Tevita Pangai Junior

[BZN]

I’m just curious though on how many other Chairpersons get interview spots on commercial radio? Lee seems to be a bit of a regular, from what I read? Are there others too? How many, and who are they?



Lee is a strong character and knows his stuff as the principal of Brydens Lawyers.

He has a segment that discusses current legal issues on 1170 SEN with Andrew Voss.

I like the segment very much. He cut the media talk to peices at times.

I credit LH with putting a bit of steal in the tigers Management team and knowing what and how sustained business success is achieved.

He doesn't take crap.


Latest interview. SEN1170

Really good to read such a **positive** post about Lee H.
Edit: Just listened to the podcast and reckon Lee H. is a smart and sensible bloke.
I am convinced Wests Tigers are currently in good hands and will only get better...starting from the Top.

Duffty to Dogs looks definite. TPJ? Zero meaningful progress all round. Could be us, probably the Dogs, might stay put. My advice would be to enjoy Wimbledon and the Euro final and regroup later on.

As bad a everyone says the dogs are at least they are doing something and not happy with the same team.. Unlike us just sitting here thinking we are a club like the Storm or Roosters where players will hold out for less money to come here.
On Reedy's mail on Triple M they were saying we are talking to TPJ and 2.2m over 3 years.. Someone was saying this before which included TPA..

Is the 3 years including the remainder of this year?

Surely its from 2022 onwards ..Hes suspended for the next 3 games,and theres only 4 left after that..
Not a lot of value in that figure if it includes 2021

If we sign him, i would expect it to be for the rest of this year and then 3 more years.

 

[Tiger5150]

Seriously he needs to keep his mouth shut

what has he said this time?

Said Pangai would be a poor fit at our club or ***something similar along those lines*** ..
Blokes a Wanker imo

No chance of getting the quotes correct before publicly blasting him?

It was on here the other day .. can’t find it ..
My opinion of him remains the same .

Yeah saw it the other day, was just checking if he had opened his mouth again.

I’ll have a look .. might have to go back 15 pages ?

Tigers back in the hunt for Pangai jnr, Bulldogs chase Dufty
Michael Chammas

July 8, 2021 — 7.00pm

A week after the Wests Tigers declared they were out of the hunt for Tevita Pangai jnr, the joint venture phoned his management on Thursday to reopen discussions as the Bulldogs close in on securing his services.

In a stunning backflip, which comes a day after Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis was quoted on SEN Radio saying the club ***"decided to move in a different direction"***, the Tigers have had a sudden change of
heart.

Other clubs even unca Wayne does this all the time, so it's not a big issue really

“decided to move in a different direction” does not equal "not a good fit for the club". Personally amazed at the level of stuff made up in the interest of character assassination here.

“decided to move in a different direction” could most likely equal "wants too much money"

It wouldn't cost that much and imo it would be invaluable to give him early games, to get to know everyone, then the preseason, to develop into a WT's player?

WESTS TIGERS “CONSIDERED” PANGAI JNR BUT DECIDED TO “MOVE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION”
BY JAY WINTER 3 DAYS AGO

Tevita Pangai Jr is one of the many Broncos whose future is unclear with Brisbane undergoing a mass cleanout.

While there were rumours that TPJ could be headed to the Wests Tigers, club Chairman Lee Hagipantelis has confirmed that luring Tevita south is no longer part of the Tigers' plans.

In an interview with SEN 1170’s Breakfast with Vossy Hagipantelis opened up on the details of the discussions with Pangai Jnr.

“There were discussions between the club Tevita’s representatives,” the Chairman said.

“There was no formal offer.

“But there were discussions with respect to provisions of a contract.

“But there was no formal offer put on the table.”

“The club, as it does with all potential opportunities on the market, considered Tevita and decided to move in a different direction.

While Hagipantelis admits that Pangai Jr is a talented player, he confirmed that the Tigers won’t be making a move for the soon to be off contract forward.

“I didn't actually meet with him but ***I’m told he’s a great young fella, very impressive young fella***

“And we know how good of a footballer he can be but the club just made a decision that that wasn’t the direction they wanted to move, so we didn’t.

Pangai Jr's future still remains up in the air, with the forward potentially seeing out his Brisbane contract until the end of the 2022 season.

BTW "I’m told he’s a great young fella, very impressive young fella" does defintely not equal "not a good fit for the club".

Chammas is making rubbish up and everyone here with an agenda are sheep, following him along.

 

[Tiger5150]

I really do hope we get TPJ

Need his aggressive line speed and second phase play with his offloading

Ultimately our 2 biggest weaknesses, our lack of line speed and offloading abilities

Young players with loads of talent, can’t miss out on another good young player

The internal fighting apparently going on will put pay to that
It's very damaging

What internal fighting exactly?

Please no, we don’t want another ‘Wests tigers player’

If we could get him for this year, even if he misses due to suspension, it sends a signal about the club. Get him here this year, front load as much as you can.

I would love it if this has all been a ruse to get him here but to chew up as much suspension as we can at Brisbane.

Clubs have 'informal' chats with managers all the time. Look how many players break contract and move to other clubs on big deals. The manager isn't going to report the subject club for offering their player big money

Broncos just getting on the front foot to make sure their best player is happy .....common sense really

@AnonTiger dint waste your time mate these people are jealous for some reason

Jealous wouldn't be the word....
Maybe sceptical.

@Demps can you and your boyfriend leave me alone please. I hope you guys are not MODS

Mate ...did you read all your predictions on YOUR OWN PAGE ...that were wrong ......I don't care that you were wrong ...but OWN it ...be a man ....be accountible

@happy_tiger I'm not going to reply to you anymore so don’t waste your time

Keep your info coming , most on here enjoy it and look forward to it.

No worries mate ......

Will help you out

We landed on the moon (or pretended to }

The Earth isn't square

JFK was assasinated

WT's won't win the premiership from 2006-2021

Sorry for being Captain Obvious ......

WOW!

You must be Nostradamus.

What internal fighting exactly?

Nothing
It's all a bed of roses
How about Nofoaluma’s post for starters
Dragging some of his team mates through the mud
Reports a few weeks ago about Tamou not being happy with what Madge was trying to do

Now apparently media reports that Madge has 6 weeks to change our fortunes to save his job
How he can't attract players
How our club has regressed

Now Sheens is coming back and Madge apparently is questioning why as he has had success as a coach so why bring Sheens in to over see our operations

Wether it's all true or not this crap in the media is very damaging to our club
The perception to prospective future signings would be having ramifications on us being able to sign players to our club
It was hard before and it certainly is not getting any easier

When Nofoaluma points the finger at other players in our team you know things are not a bed of roses

Ok then....

 

[AnonTiger]

This is the latest on TPJ, as it stands the tigers have up their bid to sign him with a deal worth around the 800000 mark that’s including 3rd party. The comments made by Lee regarding TPJ not the right fit for the club put a soar taste in TPJ and he’s manager. ATM TPJ has not signed with anyone so it’s up in the air.

I know the bulldogs will be announcing 2 signings with in 2 weeks I think Duffty could be one and they are close on signing Milford

He got dufty right....

Seems anyone that has anything negative to write is "making up rubbish"
We have been a poor club for 10 years and it doesn't look to be getting better anytime soon. Media are probably justified in having a crack at us really
