EELS WEIGH-UP KOROISAU BID

Don't be surprised if the Eels put in a sneaky late bid for Manly hooker Api Koroisau.

The Sea Eagles gave the 26-year-old livewire permission to negotiate with rival clubs last week and the Bulldogs, Tigers and Warriors showed immediate interest.

But Parramatta are also believed to be about to make a bid for Koroisau - despite the good form of youngster Reed Mahoney.

Coach Brad Arthur is a big Mahoney fan - but Koroisau is among the best dummy-halves in the NRL and would give the Eels far more strike power around the rucks.

Good luck to em... I'll take Mahoney if that happens

400k is a great price

 

[coach]

Glad we’re not going to pay overs just because the situation were in

 

[surfdog]

would be a good signing, even better if we can squeeze Manly for doing the deal

 

[Spoonman84]

Wouldn’t Api get the same money if he goes to us or the Warriors anyway? Manly would have to pick up the $100k difference in the deals.

Yes but the deciding factor is does he want to leave Sydney?

Plus Manly will be pushing for him to take Warriors deal over us.

if manly need him gone, they don't have a say in it.. remember they are the ones inconveniencing Api to look elsewhere. obviously they need cap relief ..

They control the release though so they could always hang on to him if it doesn’t suit them and try to release someone else. I think it’s a moot point anyway I think we already have him signed up.

Get it done

I hope we already got him as well but the difference is we may be only be willing to pay $400k tops manly throw in $100k warriors might pay $450k or all the $500k if they are desperate leaving manly in a better position.

 

[NPC83]

I think with the $$ they have to pay to secure the Turbo’s long term and DCE already on huge $$ there might be more than just Api who gets squeezed out.

I doubt they would ask him to look elsewhere if they didn't desperately need the money ..so Api has all the power in this arrangement

 

[Interestingg]

No way he goes warriors. They already have 2 or 3 quality hookers. He’d be our undisputed first choice
