News: Api Koroisau contract situation

[Chip and Chase]

Solid enough player, willing defender but not a number 9 you'd build a premiership tilt around IMO. Our best passages of play in attack generally come with Fainu at dummy half. Good luck to him at Penrith.

Trent Barrett can be revealed as the man who helped Penrith snare the shock signature of Api Koroisau.

In a market move that nobody saw coming, Koroisau on Friday knocked back at least three suitors to sign a three-year deal with the Panthers.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Panthers started negotiating with Koroisau immediately after former Sea Eagles coach Barrett was announced as one of Ivan Cleary’s assistants for next year.

Appointed to the role two weeks ago, Barrett became a key figure in the negotiations that were kept top secret.

Barrett remained close with Koroisau after helping the hooker become one of the NRL’s most dynamic playmakers during his time as Manly coach.
