Wests Tigers' Api Koroisau faces a three-game suspension, jeopardizing his State of Origin hopes after a dangerous tackle during a recent match.
Api Koroisau's hopes of winning a State of Origin recall appear shot after the Wests Tigers co-captain was left facing a three-game NRL suspension.
Koroisau was handed a grade-two dangerous contact charge by the NRL's match review committee on Friday for a first-half hip-drop tackle on Canberra's Noah Martin in the Tigers' 33-14 Thursday night win.
The hooker had escaped with paying $5800 in fines for charges already this year but his rap sheet has caught up with him and could leave him with no time to prove his credentials to Blues coach Laurie Daley.
Koroisau has not played Origin since 2023 but has been key to the Tigers' renaissance this season.
