Manly after Api Koroisau

[Fluffy]

Astonishing. Why did Penrith let that talent go?

Salary cap and they have Segyaro as well, a fairly similar player

 

[BOZO]

I had reports from someone who trained Api 3 years ago and gave a glowing report of him (my friend is a hard taskmaster). I have watched him ever since. I'm pleased he is coming to us and maybe he can adapt, improve and become a very valuable players for us. It is always a lottery on how a player goes at a new club. He is also a good goal kicker!!

From what I have seen of him through the years he has all the skills . No lottery about him

 

[Dan]

I hope @Dan rates him as he is our resident Hooker officianado.

He is better than hodges, shows far more potential at least

Better and tougher

Way more so far. Would you have Balin start and Api off the bench next year?

Yes I would depending on the fitness of buhrer and our forward rotation. I have to see him play in early matches but I think he will compliment DCE

Hodges is 21 and has played about 10 games in total having never looked out of place.

Sure he has things to learn but in comparison Matty Ballin was 23 on debut.

Yeah he wanted to run off the field in our semi as our only hooker

He's a flake

He's looked good for Penrith tonight. But I thought Hodges looked pretty good in his first grade games, too.

 

[Nordburg]

I'm hearing Hodges is getting a run in first grade this week

He looked great. Tough little bugger And a goal kicker

Mentioned on another thread this arvo that Bryce Cartwright is the player we want. Tonight proved it. Big, strong with a great passing and kicking game. He is the ball playing second rower you build your forwards around. Notice the combination and variationhe had with Api out of dummy half. Kept the Souths forwards onthe back pedal.
How good would the rest of Manly look on the back of those two.
Where does Matt Ballin fit in now?

Back row with Bhurer and Brown
4 hookers are better than 1

 

[Red Pill]

Yep seems we will have more hookers than a kings Cross strip club.
Api and Lewis are thankfully versatile players and can cover a lot of positions. Think we will need to still bring in a specialist half ( better than we have now) I mean better than JLJ and that Rudolf to cover any injuries or SOO duty for DCE.

Cartwright is definitely one out of the box. Surely Penrith would never let him go.

His uncle may make him an offer he can't refuse..............

Buckleys chance of getting him. Wouldn't be surprised if Gus hasn't confiscated his phone already!

Please explain about this in the semi final? I was at the game, don't remember this .

He took a big hit then basically fell over himself begging to come off the field,eventually he came off possibly concussed, no other player would've been so eager to leave the field
