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

[Kempsey Dog]

This could work
Need to see if his knee pulls through
Had consecutive shoulder and knee recos

I wouldn't mind this if he was fit, brought it up in a thread months ago. I'm not sure how he would fit into the balance of our side anywhere else than centre though

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Api is shit.

He got the flick from the rabbits, panthers and now manly

Didn't he leave Panthers to follow his father figure Trent Barrett

 

[Kempsey Dog]

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

Would be the perfect lock or utility for our style of play

 

[Freakzilla]

Yes but can fainu play long minutes and still be effective enough

Yes, he did it in the 4 games that Api missed this year and they went 3-1 with their 1 loss being 21-20 against Souths.

Shit defender.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

May be true in some cases, but I think he'd be a nice point of difference in attack

Shit defender.

 

[KiwiDog7]

On the verge of signing huh

 

[coach]

On the verge of signing huh

I’d say this one is signed

 

[JAYDOG]

Api will give us something we havent had in a few years.An actual running/attacking 9! JMK has improved his running game but Api is very sharp.

 

[JAYDOG]

(Ben Hampton) Finchie did say one from left field..

 

[KLil]

Can't defend.

All over sports radio.

 

[KLil]

Yes 100%
We need one more genuine first grader to add to the squad
Then top 8 here we come

Is it a fukn centre!?

 

[CroydonDog]

Didn't he leave Panthers to follow his father figure Trent Barrett

That's even worse.

 

[David holland]

Wow can't believe some on here don't want him, its been about 5 years since we've had a hooker that can riffle a pass off the ground onto the chest of a player for 80 minutes straight. You guys will be in for a shock when you see how much faster our attack will be with a proper dummy half. JMK has played well but still lacks certain instincts Koroisau has developed over the past decade playing the same position week in week out.

Lets not forget he has played in and won a grand final so he knows what it takes to win on the big stage.

So why have we been behind the 8 ball for so long

 

[vegny]

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

Jack bird? Surely hes due to be shopped around by the broncos soon.

 

[Malla]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

First it was Brett Morris signing than Kieran Foran and now Api Koroisau.

You simply do not throw anything over minimum wage for players with a long injury history.

It simply does not work and it looks like all the dickheads across the spectrum will never learn

Cant compare mate. If Foran was on 500k it would be ok but the blokes on upwards of a mil. Bmoz signed on for around 800k a year.

500k for a top tier hooker is cheap

This place is unreal,i think people whinge just for the sake of it!
We desperately need a Hooker we have for years.
If we missed out on Api and we ended up with Levi then people have something to whinge about.

How about we give the guy a go in the blue and white next year before people start judging him.
Every player plays differently in a different team so lets see how he goes first.
Now ive had my little rant i feel much better!

Obviously some of them will never get it. They wanted the dogs of war, we will have the 2 hardest hitting hookers in comp along with b. Smith. Along with jmk progression and api experience we will finally get some quick ball and flat passing.
Best possible hooker option available at a reasonable price. Bravo club.

And finchie u made it too obvious. Only person at an out of town club that can fill in anywhere in the backline and forwards is jack bird. Those mentioning oates.....theres a good reason he has 5 on his back.
Cotric is only a centre slash winger at moment.
Its got to be bird, they release him they keep fifita. Then they retire boyd if possible and the broncos are back on track from paying Wayne's overs.
