Koroisau faces big ban as Tigers slam NRL refereeing
Wests Tigers' Api Koroisau faces a three-game suspension, jeopardizing his State of Origin hopes after a dangerous tackle during a recent match.
The Canberra Times
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.

A $50 stitch-up... Leichhardt miracle and simple two-word rule: Inside Ricky Stuart's inner-sanctum Raiders
Canberra Raiders thrive on loyalty and legacy, maintained by the Furner family, contrasting the town's committee-driven nature.
Fox League
They say Canberra is a town built on committees and compromise, but the Raiders have always survived on the exact opposite.
You're either a 'Green Man' or you're not: it's that simple.
Like Yellowstone, once you get that brand, it's for life. This isn't a revolving door of corporate suits; it's a family business with a very long memory.
It started with the founder, the late Les McIntyre, and the bloodline continues through his son and former Chairman, John.
It's held together by the Furner name. CEO Don Furner has been at the helm since 2007 - the longest-serving CEO in the game - providing a level of stability other clubs would kill for. It's a legacy passed down from his father, Don Sr., the club's inaugural coach.

Marshall slams refereeing as Tigers star awaits charges
Benji Marshall criticized NRL officiating standards as Wests Tigers' Api Koroisau faces suspension, potentially affecting his State of Origin hopes after a sin-bin incident.
The Canberra Times
Benji Marshall has lashed out at the standard of NRL officiating as his Wests Tigers' co-captain Api Koroisau faces a potential suspension that could take the gloss off their hot start to 2026.
Koroisau's bid to win a recall for NSW's State of Origin side hangs in the balance after the hooker was sin-binned for a possible hip-drop tackle and placed on report for a dangerous throw by referee Ashley Klein in Thursday's 33-14 win over Canberra.
Fijian international Koroisau has already been cited three times this season for dangerous contact and is staring at a ban if his name appears on the NRL's match review committee's charge sheet on Friday morning.
