Fiji Bati hooker Apisai Koroisau is set to join the Canterbury Bulldogs

Fiji Bati hooker Apisai Koroisau is set to join the Canterbury Bulldogs on a three-year deal after being told his future lay elsewhere by Manly coach Des Hasler.

The Warriors were earlier reported to have been interested in the 26 year and now the New Zealand based side appear to have missed out on the signature of Koroisau, with the Manly Sea Eagles rake reported to be close to joining the Bulldogs for next season.

Koroisau’s snub is just the latest for the Warriors, having been snubbed by the likes of Jake Turpin and Matt Lodge of the Broncos, while their attempts to sign Parramatta’s Dylan Brown were in breach of current NRL rules.

An official announcement on Koroisau’s future is expected in the coming days.
