HAPPY API IN MANLY LIMBO

He’s the hot favourite to wear the No.9 for NSW but Apisai Koroisau has been caught in limbo as a result of Manly’s salary saga.

Round 20

While listed as off-contract, the 25-year-old has signed a new three-year-deal but it can’t be approved.

Until the NRL comes to a resolution for the alleged breaches of Manly’s salary cap over the past five seasons, no new contracts will be registered.

Curtis Sironen is in the same boat.

He’s also extended his contract until the end of 2021 but is caught in limbo.

While the NRL had hoped to have the matter wrapped up before the season kicked off, Market Watch understands a resolution is nearing.

The good news for Sea Eagles supporters is both Sironen and Koroisau’s deals will be finalised as soon as the NRL makes their ruling.

Ben Ikin and Nathan Ryan are joined by Storm recruitment manager Paul Bunn to discuss the club’s secrets for luring new players to the club, including a behind-the-scenes role for Billy Slater.

Following Trent Barrett from Penrith to Manly, Koroisau has found a home on the northern beaches and discovered his best football.

The retention of Koroisau is a huge boost for the club and sews up the nucleus of their spine long-term with Tom Trbojevic tied up until the end of 2020 and Daly Cherry-Evans signed until 2023.

BRONCOS BACK-UP IN DEMAND

Brisbane rookie Corey Allan is a player in demand.

Market Watch can reveal the Gold Coast and South Sydney have made inquiries about boom Australian Schoolboys fullback.

Off contract with the Broncos this year, Wayne Bennett is hopeful of holding onto the young gun.

A star of Marsden State High School, the same place Australian skipper Cameron Smith attended, Allan comes with big raps.

Light on his feet with speed to burn, Allan can also play in the halves.

With his NRL pathway seemingly blocked at the Broncos with Darius Boyd signed long-term and under 16s representative custodian Fanitesi Niu inking a three-year-deal, there’s far more opportunity for Allan at a rival NRL club.

It’s understood, the 19-year-old Logan product’s preference is to remain close to home.

That puts the Titans in the box seat should they opt to make the Queensland 20s Origin No.1 an offer.

COULD SCOTT PLAY ON?

Parramatta skipper Beau Scott turns 34 in May but hasn’t ruled out playing beyond this season.

“I’ll probably wrap it up sooner (opposed to later),” Scott told Market Watch.

“I’m not sure when yet but I’m off contract at the moment. I’m just going to see how I go over the next month or so and go from there.”

The veteran backrower has more than 230 first grade games to his name and his fair share of injuries.

A torn bicep sidelined him for a fair portion of last season but he’s returned from pre-season feeling better than ever.

“The body feels the best it has for a long time to tell the truth,” he said.

“I’m injury free and really looking forward to kicking off.”

At the tail end of his NRL career, Scott admits he has one eye to life after football and started putting so plans in place but when pressed on what those plans involve, he was tight lipped.

“I have a little bit lined up but it’ll happen when it happens,” he said coyly.

SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

There’s been a lot of chatter around Dylan Napa being unhappy at the Roosters.

There were rumours the Roosters were shopping the forward late last year too.

The Queensland Origin prop is under contract until the end of 2019 but what do contracts mean these days?

For what it’s worth, Market Watch asked Napa about the talk he was on the outer in Bondi.

The prop was linked to Newcastle despite re-signing but declared none of the talk was true.

“It was definitely not me wanting out of the club. I have two more years,” Napa told Market Watch.

“I was overseas so I didn’t see much of it.

“My mates were sending me reports and I rang my manager and they made it clear they wanted me at the club.”

Which NRL club has made discrete inquiries about Melbourne back-up fullback Jahrome Hughes?

Hughes is under contract until 2020 but that didn’t stop this non-Sydney club from asking the question.
