<\/p>\nKoroisau said his on-field chemistry with Luai was almost still in its infancy, and was excited about how far the pair could develop.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s one of those guys you just need at your club,\u201d Koroisau said. \u201cHe\u2019s shown the way the whole time he\u2019s been here. Let\u2019s just hope he feels the same way and wants to stay.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is massive for this club, he\u2019s been one of the loudest guys here in terms of leadership, and his competitiveness is next level \u2013 it\u2019s second to none.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019d be hearing it from everywhere and everyone [about what to do]. I really enjoy the friendship we have, we keep it pretty cordial, and if I feel like I need to say something I will, but in the meantime, I don\u2019t need to.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love that [our on-field chemistry] is still so raw. We haven\u2019t really tapped into what we can do together, and how much pressure we can put on other teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tigers have no plans to ask Luai to remove the clause, and know that by leaving it in his deal, it will ensure he only re-commits because he recognises positive signs at the club.<\/p>\n
Koroisau, Luai and a host of former Panthers are relishing the chance to take on the premiers at CommBank Stadium on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
Jahream Bula remains a week away from returning from a hamstring injury, with his cameo at a Canterbury game on the weekend not upsetting his teammates.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s good friends with Lachie Galvin, and he\u2019s a footy lover as well \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t read too much into it,\u201d Koroisau said.<\/p>\n

Former South Sydney winger Izaac Tu\u2019itupou will make his club debut, and became emotional when discussing what will be his first NRL appearance since round 11 last year. Tu\u2019itupou was ready to quit the game after being released by Souths but completed a pre-season with the Raiders and earned a train and trial deal at the Tigers for this season. He thanked his wife, Tiana, for convincing him not to quit his dream.<\/p>\n
Tu\u2019itupou will start on the left wing outside good friend May, with Jeral Skelton switching to the right wing.<\/p>\n
