News: Api Koroisau contract situation

[bob dylan]

Will get shouted down by some on here but I would leave Api out on current form. While no where near the finished product Fainu needed to be a full 80.min player. His ability demands it and if he was told your our man I believe he would kick on again.
The 1 2 punch worked earlier in the season because Fainu wasnt up to speed for a full 80min shift. That has changed now. Hes ready.
Say what you like but the side hasn't played as well these last 3 rounds since api returned.

Your points are excellent and although we know Manly has scored most of its points when Api is on the field doesn't negate the good work he does.

Opposition side will shut down Fainu soon, it has happened with Damien Cook, who run riot for the a season and a half.

I am more concerned with Jake's attack than Api. he seriously needs week off to freshen up, and this should of been last night.

If we can beat Canberra next week i'd consider giving him the Storm game off and have him firing for the Eels.

Elliott even looked towards DCE and knew he was there. First grade footballers should not do it. Can’t afford to throw away 6 points against the top sides. I expect Des will put him on notice.

Which made it interesting to hear him tell (crap I've had a mental blank).... Fittler ! (sheesh) - he told Fittler that he didn't hear dce so didn't know he was there. Dce says b/s Elliott double pumped the ball! (I don't think elliott did that though).

Always pass to the captain (hospital passes not included!)

How does 1 pop a whores cherry if said whore is a whore? Hmmmm

Lol nice work

I see the Broncos have offered Segeyaro two years but are unsure he will take it due to his business interests in Sydney.

Now I have no idea what he is on and what he has been offered, but he was basically unwanted and even though he has performed well is 3rd behind McCullough and Turpin.

So theoretically if he was on something like 150-180k, I would be all for signing him as an Api replacement who is apparently on 400-450kish??

He’s a real livewire too but perhaps he and Fainu are too similar ??

In my opinion it’s likely Des would go with a good defender who can just fill a hole when needed as the backup, maybe Croker or Cust transformed into a hooker role for far less money.

Croker or Cust transformed into a hooker role for far less money.

Cust will only get a shot at first grade halfback when DCE is injured or on rep duties. Both would be ideal as bench utilities and Cust could develop into a very good attacking dummy half. Meanwhile, Docker-Clay is playing well in the Canterbury Cup

By the way , have you seen Docker Clay play ?
I think he is a more of a natural hooker than those two any day
What do you have to say ?

 

[Dan]

Why are we talking about Elliot
I have never really been a fan of Api in dummy half attack. The guy can't pass, and that is kind of a must have trait for a hooker.

His defence is good but for mine if Api has an option elsewhere I would let him go

Croker would be my pick. Reputed by his teammates to be the fittest in the club (when not injured). A full preseason training at 9 could be the go, especially in the financial side of things.

Good player but tiny in stature.

Maybe he is still young enough for a growth spurt 🙂

Docker-Clay playing for Hull Kingston Rovers (red/white & red/blue) in 2017 - in jumpers 6, 7 & 18 (I think)

Roids wouldn't build up their skeleton.
It's just youth, which we all used to have

I've watched Docker-Clay a couple of times for the Workers and he is a very impressive hooker who can play halfback.
He's very short, but stocky. Has a good footballer's brain, and leadership qualities.
I would be happy if he was in our 30 next season as a back-up hooker/utility.

That's one heck of a highlights reel for 1 season, he's a footy player for sure.
