Apisai Koroisau, currently associated with the Tigers, recently shared his love for donuts—particularly chocolate and jam—while reminiscing about his beginnings at North Sydney Oval, where he played for the Bears in the NSW Cup. Reflecting on a memorable moment from his early career, he recalled getting knocked out during a match before the implementation of HIA rules.
At a recent event ahead of the Beer, Footy, Food Festival, Koroisau expressed a willingness to consider a move to the new Perth Bears franchise if it came to that, although he emphasised his desire to remain with the Tigers. He mentioned that he enjoyed his brief visit to Perth, describing it as a beautiful, peaceful location with friendly locals.
When questioned about his future, Koroisau maintained his focus on finishing his career with the Tigers, stating, “I’m in no rush to sign any contracts,” and reassured fans that retirement is not on the horizon. At 32, he feels physically capable and is enjoying the warm-up routines and recovery processes more than ever. He acknowledged that most players don’t typically continue their careers past their 30s but feels he is defying those expectations.
Overall, Koroisau’s future in rugby league, whether in the familiar colours of the Tigers or potentially with the new franchise, is something to keep an eye on as the 2027 season approaches. Tickets for the Beer, Footy, Food Festival are still available for fans eager to join the festivities.
