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

[AlzzBulldog]

This leaves us very skinny in hooker now. JMK is the only one on the books next year and the alternatives on the open market leave a lot to be desired.

We definitely need a new hooker

 

[Smirrors]

Probably read all the shit the complainers have

I would rather save the money then go for another hooker. JMK is coming along nicely. Unleash the war chest when something appropriate pops up.

This was as appropriate as it got! No topline hooker was going to come here and the circumstances was right for him to leave. Its disturbing how people think sometimes

Brent Read reporting that he is going to Penrith now instead..

Lewis to hooker

 

[wendog33]

Wow just wow as Gus would say.

 

[BELMORE]

Wtfff

 

[Menteek]

Hahahah let’s see who we get?

Levi?

 

[BELMORE]

So do the panthers have any good young rakes we can poach

 

[GrogDog]

We just went for maybe challenging top 8 to bottom 4 again!

 

[Dogzof95]

Lichaa just re-signed.... LOL...

 

[Mr Beast]

Ffs

We let go of ennis for lichaa and cook for lichaa. Lol

 

[Spoonman84]

We definitely need a new hooker

The cupboards bare there’s Levi, re-signing Lichaa and a cooked Isaac Luke. Hooker is going to be a huge problem once again for us.

 

[DinkumDog]

Yep, official, going to Penrith.
Can’t say it’s a huge loss, JMK is developing pretty well and a quality centre is more important for best bang for buck.

 

[Smirrors]

Im not mad that he didnt sign with us. Other circumstances were in play. Not Andersons faults.

But for some people here to think this would have been a bad purchase boggles the mind.

He's the current starting hooker for a top 4 side. He has good pedigree. What do you expect for $500K these days?

 

[wendog33]

Shame. Api just didn't have the necessary Bulldogs DNA. Failed the test I'm afraid

 

[finchie]

Fcuk
He must’ve watched how we played last night and ran

 

[finchie]

If he doesnt want to be at the dogs good riddance. I just dont want to end up with Levi. Id rather get Issac Luke for a year

Levi it is probably
Penriff got one back on us for dwz

 

[Smirrors]

Yep, official, going to Penrith.
Can’t say it’s a huge loss, JMK is developing pretty well and a quality centre is more important for best bang for buck.

Are you legit? Its a spine position. It dictates how the team flows. Whats the point of a quality centre if the delivery ball to the centre is shit.

Look at top 5 teams hookers: Smith/Friend/Hodgeson/Korisau/Cook. They are top 5 in part due to the influence of their hookers.

 

[Novocastrian]

Is there anything decent in super league? What about matt parcell? He once had big raps.
Or connor Watson? He could be handy

 

[Natboy]

Surely we don’t re-sign Lichaa if he can’t even make the bench

 

[obje]

Kinda not great but JMK has picked up form and his stats are almost identical to Api. Same metres made, same tackle effectiveness. JMK even got us a 40/20 last night. We do need a backup hooker though and I expect that's meant to be Cogger or Wakeham now when they're not starting halves.

On the good side of things we have a shitload more cap space again
