News Manly hooker Apisai Koroisau poised to sign three-year deal with Canterbury

[Kennelnator]

If he didn’t come to us he goes to the Warriors anyway. At least we benefit from it.

Benefit? lol

Api is a Mitch Rein journeyman.

Agree to disagree

U must have missed the out of Sydney club clue
But I’d take capewell in a heartbeat
Capewell might be going tigers or warriors

Yeah.. I did miss that mate.( Ben Hampton)

 

[Headmix]

Am I the only one on here that thinks this bloke is bog average ?

yes

 

[BELMORE]

This guy is going to be one of the great doggies signings—mark my words. This guy is tenacious in defence and plays instinctively in attack. Very versatile player as well, played plenty in the halves.

Good edition. If we didn't get Koroisau done I think a lot of people wouldn't of liked the other options that were going to come. We had to sign another Hooker regardless how good people think JMK is. This will strengthen our side and I think the 2 of them will work well together.

 

[bradyk]

Also if we didn't sign Koroisau someone else would of (Warriors, Eels) so it doesn't really matter regarding the Trbojevic/Manly cap situation. If anything we got him a little bit less (400-450k) leaving a little bit still in their cap for 2 years.

Is the other player oates ??

Hmmm...can play anywhere in the backline, and can play in the forwards but not from Sydney.
The only one comes to mind is Corey Oates as he wants to play in the forwards....

Me thinks you're talking about John Asiata from NQLD?

Tbh Oates would be the cherry on top. We desperately need class in the backline

Is that tomorrow?

 

[Natboy]

Nah.. Dessie is not a dog, but he didn't lose the 2 Grandfinals he helped us to get in.

He was totally out-coached both times

 

[Juicydog]

Oates would be a good signing, though i cant see him at the Dogs.

If the Broncos are serious in keeping Fifita, there is no chance of them re-signing Oates, unless Dariusssss Boyd "retires"

On another note, if Koroisau has been signed on anything above 300k, the responsible people need to be kneecapped

 

[bradyk]

Broncos need to lose someone tho. Oates for 500-600k would be great. I'm not sure we'd have the cash tho with Koroisau and Ese'ese (?) coming. Cowboys have some $ too so we'd probably be competing with them and I think he'd rather stay in QLD.

I think you'll find he's on somewhere between 400-550k (thanks Warriors).

Oates scores tries. 2 tries every 3 games. If we get Oates I'll be happy. Those extra tries are the difference between bottom 8 and top 4.

Back to Api... Api is a good signing. JMKs contract expires not too far off, and if we lose him we're back to having no hooker again. Better to have 2 than have 0. No hooker = no chance.

 

[_G-Dog_]

Api is better than what we currently have.. a welcome addition

 

[Kempsey Dog]

He'd be a great signing. He still hasn't come close to scratching the surface of his ability.

Yep limited time at centre, he's always been a right centre though... after all these seasons at left wing though I'm intrigued to see how he would fair on the left. Boys still young as, 2 more seasons and he will flourish
