Pound for pound, Apisai Koroisau is one of the best defenders in the NRL. Known for his creativity, deception and silky ball skills in attack and his reliability and workrate in defense.
He first appeared for the Fiji Bati at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup before making his NRL debut for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2014. After only 13 appearences, he was thrust into a Grand Final appearence due to a Isaac Luke suspension.
Koroisau put in a stellar performance and helped the club to a historic premiership.
Via the Panthers in 2015 and Manly from 2016, the livewire number 9 returned to the foot of the mountains for his finest season yet. He let his intentions known early after an impressive Perth 9’s and carried that form right throughout 2020. He was a key factor in the Panthers turnaround in fortunes.
Koroisau will also be a key part of the Fiji Bati at the 2021 Rugby League World Cup.
