TEVITA PANGAI JUNIOR AND JAMAYNE ISAAKO

[The_Patriot]

And that my friends is why Madge and Co are chasing TPJ and Isaako... We desperately need these guys but unlikely we will get them after tonight..

Yeah, thought TPJ had a good game, Isaako did what he had to do.

The news was saying TPJ and Walters do not get on, so there still may be some hope there, not sure how Isaako fairs with him, but they are chasing other players and they need salary cap relief, so who knows, but as others have said, who did they go up and see, if it wasn’t these 2?

T'eo and Gamble....

LOL, I know T'eo played for us, did Gamble? I know the name, but not sure if it's he same bloke?

He played 1 game.
He was terrible.

@hobbo1 and I ridiculed him and he never played again.


To be fair you and others ridiculed him before he even got that 1 first grade game.

He is no world beater but has shown that he can play at the level.

Untrue.
Judgement isn't cast until there is a reason.

After that 1 game, we saw his defence and how bad he was and then the ridicule began.

He has definitely improved since but to claim players are getting ridiculed before they even take the field is incorrect.

Not how I remember it

So are we getting both? one? none?

I don't think you are going to get a serious response on this one..

I would love an update from someone in the know also but I have come to the conclusion its a no go on both.

and you've come to that conclusion based on....? nothing? thought so.

there's obviously a lot of moves in the background. we would have to have been very close to have sent the convoy up, who knows where the chips will land until they do.

 

[the_third]

As I understand we are losing at TPJ because we have identified a lack of second base play. That's great call recruitment wise and hints at a change in style.

Hey Mate, Sorry can you explain this to me as I am a little confused. Most likely just me but thought I would ask. @the_third

typo central up there

Looking Tevita Pangai Junior because we need second phase play

The response from some sections of the Broncos suggests there is something happening.

 

[izotope]

Can someone explain to me why they bothered flying over to Brisbane?

show of force

Id much rather them going up with a 10% chance then not going up at all.
Do that 10 times and you might land a quality player to kick start us

Don't forget they are under contract for 2022, nothing can be done without the permission of the Broncos. Even if the Brisbane trip was mostly successful, it make take a long period of time to negotiate their release and/or agree to terms with Broncos for making it happen.

Just because it's quiet after ONE WEEK when Tigers didn't even advertise the fact they'd flown up, in all cases completely avoiding saying anything about it at all, doesn't mean they didn't get any traction.

Recalling Addo-Carr made it public that he had sought a release from Storm last year, still took months and months to figure out his next contract, and even then couldn't obtain a release for 2021 as he originally intended. Pretty normal for under-contract players who the home club doesn't particularly want to release.

Tigers still haven't released Mbye and he's been on the market for ages, and clearly not much wanted by Tigers any longer.

Looks extremely likely that the Broncs have managed the impossible and offloaded Matt Lodge's contract...

If so, that would almost certainly mean they keep TPJ.

Bloody Knights, what are they thinking.

But also still depends on how TPJ feels about Walters and the Broncos. And they may want to free up some more cash for the spine.

This will not help us at all unfortunately... Knights have some great forwards anyway so why would they want him as well because there members are going off about Lodge coming.

Maybe, but it would be very hard for them to be bringing in a new half like Reynolds having lost Fifitia, Lodge 'and' TBJ in 12 months.

They will def want to pair Haas with one other beast and it has always seemed like it was Lodge 'or' TPJ. Not both.

Re Knights...Lodge was outstanding v Roosters last weekend. Whether he can do that every week though is very debatable.

was outstanding against Penrith too. Lodge is a good player, just a bad person.

People saying 'why did we send all our top people there is no deal'...

Is it not obvious at this point that we are being used by managers to bump up deals / generate interest / pretend the players have options...?

Literally every deal that **has made the media** we have not landed one of them...Lattrell, JAC, DWZ...now likely these two also.

It looks a lot like managers use us as an option...we come charging to the party ...and then they send their clients anywhere but to us.

Except these players aren’t free agents as of next year. Totally different situation

Hard to argue... When we have made signings and they get leaked early the club is quick to respond and announce the singing. E.g. Hastings
Ever sense this story leaked last week it has gone quite and sounds like Broncos are back tracking to save face due to fans response.. Disappointed as I would love these 2 at our club.

It’s been a week and again this isn’t signing a free agent or someone from an overseas club. In the middle of the season, deals like this don’t happen overnight
