Anyone know how Tuki Simpkins has been going this year? Ive nothing against the young blokes theyve given chances to the last couple of weeks but thought Tuki was reasonable last year and from that would have thought he would have been ahead of them this year.
