Highly likely Perth Bears would like Api for when they enter in 2027.
I thought Ready was the rugby league journalist closest to Richo ?
We know Richardson and Marshall control recruitment and retention. No information is getting out unless they want it out. No news is good news.
Richardson won't release information that could potentially compromise our recruitment and retention.
Didn't work too well againt Parra. It could be the issue though as his game has certainly gone off the rails. However, I think his attack has gone off the rails for the right reasons but in the wrong place.
API would be a player I would want in a role in our Pathways system.
Danny Levi wouldn’t be a bad signing for us as a fringe player at the right price.

I agree he is the type of person we ideally want involved with our club after his playing days, which is another reason we ideally need to keep him until he retires, but how much can we realistically afford to pay him as a 34-36 year old and would he be happy being our number 14 when it’s highly likely Perth Bears will be able to offer him more money than us due to their salary cap concessions and he’d likely be their starting number 9 albeit not playing the full 80mins each game.

NRL: Apisai Koroisau has left Latrell Mitchell in the dust with a great step to score the Tigers first try in their match against the Rabbitohs.
The 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.
Galvin is off contact at the end of next season but has already told the club he won’t be extending his deal.
It is understood the board gave chief executive Shane Richardson the green light to continue talks with Galvin’s agent over a resolution to the saga, which is expected to culminate in the teenager leaving the Tigers before the end of his contract.
There have been whispers he could leave before June 30, although that will likely depend on whether the Tigers are able to extract a transfer fee for Galvin from interested clubs.
Parramatta and the Bulldogs are expected to lead the chase for Galvin.
I listened to Ready live on Triple M this morning, he stated he believes re-signing Korisau past 2026 would mean we lose Da Silva and thinks it could be as early as next year.
What good is a fee from a club we can’t use it in the cap , if we do release him we got to get a playerWests Tigers keen to extend Koroisau deal, make moves to resolve Galvin saga

Can't the club insist on cap dollars?
I don’t think so
I would increase TDS time on field from next game and continue it and make API our 14 by mid next year , he can come on for 6/7/9.
Maybe no one wants to come here ?
