As he begins his second coming as Wests Tigers coach, Tim Sheens believes new captain Api Koroisau has the ability to have a transformative effect on the club and become one of their greatest hookers. Sheens will take charge of his 250th Tigers game on Sunday when the Gold Coast Titans roll into Leichhardt Oval. "It starts at No.9, he handles the ball more than anyone else on the field and he has a huge influence," Sheens said. "Whether you can adapt to another system depends on the style of play. "I'm not worried about what's happening at Penrith, I'm worried about how we're going here. "I didn't think I'd see another hooker as good as Robbie here at this club and Benny Elias prior to that at Balmain. "Api certainly fills that gap for us, he organises from No.9 and that takes the pressure off the No.7 and No.6. "He's definitely shown that he's going to have an influence on every game."
